Here on my blog, I tend to talk a lot about food, health, weight loss, the good and the bad of something and tips and tricks. I rarely talk about drinks. The one main drink that I have weekly is kombucha. Kombuchas are filled with probiotics the kind that is great for gut health. Probiotics are producing a lot of buzz for good reason: Populating your gut with these beneficial bacteria is essential for maintaining a healthy immune system, proper brain function, clear skin, and a functioning digestive system. While many of us choose to get our daily dose of probiotics from foods, such as yogurt and kimchi, kombucha is a solid and oft-overlooked go-to.
"Diet"? Well, today I talk about some of my favorite flavors of kombucha that are low in sugar and great tasting that features bold flavors coming from fruit, herbs, and spices that help balance the beverage’s natural acidity.
Looking to swap your morning cup of Joe? GT’s new Koffee kombucha, crafted with green and black teas, cold brew, vanilla and almond extracts, and two billion CFUs of gut-healing probiotics. For just six grams of sugar per serving, you’ll be happy you made the switch from your daily latte to this java-infused sip. Before you crack open a bottle, GT recommends tilting it back and forth instead of shaking it to evenly distribute the sediment.
I'll be honest this wasn't my favorite. I didn't like the aftertaste and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Everyone has different flavor palette so you may like it. If you try it or have tried it comment and let me know what you think about the flavor.

The (arguably) healthiest sister of the famous family hydrates with kombucha for good reason. This ginger-lemon flavor strikes a balance between sweet and tart while surprising you with a subtle kick in every sip thanks to cold-pressed juices.

What Is Kombucha? Kombucha is a probiotic drink that is concocted by fermenting sweetened tea (usually a blend of green and black teas) with a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast, also known as SCOBY. Concerned about the added sugars? Kombucha requires a dash of the sweet stuff because the yeast feeds on the sugar in order to ferment the mixture. The amount of sugar present in kombucha will continue to reduce the longer it is left to ferment. After the cooled sweet tea is mixed with SCOBY, The brew takes about eight days to ferment until it can be bottled and spiked with flavor. After that, the brew is left to ferment at room temperature again for about three more days. The building of the pressure in the bottle causes the kombucha to become more carbonated.
