Let’s be real — kombucha sounds a bit fancy, but it’s basically fermented tea that’s had a glow-up. And it’s not just hype. This slightly fizzy, tangy drink is loaded with benefits that your body (and your gut) will thank you for.
At Freshly Prep'd, we’re all about real food, real ingredients, and stuff that actually makes you feel good. Kombucha? It’s got a seat at the table.
So… What Actually Is Kombucha?
In short: it’s tea, but make it probiotic. Kombucha is brewed using tea, sugar, and a live culture called a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast). Sounds weird — tastes 🔥.
During fermentation, the sugar gets eaten up by the good bacteria and yeast, turning your tea into a slightly sweet, slightly sour, refreshing drink that’s low in sugar, full of gut-boosting goodness, and super easy to sip on.
Why We Rate It 👇
1. Gut Health = Big Wins
Kombucha is packed with natural probiotics, which help support your gut microbiome. A happy gut means better digestion, stronger immunity, and even improved mood. Yes, your gut and brain are basically besties.
2. Natural Energy Boost
It’s got a small caffeine kick (it is tea, after all), plus B vitamins from the fermentation process — great if you're trying to wean off the four-coffee-a-day life.
3. Immune Support
Because of the antioxidants and live cultures, kombucha gives your body a little extra support — especially during colder months or when life’s just a bit hectic.
4. Low Sugar, Big Flavour
If you’re trying to ditch fizzy drinks but still want something fun to sip, kombucha’s a solid swap. Most brands keep the sugar low, and the natural flavours are banging.
