Coconut Water vs Milk
February 21st 2010 16:12
So after Madonna announced that she is investing in Brazilian coconut water many are flocking to the stores to buy a case or two.
Before you spend your money let me do a side by side nutritional comparison.
Coconut water: 236mL=1 cup
Calories 46
Fat 0.5g
Sat Fat 0.4g
Carbs 9g
Fiber 2.6g
Protein 2g
Calcium 58mg
1% milk
Calories 110
Fat 2.5g
Sat Fat 1.5g
Carbs 12g
Fiber 0g
Protein 8g
Calcium 330mg
So you get a little more fiber and cut the calories in half, but you also only get 1/4 of the protein and 1/6 of the calcium
So let Madonna have her coconut water I'll stick with cow juice.
