Harmless Harvest Coconut Water + Giveaway!

November 7, 2014

Let’s talk coconut water

Harmless Harvest is the best commercially sold coconut water I have tasted. Bold statement, isn’t it? And for those of you who have been long-time followers of Honestly Fitness, you know my philosophy is to let you make your own decision based on the facts that I provide for you. But being someone who is a bit of a coconut water snob (come on, I grew up in Thailand after all!), I can happily say that Harmless Harvest is one of the best coconut waters on the market that I have tasted so far. Most commercial coconut waters have a weird and unflavorful taste which just makes me sad. I hate to think that people will get a negative image over coconut water from trying some of the unpleasant coconut waters that are on the market.

I wanted to hold this giveaway so that I could let two lucky people experience for themselves why this is the best coconut water on the market [details at the end of the post].

Who are Harmless Harvest?

Not only do they make the best tasting (raw and organic) coconut water out there, but Harmless Harvest have an ecosystem based business model. What does this mean? This means that Harmless Harvest “respects each person and community contributing to the creation and purchase of a product”. They are committed to sustainable farming, environmental conservation, supporting research and development for better foods and sourcing,  and the community at large. They are a unique company and one that I fully support for their ethical efforts and their incredible coconut water.

You can read more about them by visiting their website: http://www.harmlessharvest.com

What makes the coconut water so great?

Most coconut waters are from concentrate, whereas Harmless Harvest coconut waters are raw and undergo high pressure processing. Harmless Harvest coconut waters undergo high pressure processing to protect the flavor and extend their shelf life. A really quirky aspect of their coconut waters which made me a little hesitant at first was the fact that some are pink! Yeah, you heard right. My first pink coconut water was met with a “Uhh, I’ve never cracked open a coconut to see pink water before …”. But never fear; Harmless Harvest explain that some coconut waters are pink because “some bottles turn pink with time due to varying levels of antioxidants, or phenols, interacting with light”. Does that make sense? Coconut waters in a coconut cannot go pink because they are never exposed to the sun. These coconut waters are stored in a clear bottle which can expose them to sunlight. They are still completely safe to drink and actually rather pretty!

Furthermore, coconut water is extremely healthy for you. They contain many vitamins and minerals including high levels of potassium which is crucial for the proper function of your cells, tissues and organs. It is also low in calories and naturally fat and cholesterol free. I love having coconut water as a sweet and healthy alternative to drinks high in sugar such as soda.

    i tried Harmless Harvest after a trip to Costa Rica lady year. I’ve been a fan ever since! It tastes just like the fresh coconut water I tasted in Costa Rica.

    • Reply Honestly Fitness November 1, 2014 at 9:03 am

      I’ve always wanted to go to Costa Rica! And yes, I agree; harmless harvest does taste just like fresh coconut 🙂
      Good luck x

    I first tried it on our honeymoon in Jamaica and it was amazing! It’s tough to find really good coconut water around me, but I would love to try Harmless Harvest!

    • Reply Honestly Fitness November 3, 2014 at 1:44 pm

      I agree, it definitely is. I feel so lucky to live in San Francisco where I can easily find good coconut water (Harmless Harvest!) in the supermarkets, and get fresh young coconut at restaurants! x

    Yes, I tried another brand of coconut water once but it wasn’t very good. I’m hoping to try Harmless Harvest since everyone seems to like it.

    I’ve never tried coconut water, but I’ve always wanted to. I love coconut, but not sure how I feel about the water! I hear it’s amazing though. 🙂

    • Reply Honestly Fitness November 5, 2014 at 8:09 am

      Oh Tanya, you will be in for a treat if you win. Coconut water that actually tastes like it comes from a coconut is the most subtly sweet taste ever!
      Good luck x

      Haha I agree, some taste so nasty and it makes me sad that people are put off because they’ve tasted a bad one!
