I had a coconut at my favourite breakfast spot in Manly, Pure Wholefoods this morning. Get a spoon with yours so when you've guzzled all the water you can get to work on the juicy meat inside. Don't listen to the player haters who say that coconuts are too high in saturated fat; what they didn't tell you is that the fats in coconuts are medium chain fatty acids, which you will barely find in other components of your diet. Medium chain fats go straight to the liver and are totally obliterated there and then, releasing a nice parcel of energy for you to enjoy for the morning. Coconut water is teaming with electrolytes so it's the perfect compliment to an active lifestyle; a natural alternative to a sugary, junky sports drink. Stick a straw in a coconut and see how you feel today.
