5 reasons to drink coconut water & a side of me you haven’t seen!

Hi there beautiful!

I hope all of you had a lovely holiday! I whipped up a lil spread for William & Oliver {our lovely care taker & friend}. The menu consisted of the following. 

• Fresh squeezed orange juice
• Young Thai coconuts
• Jackfruit
• Fresh watermelon
• Loquats
• A big salad 🙂
• My special anti-inflammatory guacamole
• Organic salsa
• Baked root vegetables {butternut squash}
• Non-GMO corn tortillas
• Raw chocolate bark

It was a beautiful day with the ocean, Oliver & the doggies!

Today I wanted to share with you my all time favorite way to hydrate! Its with coconut water! Notice that its not one of those white young Thai coconuts! This is do to so many of them being dipped in formaldehyde! Thats right! I avoid them like the plague! Here is why I LOVE to drink coconut water! 

1. It’s high in beneficial magnesium and potassium!
2. It contains copper! An essential mineral you don’t hear about to often that everyone needs!
3. Coconut water contains A LOT of antioxidants to ward off free radicals!
4. Got cytokines? Whats that you ask? Cytokines are compounds (found in coconut water) that slow the aging process and have been known to fight off cancerous cells.
5. Its a sweet treat thats actually beneficial and low cal!

I hope this article entices you to begin drinking more coconut water! Just be sure and get it from a reputable source! I never trust a tetra pac or a white coconut unless I’m in the Caribbean!

 Love the Mexican coconuts!

Mini detox getaway in Mexico:)

 

I love this photo! It was taken the other morning in Mexico when I had just woke from an amazing two person massage! I was standing in a doorway when the man I adore looked at me and said “you look so beautiful Andrea, I love you with no make up on and your messy hair”. He took the photo and I fell deeper for him??? 

I’m not just falling in love…I’m falling into everything that is true, real and honest. I’m falling into what I’ve prayed for my entire life. #‎thisishappiness

Yes Louis (my furry husband) and I packed our bags and went off for a weekend of R&R in beautiful Mexico! I think the photos below say it all! 

 

Waking up on the water:) 

 

 

I was blessed to have a hot bath drawn for me by candle light!

While in mexico my friend prepared me a juice that was SO INCREDIBLE it reminded me of a “skin tonic” juice I designed for a client of mine! Check my last blog entry on http://www.thehealthyhaven.net for that recipe!
