So long, summer! It was great while it lasted. Refreshing coconut water doesn’t have to just exist within a tropical backdrop though. With the winter months heading our way, stay warm with these three hot coconut drinks ideas for enjoying Cocobella.
Coconut Water Hot Chocolate
Try this deliciously indulgent and easy to make hot chocolate with a healthy coconut water twist from The Diva Dish. We love her trick of subtracting milk for coconut water, providing a great source of electrolytes and potassium.
