Light, refreshing and nutritious, this will be your favorite summer beverage.  It’s packed with anti-inflammatory properties and electrolytes too.

Coconut Water Ginger Lemonade

Back to reality for the Kellys…

We spent last week in Florida visiting family and it was amazing.  No schedules, no freezing temperatures, just warm weather, sunshine and family.  It was a vacation that we all really needed.

One day, we went out for lunch and I ordered a Coconut Water Lemonade at a restaurant we went to on the beach.  I am not a huge fan of coconut but it sounded so refreshing (and healthy) so I decided to give it a try.

It was amazing! I knew I wanted to recreate it when I got back to NJ and share it with you guys.  I added some ginger to mine (ginger is an amazing anti-inflammatory) and of course, chopped mint. This will be my favorite drink this summer, I just know it.

Add whatever sweetener you’d like, I only made this twice so far, once with raw honey and the other with coconut nectar.  They both were incredible, just remember if you use the raw honey it will no longer be vegan.  Use whatever sweetener you’d like! I bet stevia would also work well in this too.

  1. Hi Lauren, this sounds wonderful and I was wondering where you buy coconut nectar? I’ve never looked for it and don’t know if I have to go to a specialty store or the regular grocery market. Also, how fine do you need to grate the ginger, once again something I’ve never bought or used? I have kidney stones and am always mixing up lemonade or squeezing lemon slices in my water. I love coconut so anything that mixes those two things together and will help getting extra fluid in me is always a plus.Thanks for your help!

    • Hi Susan! You can use whatever sweetener you’d like! I bought coconut nectar at whole foods and online at amazon. I like to grate my ginger very fine. You can easily buy ginger root at any grocery store. I hope that helps! And I hope you enjoy the lemonade 🙂
