Coconut Water!!! 🥥

The heat has been insane. Despite the thunderstorms, we still got some searing days. I can't complain since good weather = stable nerves for the dog and we needn't get sad and wet while doing a pee or poop run. The thing I've been mildly obsessed over — freshly extracted coconut water. I've literally had coconut water six days a week for a month straight now. LOL It started when the man had Covid and needed hydration. Nothing spells 'awesome' like chilled coconut water. 

At only 44 calories or so, zero grams of fat, its low-carb, low-enough sugar and electrolytes are a godsend in our merciless tropical heat and humidity. That day after HIIT at the gym, I managed to get to a kiosk in time to also get two large cups of coconut water for Choya's walkers; kept them chilled in the fridge while I waited to pick up Choya coming home from her morning walk. I'd imagine how delicious that would be for them returning the floofs after a hot morning's hard work. Coconut water is so neutral that even people with allergies could have that. 

These coconut water kiosks have got to be conveniently located to where I lurk and run errands at. There're always a few decent kiosks around at the malls and such. I have no idea how fast they pop up and how soon they close down, but I'll take whatever comes my way. Right now, my vote goes to Mr Coconut and Co+Nut+Ink. They use the sweet Thai coconuts, and the meat is soft and nicely scraped out. CocoBoss has decent juice, but the flesh tends to be tougher. I do like eating the meat. These cups of coconut water aren't just perk-me-ups in the middle of the day; the meat can be a tiny meal too.

Sorry Dorcas, I accidentally deleted your comment. If I stock coconuts at home, i'll get these from Fairprice then.
