Simple and sweet, this refreshing drink is packed with antioxidant vitamin C and fiber; kiwifruit also provides anti-inflammatory vitamin E and copper, a trace mineral that some research indicates can reduce high blood pressure. Look for electrolyte-filled coconut water (not thick coconut milk) at your natural foods store.
