We all know that cracking open a chilled coconut water is the ultimate thirst quencher and booster throughout your day to stay energised and hydrated. But did you know this tropical elixir is far more versatile than just a straight-up drink? It’s got a whole lineup of rawsome uses, from smoothies and cooking to, yep, even skincare.
So, if you’ve got a bottle (or let’s be honest, a hoard) of Raw C Coconut Water sitting in your fridge or pantry, here’s how to take your coconut obsession to the next level.
1. The Ultimate Smoothie Booster
Of course we need to start with a coconut water classic, smoothies. It’s a smoothie’s best friend. Naturally sweet, packed with electrolytes, and adds a tropical twist to your blends without overpowering other flavours. Swap out regular water or milk for Raw C Coconut Water in your next smoothie and thank me later…if you haven’t already.
Give this one a go: Blend 1 frozen banana, ½ cup mango, a splash of lime juice, a handful of spinach (trust me!), and 250ml of Raw C Coconut Water for a rawsome tropical green smoothie.
2. Cooking with Coconut Water
Coconut water isn’t just for drinking, it belongs in the kitchen when it’s time to cook! It adds a subtle sweetness and light coconutty flavour to dishes, making it perfect for everything from curries to rice dishes and even pancakes.
Try this out: Use Raw C Coconut Water instead of regular water when cooking rice. It gives it a slightly sweet, tropical flavour that pairs perfectly with a quick stir-fry, grilled fish, or Thai-style curries. Chef’s kiss!
3. A Natural Beauty Hack for Glowing Skin
Who needs fancy cleansers when you’ve got coconut water? It’s naturally hydrating, packed with antioxidants, and gentle on the skin. Dab a little onto a cotton pad and wipe it over your face for a refreshing, skin-loving boost. It can even be used as a mild makeup remover. Or, if you’ve spent too much time in the sun (oops), hydrate your skin from the inside out to help your skin heal from sunburn by drinking an extra glass or two of Raw C coconut water each day.
DIY Glow-Up to experiment with: Mix Raw C Coconut Water with a splash of rosewater, pour it into a spray bottle, and pop it in the fridge for an instant cooling face mist you can make at home. Hello, hydration!
4. Rawsome Ice Cubes
Okay, hear me out. Yes, it’s coconut water ice cubes! Such a simple but often overlooked idea, right?! All you need to do is freeze Raw C Coconut Water into ice cube trays and use them to chill your drinks without watering them down. This is rawsome for iced coffees, mocktails, cocktails or even just to elevate a regular glass of water with an extra refreshing twist.
One for the Rawster Tribe of coconutters: Drop a few coconut water ice cubes into your favourite Raw C Infused Coconut Water (Pineapple, anyone?) for an extra rawsome bevvy.
There you have it, four rawsome ways to use coconut water beyond just cracking open a bottle or can and drinking it straight-up. Whether you’re blending it, cooking with it, or using it to glow up your skincare routine, Raw C Coconut Water is here to keep you hydrated, refreshed, and feeling your best.
So next time you grab one of our Straight-Up Raw C Coconut Water bottles of cans, think beyond the sip. Because coconut water is ready to do it all. What can we say, it’s rawsome!
