Coconut water meets the sports drink.

You work out, eat well and are hip to all the hottest health trends except one: you don't go loco for coco.

Sure, you've heard about the benefits of coconut water: it's hydrating, loaded with minerals and aids digestion, but the flavor just doesn't do it for you.

Chicagoans Mark and Jon Sider, creators of Greater Than, know exactly how you feel. The brothers loved the healthy properties of coconut water, but didn't like the taste. So they added electrolytes, glucose (6 g per serving) and natural flavors to coconut water to create three low-calorie and fat-free Greater Than varieties: lemon-lime, tropical and orange. 

We picked up a bottle (available only in Chicago or online) on our way to a tough kickboxing class. We found the slightly sweet, sporty taste refreshing and left the gym hydrated and energized.

We love a good workout ade.
