Move over coconut water, it's time to start sipping on melon juice

Routine is the enemy of adventure. Sure, you’re happy slugging coconut water every day, buzzing on its electrolytes and pretending it doesn’t taste like rainwater and bilge – but you are not living life as it was intended. Life demands experiment; your soul craves the thrill of the new.

The new means melon juice, obviously. It has been declared the new coconut juice by those who know and it is your duty to adapt, as a dedicated follower of food fashions. Chuck the coconut water in the next bin — literally, it’s disgusting — and make your way towards the melon.

Mello is the standard-bearer (mellodrinks.co.uk). It produces raw, fresh melon juice in two different flavours: cantaloupe and watermelon. It does not use heat pasteurisation and there are no added sugars or preservatives.

“Melon is a major superfood and superfruit,” explains Rose Alldean, co-founder of Mello. “Cantaloupe is the ‘beauty fruit’ — it contains beta-carotene, which is good for the skin, hair and nails. Watermelon is an all-round superfruit. It rehydrates you: lots of people say they drink the watermelon version after yoga or a workout as it replaces natural sugars. The L-Citrulline fights inflammation.”
