How To Drink Coconut Juice
Please consume fresh young coconuts only.
And there is only one way I will recommend in drinking coconut juice.
See photo.
Apart from the rule of going fresh, coconut water rapidly loses most of its organoleptic and nutritional characteristics once exposed to air, and begins to ferment. Hence, the best way to drink coconut juice is drink it directly from the coconut. Please do not consume canned or bottled coconut drinks for your health and weight loss program. Also, old coconuts are not drinkable.
Fresh young coconuts are widely and economically available in tropical regions. You may also access imported young coconuts from reliable groceries. If it is not easily available in where you are, here is a link where you can buy fresh young coconuts online: Florida Coconut
Please also make a note as to consume it whenever it is available. In case you are traveling to Thailand, Malaysia, Hawaii, Florida, Brazil or Pacific Islands, be sure to drink as much as you want everyday.

Coconut Juice Recipes
I have personally collected a number of coconut recipes. Two of them are easy to make and extremely refreshing. Have fun while enjoying coconut juice fasting for weight loss and health.
Coconut Sherbet – Yes, you can make your own coconut sherbet if you have an ice cream maker. Simply pour the coconut water into your ice cream maker, close the lid, cover it with ice and churn. You will get a thick, ice cream-type of frozen coconut water that is both delicious and refreshing on a hot summer's day.
Coconut Smoothies - Freeze the coconut water in your ice cube tray and use these ice cubes when you are making your smoothies. Just pop this ice in with your fresh fruit. You may never use regular ice cubes again.
