After running either a race or a normal training run there is nothing better than grabbing a cold drink and cooling down with something that is both rehydrating and refreshing. Though water is often a great option every now and again you can’t help but crave wanting to mix it up a bit. Sugary sports drinks tend not to be the thing for me so when I came across Vita Coco I was immediately hooked. Vita Coco is 100% coconut water and is an ideal way to replenish spent liquids after going for a run.

Vita Coco has 15 times the amount of electrolytes than an average sports drink and will help you get over the post run need for something that both tastes good and re-energizes you quickly and effectively. Since it is all natural, you won’t need to worry about forcing sugary water through your veins and then setting yourself up for the crash that so many sports drinks tend to do.

The original Vita Coco is a great option, but my personal favorite are the Tangerine or the Acai & Pom Vita Coco drinks which infuse a great natural fruit flavor into the coconut water. The Tangerine option is packed with Vitamin C and the Acai & Pom is rich in antioxidants and both are  a great option!

Next time you are in need of a post race refreshment that is all natural and tastes great, grab yourself a Vita Coco!
