2016 seemed to be all about Coconut Water and the trend seems to be still be going strong but even though I am partial to the odd carton I am hoping that True Nopal Cactus Water is going to take off in a big way!
I first came across it at the Vegan Life Live Expo and have been obsessed ever since, sadly the only place I have been able to get my hands on some is at my local Waitrose, which is almost 3 miles away!
The best thing for me about cactus water is the taste.
It isn't a flavour that you need to get your head around like the first few times you have coconut water, with the cactus water having a fruitier taste,.
If you like the taste of fruit flavoured water then you will more than likely enjoy cactus water.
Cactus water is also less than half the calories of coconut water so if you are you an avid fan of coconut water and wanting an effortless way to cut some calories cactus water may be the way to go.
Cactus water seems to have a little bit of everything in it with 250ml containing 15% of your RDA of vitamins C and A.
16% of your calcium.
20% of your RDA if manganese and 13% of your magnesium.
A splash of your of all your B vitamins apart from B12.
7% of your iron and 5% of your zinc and 1.9g of fibre.
Cactus water does also have potassium but no where near as much as coconut water.
Cactus water also helps lower blood sugar, blood pressure and is anti inflammatory.
If you are near a Waitrose then pop in and treat yourself to some delicious True Napal Cactus Water!
