I have missed a lot of things about living on Kauai. Family, Hiking, solitude…. and the coconut water! I used to get gallons of Coconut water from a friend on the East side who would fill up old milk jugs and glass bottles with the totally pure, totally unfiltered water . Served ice cold, there is nothing like it. Coincidentally, it was also perfect for my training. Coconut water is by far the main stop gap between out nutritional deficiencies as well as optimal recovery from training and sweating. I would go as far as to say it is the BEST recovery tool we can use.
