According to an article on CNN.com on 8/5/11, the nutritional content of this brand does not live up to what is on the lable.
"Researchers at ConsumerLab.com tested the sodium, potassium, magnesium, and sugar content of three leading brands of coconut water, and they found that only one, Zico Natural, contained the stated amount for all four ingredients.

The sugar and potassium content in the other two brands, Vita Coco and O.N.E., also matched the label. But the amounts of sodium and magnesium--two nutrients key to hydration--were as much as 82% and 35% lower, respectively, than the listed amount."

My daughter, living and working in DC this summer, introduced me to this product while home for a visit. She encouraged me to give the plain version (just pure coconut water) a chance first, and by the second container, I understood the amazing qualities of this drink. I felt so refreshed, hydrated, and healthy! I later tried the kind with pineapple, which is also delicious, but I think the plain is more effective and purely refreshing when really hot, tired and thirsty, while the sweeter fruit infused version will be amazing as part of a cocktail. Can't wait for 5:00!

This has been my favorite brand of coconut water of the ones I've tried. They use real fruit juice for flavoring, as well as it tastes good.

We tried the smaller size, and they just aren't large enough to get enough water at the gym, and are not resealable.

Things I like about this:

* Perfect size for an hour long gym routine
* Resealable cap(smaller one lacks this)
* Tasty (Like a pina colada)

Negative

* Box makes it hard to get the last drops- usually end up squishing it up to get the last bit

So great coconut water, perfect size, and cheaper than buying locally at sprouts with the Amazon's 'subscribe and save'!

I like the slight pineapple flavor in this better than the plain coconut water. Good well chilled. Coconut water is supposed to be a healthy drink.

Shipping great and loved product. The boxes are a little tough because there is not a lid if you do not finish. I suggest buy only little ones this way.

I discovered Vita Coco a few months ago. Of the flavors I have tried, I like the Pineapple best. It tastes like a mild pina colada without the alcohol. I love the idea of an all-natural hydrating drink that is low in sugar and high in potassium. Whenever I am hot, thirsty or a little run-down, I find that Vita Coco Coconut Water with Pineapple really quenches my thirst, refreshes me, and gives me a little energy boost without added sugar or any artificial ingredients like the ones in Gatorade and other drinks aimed at balancing electrolytes. An 8-1/2-ounce serving has only 60 calories and 30 mg of Sodium (less than fat-free milk), with 515 mg of Potassium and 180% of the RDA of Vitamin C. It's a little pricey, but if you can buy it on sale with free shipping, it's a great value. Although I have previously purchased it on Amazon, I more recently bought it at GNC during Gold Card Week when there was a free shipping offer and a "buy 2, get 1 free" offer. With a deal like that, it breaks down to less than 65 cents per 8-1/2-oz serving.

Pineapple is hands down my favorite flavor of Vita Coco! It not only serves a great electrolyte replenishing beverage (aka the PERFECT hangover cure) but it can also be made into a pinacolada if you just add some rum :)

I really like this coconut water, but I was surprised that per 17oz box it's the same price at Wegman's. Probably won't be ordering again unless there's some sort of discount.

Heard about this drink from a friend and had to try it. Had one while traveling and loved it!!! I sat on the plane enjoying it...I was thinking, I should bought another one!

I tasted the pineapple flavor yesterday at a friend's cocktail party. She used it to mix with rum to make pina coladas. It complimented the drink so well!! The bottles are really pretty to set up and hand out at a party as well =)

I have been drinking Vita Coco for a while now and usually drink the 100% pure, but I find the flavors to be such a treat (yet still very healthy)! Especially after a long workout.
