This summer, familiarize yourself with the word “Kombucha.” Kombucha is a Chinese tea plant…a living culture of beneficial microorganisms. Drinks containing the culture are touted as being able to help restore balance in the body and help support a healthy lifestyle through metabolic balancing and detoxification. You can find a variety of drinks containing Kombucha and some people swear by this health elixir!

GT’s Kombucha and Synergy drinks come in flavors like Cosmic Cranberry, Passionberry Bliss and Gingerade. Some contain 100% raw Kombucha, others are a mix of the culture and all-natural fruit juice. I’ve tried the drinks and find that Kombucha is an acquired taste! It reminds me a bit of vinegar, but the more I drank, the more I liked it. Some people swear by it, claiming it has decreased appetite, improved digestion and cleared skin imperfections. Give it a try and drink to your health. You can find the drinks at health food stores for $3-$4 a piece.
