This is a refreshing, lightly dreamcicle flavored drink. But it doesn't taste like it's so lightly flavored that it's missing something. It's a sports drink because coconut water is much better at replenishing than gatorade, powerade, or any of those other type of drinks, not to mention the lack of sugars in this. Agave is the sweetener which is low glycemic, so no blood sugar spike here, which is what you want. Great for anyone doing a lot of sweating! And if you aren't, it just tastes good and is good for you, so, nothing but beneficial!
Makes 2 cups
16 oz coconut water
1/2 TBS Orange Juice
1/4 tsp sea salt or real salt (more minerals!!)
2 tsp to 1 TBS agave (to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract
If you like Dreamcicle's then you will enjoy this drink like I did. I couldn't even detect the coconut water as part of the taste.
