AceOfSwords Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Hey All, I am getting ready to start a Whole 30, but still in the planning/getting past upcoming events stage. And I was wondering what do people do with the leftover coconut water when making their own coconut cream from coconut milk (as outlined on page 178 of The Whole 30 book)? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennR Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I don't have the Whole30 book. Is this just refrigerating coco milk and skimming off the cream on top? If so, I just toss the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Yep, I toss it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceOfSwords Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 Thanks for the info. I was hoping there would something to use the water with, but oh well. I sometimes go through phases where I a really dislike wasting anything. And GlennR, that is exactly the trick I was referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandora Black Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 DRINK IT. Coconut water is low in calories and really good for you. Has natural electrolytes. Great way to refuel after a workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great way to refuel after a workout. The water in the tin tends to be just that - water - used to combine the thick & thin 'creams' produced from the grated coconut meat. Coconut water on the hand is the liquid found inside the fruit - this is the one with the natural electrolytes. It's kind of like a light fruit juice though and we'd recommend it only for those involved in endurance sports, or those whose work leaves them prone to dehydration.

AceOfSwords Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Thanks for the info. I think I will either end up tossing that or using it in a soup. Shame summer isn't a really good time for soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soozyq Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Since I have only been using the coconut cream in my coffee, when I get to the water, I just pour it in the cup with the rest. I am personally not fond of coconut water by itself , but in something else the flavor just blends in, and it is supposed to be good for you.

GazelleT0703 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I freeze mine in ice cube trays to save for when I have an occasional green smoothie after my Whole30! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
