The jury's still out on the benefits of coconut oil [3]. But coconut water? Still good! Good for your body that is, but not always great on the ol' taste buds. It may aid digestion, replenish electrolytes, and act as a natural hangover remedy [4], but I've never been convinced by its flavour. That was until found myself sipping on Pret A Manger's offering on a preflight hydration quest.

The 100% pure coconut water [5] is naked of preservatives, additives, and fat, and the taste is sweet without the sickly aftertaste I've always associated with rival brands. It's the closest I've come to sipping on a Caribbean coconut, and I'm sold. To the gods of below-average coconut water: I'm not going back, you can't make me.

Pret's Coconut Water retails at £2.79 and is available in stores across the UK.
