Cocobella Kids Review

We're always on the look out for new lunchbox ideas and products for kids around here.

Boredom and kids, when it comes to food and drinks, go and in hand and I am forever striving to stay on top of the demands of the little people in this department.

As soon as any new product hits supermarket shelves, you can bet my kids are literally climbing them to reach it, begging for a chance to try out the very latest. Call it advertising, peer pressure or just plain desperation for a new taste, they all want a piece of it yesterday!

Cocobella Coconut Water is a product that has been around for a while now and is no stranger to our shopping trolley. We buy this refreshing drink regularly and it frequently features in our smoothies. With zero fat content and the natural benefits of electrolytes, we think it's a pretty great tasting drink for adults.

What you may not know, is that Cocobella have recently introduced Australia's first range of coconut waters especially for kids to enjoy and the younger members of our family have keenly embraced the fun new taste. Meet Cocobella Kids Coconut Water and Juice:

These little thirst quenching treats come in 200ml serves and are packed full of natural goodness. Each individual serve of Cocobella Kids Coconut Water & Juice contains 70% coconut water with the addition of 30% natural juice and nothing else, making them a lighter choice for kids in today's health-obsessed world.

"Ahhh!"

In case you're wondering just what coconut water actually is, it is the juice from the inside of young green coconuts. It is low in calories thanks to its naturally occurring lower sugar content, (compared to popular juices) and it contains zero fat. Coconut water is also rich in electrolytes making it a superb choice for preventing dehydration in little people. It is really proving itself as an ideal Summer drink!

Reasons we love Cocobella Kids Coconut Water & Juice:

Small serves: At 200ml each, there's no wastage. They're neither too big nor too small. Cocobella packs into lunchboxes perfectly leaving room for food too! Chill each serve overnight and they can help keep the kids' lunches cool for the day.

Cocobella Kids contains no added colours or flavours.

There are no additives or preservatives within, just natural goodness and flavour.

No added sugar - only pure coconut water and juice.

Naturally occurring electrolytes (such as potassium), work effectively to prevent dehydration in kids.

Cocobella Kids complies with school canteen requirements.

Cocobella Kids is a drink suitable for all ages, from toddlers to teens, making it a quick and simple purchase at the supermarket too.

Long life Tetra (BPA-free) packaging ensures you can keep a fresh supply of Cocobella Kids in your pantry year-round for convenience.

Cocobella Kids tastes great! (In my own opinion as well here - I may have tasted just a couple!)

Cocobella Kids is sold in packs of three (RRP $3.49) and is available in two flavour options: Tropical Island (containing mango puree, pineapple and grape juice) and Apple Berry Breeze, (apple and blackcurrant juice).

My kids have a preference for the Tropical Island flavour over the Apple Berry Breeze at this point in time but that's just because there's currently a choice on offer in the pantry! I know as soon as the Tropical option is gone, they will swoop on the Apple Berry flavour because that's just how they operate. Do your kids do that too?!

Gulp!
