I can say with certainty that I will continue to drink coconut water in place of sports drinks, regular water, and gels in the future.
I'd definitely rather drink coconut water than Gatorade. And really, the Gatorade isn't that much cheaper.

mountainpalm – coconut water and coconut milk are two different things. Coconut water is the clear liquid found inside a green (immature) coconut. It's fat-free (or almost fat-free) and high in minerals and other healthful things.

Coconut milk is made by soaking dried coconut (mature coconut) in hot water, then squeezing to remove the liquid. It's high in saturated fat, but — and this will sound hard to believe, given what we've been told — it's actually good for you, not bad.

I need to go clip some of the articles I have on rehabilitating coconut's reputation. What we've been taught about it appears, upon further research, to be simply not true.
