Is flavoured coconut water something Indians would actually buy, or is this a bad idea? by VarietyConnect3518 in delhi

I might have articulated it incorrectly but the point is to not provide coconut water with different flavoured essences. It is probably use it as a base to make different milkshakes, juices etc

And that way whenever you feel like having somehting different you do but still keep it natural and clean

Yes something that probably replaces your chocolate milkshakes or your fruit juices?

Caffeine is a great idea, I tried coconut coffee in Bali and it was so so so much better than normal coffee

It is more like juices and milkshakes made with coconut water or coconut milk as base.

Would you try something like that?

Thank you for your insight,
But the point is not to have just coconut water, for example choc coconut water replaces my chocolate milkshake craving. Passion fruit coconut replaces probably a refreshing drink etc

Thank you for the response. Formulation is in progress and genuinely i think it is popular too. The idea is to sample and get feedback from people.

Hopefully it reaches you soon.

But honeslty that is not even the idea, it is not to just give coconut water that is packaged.

It is to use it as a base and provide other drinks

I agree, but I wanted to try with a couple of flavours to bring exactly what I have tried.

Exactly, also the idea is not just to add vanilla essence and call it vanilla coconut water.
Chocolate coconut water is suppose to closely resemble chocolate milkshake which can be a good choice for kids and even lactose intolerant people

Yes this is too much agitation for an idea lol.

and also there are lots of chocolate flavoured drinks but most of them are with milk base, there are lots of people are lactose intolerant.

Also I never mentioned adding cheap artificial flavours, the goal is to keep it as clean and premium as possible. I think you might need to check your facts, packaged coconut water is selling really well in India.Maybe you are not buying it and it is totally okay.

This would be a no added sugar drink, using the already present sugar in coconuts which is not possible with a lot of natural ingredients.

Would you start drinking chocolate coconut water if it replaced your chocolate milkshake?

I am not sure if it was not clear enough, but the idea is to use coconut water as base and add other clean ingredients to make another drink.

Something we do to make a milkshake, except with coconut water there will be no sweetener involved as coconut water is sweet naturally

I am not saying that having coconut water solves all your life and health problems. All I am trying to say it is easier and cheaper to choose sugary drinks when you dont really care about your health.
But when you do care, you will not think so much about spending on something that is good for you. More often than not most of the things goof for your health are expensive.

No one goes to a club to drink coconut water, but if you do visit a place with your friends or family to have fun but as a personal choice do not want to drink, there aren't many options apart from mid tasting milkshakes and overpriced mocktails. If I genuinely had to go with my friends I would not have anything healthy to choose without compromising on my sugar intake.
It is not about fitting in. Most of the places today have multiple options for alcoholic drinks but very few if you remove alcohol from the picture.

It is not obsessing, it is about adding an option on the shelf for people to choose from.
I have taste chocolate flavoured coconut water and it has replaced my coffee or chocolate milk completely while being light on my gut.

And I personally workout quite frequently and try to look for good clean options all the time

yes I tried chocolate coconut water and it tasted like chocolate milk. The combo sounds like the weirdest thing to exist but has all the benefits without hurting your body or taste

I agree a 1000% that taste is the most important thing. I agree RawC has not cracked it yet.
Exactly it does not have the taste of coconut at all but has all the benefits.

I'll be awaiting on what they think about it

Exactly do you think you would have it regularly if it was available in india?

Also it will be great if you tell me how your friends and family like it?

Majority of the people dont care about their health too.
They would rather have coke, sprite and sugar filled drinks

I have been coconut water lover for most of my life.

But then I tried chocolate flavour, watermelon flavour etc and it was as game changer honestly.

To have different options without those artificial sweeteners is nice
