Vita Coco Drinks Review

Summer is here, and that means little ones playing outside in the heat, and needing lots to keep them hydrated and in tip top condition to play another day. It can be hard to convince them to drink water, and while juice and fizzy drinks are OK once in a while, they aren't ideal every single day, so it isn't always easy to find a healthy alternative to give them.

Recently, Vita Coco were kind enough to send me a few samples of their brand new range of kids drinks. The big difference between Vita Coco and normal juice box drinks is that Vita Coco is all natural, and all healthy! It's made with the pretty unusual ingredient of coconut water, and flavoured with nothing else but natural fruit juices. No sugar, no additives - nothing nasty goes in to them at all, making them the perfect refreshment for your little people during the hot days, to keep them hydrated and happy.
We tested out the Mango and Pineapple flavour, and the Apple and Blackcurrant flavor. The little juice pack is a great shape and size for popping in a lunch box, or to take on a picnic, and the packaging is lovely and bright.
We grabbed one of each as we were heading out in the car, and tested them on the way to Jacob's 3rd birthday party. I am not a huge fan of any apple and blackcurrant flavoured drinks, so I left that one to Simon who said it was pretty tasty, and finished it in the 15 minute journey. The mango and pineapple was for me then, and for something which is flavoured just with natural ingredients, the flavours really came through strongly! The mango and pineapple were the strong taste, and then the coconut water left a sweet little aftertaste. It was really refreshing and thirst quenching, and would be a perfect addition to any fridge this summer.
