At our Grounded Villa, nestled in the heart of the Sunshine Coast hinterland, coconut water has become more than just a drink, it’s part of our everyday rhythm.
Whether we’ve just stepped out of an icy plunge, finished a session in the sauna, or the kids are flying around the yard with muddy feet and fruit in hand, there’s always a chilled bottle of CocoCoast close by.
We’ve been giving our boys coconut water since they were little. For us, it’s about setting them up with habits that hydrate properly, not the sugary stuff. To this day, it’s the only sweet drink you’ll find in our fridge, and for good reason.
No sugary processed chaos, just clean, natural hydration straight from the source. And if you’re someone who still craves the fizz, CocoCoast has a range of lightly sparkling options to scratch that itch, without the nasties.
As the founder of Grounded Ginger, my personal brand, I share my journey through wellness and cold exposure, teaching all walks of life how to make cold plunging safe, affordable, and easy to do at home.
My bread and butter (or should I say, coconut with a hint of ginger) is showing people how to convert a chest freezer into their own DIY Ice Bath. And yep, it's totally safe, if you follow my method.
As an accredited Cold Exposure Guide, safety and education are at the core of what I do. I’ve now guided over 10,000 humans through building their own ice bath setups and learning how to practice cold exposure in a way that’s not just safe, but truly transformative.
One of the biggest things I teach? Hydration is non-negotiable.
After a proper contrast therapy session (Cold & Heat Exposure Combo), you lose minerals, and electrolytes. Replenishing with the right stuff matters. And for us, CocoCoast is the go-to. It’s pure, smooth, and real. You can feel the difference instantly. And with so many real fruit flavours, there’s something for every taste.
Now, my favourite? Ginger.
Not just because of the red curly hair or my 3 Ginger Lads (though, let’s be honest, it fits), but because it’s hands-down the most refreshing drink I’ve ever had. That Ginger zing with the chilled coconut… it hits the spot every single time.
I’m also a fan of the Natural Coconut flavour, because I can put my own twist on it. Scroll down for my go-to hydration recipe.
As for the rest of the fam?
Our boys are mixing it up with Chocolate, Watermelon, and yep… Ginger. My wife, Katrina, is all about Passionfruit and Lychee. It’s become a bit of a ritual in our home and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
