Oh...I Just Love Coconut Water

This is a new one for me.  Well new in that I have been drinking this for a couple of months and have become somewhat addicted.  I am not a soft drink (soda or pop in other countries) drinker, well I do on the odd occasion, really just as an addition to vodka, LOL.  I am not really a juice drinker either, I just love to drink water (boring I know).

Anyway I have heard about coconut water and it being some wonderful new fad and hadn't really paid much attention.  Coconut water is the clear fluid that comes from the inside of young green coconuts.  It doesn't have any fat and is very high in potassium.  It is also rich in electrolytes so it makes it a very hydrating drink.

I was at a local market a couple of months ago and they had a massive pile of Cocobella (www.purecocobella.com) Coconut Waters at the check out.  They had a few flavours, but what caught my eye was the Pink Guava.  YUM YUM YUM, I love Guava juice.  The only place I have ever had it was in Hawaii and it is so delicious.  So I picked up one little carton and took it home and popped it in the fridge.

There are three flavours available.  Pineapple, Pink Guava and Mango.  I actually forgot about it for a few days and opened the fridge one day and thought I would give that a try.  Oh I can not tell you how good it was.  I went right out and bought some more pink guava but also one each of the pineapple and mango.  I tried the pineapple a few days later and was not a massive fan of that, I won't be getting the Pineapple flavour again.  Last night I tried the Mango flavour and it was delicious.  So my favourite flavours are the Pink Guava and the Mango.

So I can highly recommend trying these but make sure they are cold.  They are often not kept in the fridge when you buy them.  I saw them at Coles supermarket (in Australia) the other day, but I get mine from a local market and am not sure of where they are available in other countries.  Here is their website, they may have suppliers listed.

Oh...I Just Love Blogging

Welcome to my very first blog post!

I love so many things and I really like to talk about and share things that I like and love and I feel that my audience of friends and family is not enough to share my excitement over different things and places.

Now what sort of things that I love will I be sharing with you?  Well I will be sharing foods that I like (and love), shops, products, places, websites and blogs....  Anything really as long as I like it.

Why are you really going to care what I love?  Well I don't know really, LOL, but you may be interested to hear what I love and you may find some really really great things or places that you have never heard of before and may find something or somewhere that you will love too.  You may also love something that I blog about too and you can say "Oh... I just love that too"

So who am I?   Well I am Mon and I have just turned 40!  Oh that was such a shock for me and I felt so old that day (and every day since).  I am a mum with one son.  He is a tween and is just growing at a ridiculous pace.  I am sure any Mums with boys will know what I am talking about.  Last year he grew three shoe sizes!!!!  Yes... so that was three new pairs of school shoes last year.

That's enough of an intro, so I will get on with my first "love".  What will it be... I'm not even sure yet.

Thanks for reading along and until next time....
