Coconut Kiwi Morning

Coconut water gives this a mild sweetness, and kiwi adds little bursts of green tartness. The extra cold water keeps it lighter than a juice blend. Mash some of the kiwi so its flavor spreads rather than staying in the fruit pieces. You’ll see seeds, and perhaps a little pulp, which suits this uncomplicated drink. Taste the coconut water first if you’re unsure how sweet the finished glass will be.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Cold water
• 2 oz Coconut water
• 1/2 fruit Kiwi

Make it

1. Add the fruit and herbs to a glass. Gently press soft fruit or herbs to release their flavor.
2. Stir in the juice, any optional salt or sweetener, and the water. If using sparkling water, add it last and stir once.
3. Add ice if you like. Let infused water stand for 5 minutes for a fuller flavor.

Benefits

Coconut water · a potassium contribution

Beside kiwi, coconut water offers a little potassium, used by your body for maintaining normal fluid balance, as well as a light coconut sweetness.

A different side of kiwi

There is a bright, tart fruit flavor from the measured kiwi in the coconut water mixture, giving that ingredient a place without drowning out the other flavors.
