We have all heard about the benefits of apples, bananas and avocados. However, there is another fruit that is surprisingly underrated. Can you guess what it is?

Make way for the coconut, a fruit that is irreplaceable in the hearts of tropical islanders.

Most of us are familiar with two types of coconut – the fresh green ones and the ripe brown ones. While ripe brown coconuts are usually consumed for their tasty meat, the young green coconuts are the ones that are packed with the most nutritions. 

Now, what benefits await us underneath the thick husk? 

1. Loads of electrolytes 

Necessary for our bodies to stay hydrated and ensures smooth functioning of our organs. 

2. Low calories 

A great alternative to soft drinks, a cup of pure coconut water only contains 46 calories and is low in sugar. 

3. Reduce chances of obesity 

Pure coconut water increases metabolic rate and improves digestion, reducing fat accumulation in your body. Your body will appear more lean and toned than before. 

4. Rich in Vitamin C 

Necessary for the strengthening of our immune system, reducing the chances of a urinary tract infection, and functions as an antioxidant which helps to prevent diseases and slow down ageing. 

5. Superfood for expecting mothers 

Alleviates morning sickness and increases breast milk supply to fulfill the growing demands of your infant. Coconut also prevents the formation of unsightly stretch marks and increase blood circulation to alleviate swelling. 

After knowing all the benefits coconuts can provide, you don’t have to make a trip to the beach to consume this refreshing goodness! You can now experience the delicious nutty taste conveniently at Mr. Coconut! If you’re lucky, you may also get to see their mascot dancing to the addictive theme song that goes something like: 

“No one gave birth to me, I came from a tree! I’m a coconut, coconut.” 



About Mr. Coconut 




Founded in Singapore 2 years ago, Mr. Coconut prides itself on its freshly made coconut concoctions which comes in 20 delicious flavours. It’s two co-founders, Andrew Cai and Vivian Yeo, recognized the benefits of coconuts and its appealing taste when they tried the famous coconut shake at Klebang, Malaysia. 

Determined for Singapore’s consumers to experience this unique taste, they brought the concept of coconut shake back to our sunny island. In order to provide consumers with high-quality and nutritious beverages, Cai and Yeo insist that all drinks are to be prepared using the flesh or milk of high quality, fresh Thai coconuts. 



After extensive product research, Mr. Coconut is proud to present their new menu which contains an extensive range of 20 drinks! You’re bound to find one that satisfies your taste buds! The brand consists of three range of drinks, namely ‘Bubble coconut drinks’, ‘Coconut fresh juice’ and ‘Coconut shake’.
