Giveaway! Cocogo: Real Fruit Hydration On-the-Go

Happy Tuesday everyone!

I’m back this week participating in The Skinny on Health‘s Fit Tip Tuesday blogger party, and today there’s also a giveaway involved! Fit Tip Tuesday Button

One of my #1 health tips is to make staying hydrated a top priority. We all know that drinking water is important, and here are a few reasons why:

Drinking water…

  • Helps with alertness
  • Prevents headaches and fatigue
  • Keeps dry skin at bay
  • Improves performance during exercise or activity
  • Helps to control appetite

During exercise, dehydration can cause a slower reaction time, decreased coordination and endurance, higher heart rate, and impaired concentration – no thanks! – so I always make sure to be properly hydrated before I start exercising, and to frequently sip water while I’m working out.

I’ve mentioned it on the blog before, but I’m like a camel when it comes to drinking water. I require a lot of water throughout the day to keep my thirst quenched, and I pretty much always have a glass or bottle of water nearby. Post-workout, the easy way that I make sure to properly rehydrate is to drink an electrolyte drink.

Cocogo-1

Recently Cocogo sent me some of their real fruit hydration on-the-go packets to try out. Made from real freeze-dried fruit, coconut water, and monk fruit, Cocogo’s sports drinks replenish the body with sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, and are also a good source of Vitamin B12, C, and D3, just to name a few.

Cocogo offers their drinks in convenient little packets and comes in grape (my favorite!), lemon lime and raspberry passion fruit.

Cocogo-5

My overall impression is that Cocogo’s hydration drinks add a little kick to water while providing a lot of electrolyte benefits. The hydration packs are not overly sweet, but more like a subtle addition of flavor to plain old water.

Cocogo-2

I’ve been adding a packet to a small cup of water at night, particularly after my evening workouts when I feel like I need something to replenish what my body lost during hard workouts.

Cocogo-4

The folks at Cocogo were nice enough to offer to send a box of their sports drinks to one lucky reader, so now it’s giveaway time! If you’d like to win some Cocogo, enter the giveaway with any or all of the ways below…

1.) Simply leave a comment below telling me which flavor you’re most interested in trying – grape, lemon lime or raspberry passion fruit.

2.) Follow Foodie Loves Fitness on Instagram.

3.) Follow Foodie Loves Fitness on Twitter.

4.) Tweet about the giveaway with a link (something like, “@foodiemtfitness is giving away @drinkcocogo electrolyte drinks! –> http://wp.me/p2Vzsi-2bO”).

Please leave a separate comment for each way of entry. Also, if you already follow me on social media, leave a comment telling me so!

The giveaway is open to U.S. residents only. I will randomly select a winner next Tuesday, Feb 25. 

Also, if you shop at Cocogo, you can use the code 40COCOGO at checkout to get 40% off, or use the code FRSH4COCOGO for free shipping.

Spread the love

We’ll be kicking off our week of family birthdays with my wonderful husband turning the big 4-0! 

Something that intrigued me about Adam when I met him 20 years ago was that he seemed serious & quiet, but then would unexpectedly say something super witty or do something silly that cracked me up… & his serious-with-a-side-of-goofball personality remains true to this day (case in point: this video montage 😂)

After all, they say to marry the one who makes you laugh — and I, for one, highly recommend it❣️ Here’s to hoping the next 40 years are full of many more amazing adventures & accomplishments!

⭐️ A delicious dinner @amedroscafe 
⭐️ Making friends with stray cats.. so many friendly cats! 🐈 As a huge animal lover, I adore that the city seems to take good care of its strays.. This is the first place I’ve ever been where they have vending machines to buy food for stray animals!

When I was newly pregnant with Camryn before we knew her gender, I had a vivid dream that I was picnicking with a little blonde girl in front of the Eiffel Tower. I woke up and told my husband, “Guess what? We’re having a girl!”

We got Camryn a passport at 5 months old with the idea that we’d visit Paris later that year and turn my literal dream into a reality. But then, COVID hit a few weeks later.

By the time we’d be comfortable traveling to Europe, we instead were selling our house in New England and traveling around the U.S. full-time.

We had adventures in plenty of other amazing places, but Paris remained a bucket list item.

…until now! Our picnic in Paris as a family of three may have happened a few years later than planned, but it was a bucket list item that was exactly how I’d pictured, perhaps even better.

It was such a magical evening staring at the Eiffel Tower, sipping champagne, and noshing on local food that we’d nabbed at shops around town ✨🥂

— all the while, laughing & soaking up the night with our wonderful little girl. 💗

When I was newly pregnant with Camryn before we knew her gender, I had a vivid dream that I was picnicking with a little blonde girl in front of the Eiffel Tower. I woke up and told my husband, “Guess what? We’re having a girl!”

We got Camryn a passport at 5 months old with the idea that we’d visit Paris later that year and turn my literal dream into a reality. But then, COVID hit a few weeks later.

By the time we’d be comfortable traveling to Europe, we instead were selling our house in New England and traveling around the U.S. full-time.

We had adventures in plenty of other amazing places, but Paris remained a bucket list item.

…until now! Our picnic in Paris as a family of three may have happened a few years later than planned, but it was a bucket list item that was exactly how I’d pictured, perhaps even better.

It was such a magical evening staring at the Eiffel Tower, sipping champagne, and noshing on local food that we’d nabbed at shops around town ✨🥂

— all the while, laughing & soaking up the night with our wonderful little girl. 💗

Do you remember when you truly realized that the world is wide and you’ve only experienced a speck of it? 🌎

For me, it was the eye-opening opportunity of a college study abroad program in amazing Sicily. I fell in love with Italy, and the experience made me realize that I wanted to prioritize traveling and living in different places when I became a “real adult” (or in other words, when I graduated the following year). 

Getting to return to the charming town of Taormina nearly two decades later with my family was a dream. 

I returned to Sicily in a different phase of life: Older — I’ve almost doubled in age! Wiser. A mom. A wife. 

Yet, still wide-eyed, always up for an adventure, and filled with wonder at the beauty of this world. 

Different, but the same. 

Taormina is still stunning, bustling with more tourists and more fame than I remembered thanks to things like “White Lotus” and Dolce & Gabbana fashion shows (one was happening while we were in town). 

And so, I found Taormina herself to also be different, but the same — and definitely still a magical place ✨

Obsessed with my @airbnb view of both the sea & Mount Etna 😍 10/10 even though every walk home is a sweaty glute workout!
