Kombucha for Weight Loss Plus Cocktails!

Confession: the extra fizz in my cocktails isn’t sparking water or soda, it’s kombucha which supports my gut healing journey! 

Kombucha is an ancient Chinese drink that was known as the “immortal health elixir.” It has been used for fighting degenerative diseases and illnesses for over 2000 years and is finally growing in popularity. And why not - it makes the BEST mocktail cocktail!  

Kombucha is a type of sweet tea made from a fermented yeast called SCOBY, or a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. SCOBY is sometimes referred to as “the mother and the mushroom” due to its reproductive rate and mushroom-like shape. It is delicious, refreshing, and loaded with benefits.

Kombucha Benefits:

Antioxidant Powerhouse

Kombucha provides a wide variety of healthy antioxidants which boost your immune system and help your body fight disease and illness - yes please!  

Liver detoxification

Got gut bloat? Consuming kombucha may help detoxify your liver which is key in optimal health. A clogged liver = a clogged body. Detox your liver to promote better skin, less bloating, improved digestion, increased energy and more!  

Joint support

Kombucha tea contains compounds like glucosamines that have been shown to improve the health of your joints. Glucosamines increase the hyaluronic acid in your body, which helps protect and strengthen your joints by lubricating them. Kombucha tea may also help relieve joint pain. 

Curb soda cravings

Addicted to the fizz? Kombucha is sweet and carbonated, satisfying the craving for a soda or other unhealthy beverage without the added sugar or calories. 

Probiotic support

The fermentation process makes this drink rich in probiotics which help provide your body with a balance of healthy bacteria. These probiotics can help reduce weight and inflammation and help improve your digestive system. 

Green tea benefits

Kombucha and green tea are composed of the same bioactive compounds and have the same chemical properties, making kombucha similar in benefits to green tea. 

Weight loss

Kombucha may increase your metabolism and help burn calories at a faster rate. Bye-bye stubborn belly fat.
