Vita Coco Coconut Water — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Vita Coco Coconut Water by Vita coco TREAT — score 45/90.

Mostly real coconut water, but it's got added fructose and sits at fruit-juice sugar levels, so it's a hydrating sip, not a health drink.

Why this verdict

• Added fructose on top of coconut water's own natural sugars
• Fruit-juice-level sugar, not a calorie-free hydrator
• Short, clean list with no artificial additives or colors
• Real electrolytes (potassium) are a genuine plus

Ingredients (3)

• Coconut water (99%) (safe) — Real coconut water, a natural source of potassium and other electrolytes; carries its own natural sugars though.
• Fructose (<1%) (moderate) — Added sugar used to standardize sweetness; small amount but it pushes an already sugary drink further.
• VITAMIN C (safe) — Added ascorbic acid; harmless and acts as a mild antioxidant, though a marginal nutritional add.
