To kick off the Canada Day celebrations (and for my fellow American friends, forth of July), I prepared this simple Coconut Lemonade just in time for the BBQ parties happening over the next couple of days. Natural coconut water is a great alternative to plain H2O not only for hydration but it is said to offer other great benefits such as helping with weight-loss efforts, facilitates digestion, reduces blood pressure, and even promotes healthier skin.
I personally love the taste of coconut water, especially from a fresh coconut! But, fresh coconuts are obviously not all that convenient especially in our country, so I opt for the next best option – Thirsty Buddha’s line of Coconut Water products, they are all-natural, gluten free, with zero fat and zero cholesterol. Now, Kyle isn’t all that keen on the natural flavours coconut water offers, therefore, he was actually the inspiration behind this simple beverage recipe. Thanks babe!
Read further to see literally HOW easy it is to prepare a Summer Fresh Coconut Lemonade and chance to win a Thirsty Buddha gift pack!

- 1x can (520 mL) of Thirsty Buddha Coconut Water (I used the Aloe Vera version)

Steps:
Fill Pitcher with one tray of ice / Mix in coconut water and lemonade / Squeeze fresh lemon juice / Add blueberries / Serve over ice and enjoy!

I love the taste of coconut water. It’s very refreshing.
Have used coconut water in some smoothies & also as a replacement for water in baking especially for cakes…just adds that little extra flavour.
Thanks @mylittlesecrets.ca
i never used to like coconut water but i found that it would have to be a certain brand that i like and thirsty buddha is one that i love!
I have only had it once from an Asian supermarket and it was very chunky.
I enjoy coconut water. I find it really refreshes me without adding too much sugar to my diet.
