Go, Go, Go with Cocogo Review

July 29, 2013 by Julie @RunWalkRepeat


Disclosure ReviewI have issues but don’t we all?  My issues are with hydration – especially when I run long distance or for an hour or more because I sweat….I sweat ALOT.   Normally, my go to beverage after water is coconut water.

I have been wondering if there was an all natural product powder out there for on the go similar to sports drinks without the dyes and corn syrup and still get the electrolytes and sodium I get in my coconut water. When I workout I want to replenish the water and minerals lost while keeping my electrolytes in balance so I don’t get sick because trust me, been there done that and its NO fun.

Enter Cocogo  – Real Fruit Hydration On-The-Go….. a 100% All Natural and Gluten Free powder I had read about on another blog that I was VERY interested in trying.

Here’s the product in a nutshell from the makers: Cocogo is a new premium sports drink made with real fruit and coconut water in stick pack. It tastes better because it’s all-natural and isn’t overly sweet. Not only do people prefer the taste, they credit Cocogo for steady energy, no muscle cramps, being easy on the stomach, and preventing “the bonk.” And when you compare Cocogo to other sports drinks, you’ll see the proof.

Cocogo comes in 3 flavors – and I got to try them all:
  • Raspberry Passion Fruit
  • Grape
  • Lemon Lime
You can see the freeze dried fruit bits in there.  Pretty powder.
Using the “pick your mix chart” as a guide, pour  2 , 3 or 4 packs in your water depending on your hydration and workout intensity needs.    I loved the taste of all the flavors though I think the Raspberry Passion Fruit was my favorite.  I never noticed any weird aftertaste that  I can get with other sport drinks.  It quenched my thirst without being too sweet.  I love that Cocogo realizes we all have different needs. As I train for the runDisney’s Wine & Dine Half Marathon, most runs I will be fine with 2 packets, but as I get up there in my miles I can see myself using more. Plus come race day, I will be able to pull out my packets and use what worked for me during my training.

A Pint O Raspberry Passion Fruit, one packet so incredibly easy to open, no scissors necessary

I gave Cocogo powder a try this past week on my training runs.  Hands down the easiest opening packet ever – important for those of us who don’t carry scissors when we run.  I tried it pre-run for fuel, post run  AND I also sipped it during one run to see if it upset my stomach in any instance. NO IT DID NOT!   The Cocogo served me QUITE well.   Its hot and humid this time of year in Georgia and I did not notice ANY signs of dehydration.

If you do not like coconut water and the thought of the taste of this powder scares you, yes I know you are out there, I urge you to try this product.  It does NOT taste at all like the 100% coconut water I love that many of my friends don’t like.  You are getting the benefits and its yummy!

Whether an elite ultramarathoner or just a middle of the pack middle aged interval runner like me – or anywhere in between, this is a GREAT product!  Want to save on your purchase. As a product ambassador I can help you save.

    It is hard for me to drink coconut water, however I adore it to stay hydrated so might cherish an item without the taste 🙂

    I’m kind of scared of this because I have a coconut aversion in general. But I have heard so many good things about coconut water that I think I might have to give it a try. Raspberry Passion Fruit sounds yummy.

    • Julie Franklin says

      July 31, 2013 at 4:09 pm

      I don’t taste it at all….the #1 ingredient is Cane Sugar, followed by coconut water so I think it helps with those like who who are not fans of coconut. Def worth a try Suzanne! Good luck!

    • Julie Franklin says

      July 30, 2013 at 9:52 pm

      I LOVE them all…..but the Rasp was quite delish. Its my new favorite running thing! GREAT for travel!

    • Julie Franklin says

      July 30, 2013 at 9:48 pm

      Its its tasty….one 2 or 3 packets! I mean they were all way better than the leading sports drink found at the supermarket!

    It is hard for me to drink coconut water, but I love it to stay hydrated so would love a product without the taste 🙂

    • Julie Franklin says

      July 30, 2013 at 3:10 am

      Good luck…I think its worth a try. Really tastes nothing like just plain old coconut water! It does contain sugar, pure cane sugar, so that helps I think. But its not too sweet.

  19. AuburnGirl says

    July 29, 2013 at 2:50 pm

    Raspberry PassionFruit 🙂

    • Julie Franklin says

      July 30, 2013 at 9:47 pm

      yep, its pretty awesome. Did you try the other flavors? they are good too, but LOVE this one too.

    • AuburnGirl says

      July 31, 2013 at 1:41 pm

      I’ve tried grape. It wasn’t too bad.

    I’ll go with Raspberry PassionFruit. (Grape isn’t my thing…too much Dimeatapp as a kid.)

    • Julie Franklin says

      July 30, 2013 at 3:12 am

      I do believe it will be your favorite flavor too then! Good luck!

  23. Jennifer Marcum says

    Most interested in Grape…maybe because I like grape flavored Nuun. The raspberry passion fruit sounds interesting too.

    • Julie Franklin says

      July 29, 2013 at 1:07 pm

      Good luck Jennifer! The grape was good!
