Natural hydration – Innocent has cracked it
Innocent has made a fresh-tasting coconut water that it believes is the perfect natural thirst quencher. The brand says it’s particularly thrilled that its product is one of the few on the market that’s made entirely from 100% pure coconut water – no concentrate, sweeteners or anything added at all. While getting the taste just right wasn’t easy, Innocent says its hard work has paid off, resulting in a sweet, refreshing and nutty taste. Innocent Coconut Water will retail in two formats: 1L (RRP €4.49) and 500ml (RRP €2.99).
