If you do not have time to squeeze oranges, you can also buy 500ml freshly squeezed orange juice with pulp from the supermarket. Do not use regular orange juice, as it usually contains added sugar and preservatives.
Coconut water is considered to be isotonic and is therefore perfectly suited as a sports drink. Together with the oranges this makes up for perfect pre and post workout energy source as well as supplying you with potassium and glycogen. Coconut water is the water from the unripe green coconut and is not to be confused with coconut milk, which is extracted from the pulp of the ripe coconut. Meanwhile, nearly every supermarket has coconut water in their sortiment.
