Simple mango drink – a simple yet equally refreshing healthy drink made from a fresh mango peeled and chopped with coconut water.

Are you fedup of drinking your 8 glasses of water a day or maybe you’re just looking to try a drink that’s super hydrating with a difference? Well look no further, as I have the answer to your questions. I present to you, my lovely, faithful readers this simple mango drink. Now the title of this post probably sounds boring and somewhat underwhelming – yeh, yeh, I know!

However, some of the best recipes have the most simplistic titles so don’t sleep on this recipe. In the wonderful world of all things healthy, there’s always a product craze – chia seeds, flaxseed, cacao, goji berries, date sugar,moringa etc… and list goes on and on…almost to the point where you just don’t know how to keep up with it all.

There some particular superfoods that are causing a buzz with its variants and that’s all things coconut – coconut oil, milk, sugar, cream, butter, flour and then we have the water. Keep in mind that the aforementioned has been utilised in the Caribbean for decades, for us it’s second nature. Some of the listed items are overpriced and if you look carefully you will find these same things in a Caribbean grocery store for 1/3 of the price but I digress, that’s for another post.

Mango and coconut water

A fresh juicy mango mixed with coconut water is probably the best drink ever. I know coconut water has an acquired taste but keep in mind I used to hate the taste as a child.

Meanwhile my mom and grandmother would drink the water straight from a young coconut. I grew to love coconut water as I got older, I mean we were always surrounding by it.

What’s in this simple mango drink?

This beverage isn’t my usual smoothie, it’s just a three ingredient drink – no plant based milk is included. All you need is a humongous ripe mango, fresh coconut water and a thumb sized piece of ginger. All of these ingredients are highly nutritious, packed with fibre to aid digestion (reduce acid reflux) and low in fat.

Simple mango drink is LOW IN FAT!!!

Yes, that’s right ladies, it’s FAT FREE – just imagine sipping on this drink in the middle of Tahiti, sun kissed with your bikini on without having to worry about gaining an extra few pounds or fellas fancy drinking this after some hardcore strength training at the gym.

As coconut water contains essential minerals which are lost during a strenuous workout, the five essential electrocytes are replenished (magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, and sodium).

Even athletes are beginning to endorse coconut water as it has the ability to prevent cramps – a common affliction in the world of sports and fitness. I like to drink coconut water more during the summer because of how hydrating it is and also as a post workout beverage mixed with my protein powder.

This anti inflammatory trio beverage has the ability to stabilise high blood pressure and ease inflammation in the joints. With so many health benefits, you would have to be crazy not to sample this mango drink. Let’s say cheers to longevity through healthy drinking, now more overpriced energy drinks and yes to this healthy, energy boosting alternative.
