Coconut water is simply the water from inside young, green coconuts (not to be confused with calorie-rich coconut milk that comes from water and flesh of a mature coconut). It has become quite the trendy beverage recently and has been touted as everything from a natural sports drink to a hangover cure. Let’s take a look at what a one cup serving of coconut water has to offer:

  • Electrolyte replacement: The minerals Magnesium and Potassium play an important role in your body’s fluid balance and one cup contains 15% of your daily value (DV) of magnesium and 17% DV of potassium.

  • Low calorie: Coming in at 45 calories, it’s not as low as water (0 cal) but better than soft drinks or juice (100+ cals).
 
  • Fiber: 11% DV
 
  • Vitamin C: 10% DV

  • Protein: 1.7g

  • No sugars, no dyes: Most electrolyte-heavy sports drinks contain sugar or artificial sweeteners and colors. Coconut water usually has none...but be sure to check the ingredients for added sugar.

    Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years.   My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday.  Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change.   Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds.  I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons.  Something was missing.  I was thin, but I wasn't fit.  I wasn't healthy.  I could feel it in my insides.  I was 136 pounds and a size 8.  Something didn't add up.   I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods.  90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4). 
     
    Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it.  I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health.  My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

    December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born.  Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you.   Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN.  Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose. 

    Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business.  Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at amanda@simplypreppedmeals.com
