Fauxbucha (Mary’s Alternative to Kombucha – Quick, Cheap & Healthy) RECIPE

by | Jun 10, 2017 | Mary's Recipes, Recipes | 0 comments

I love kombucha. But what if it’s not in your fridge? And what if you’re not willing to fork over those hard-earned 5 bucks for a 16 oz bottle? My answer to this vexing issue is: Fauxbucha! This super-easy-to-make concoction tastes like kombucha, offers probiotic pearls, is good for you, and you can make it at a fraction of the price. What are you waiting for?!

INGREDIENTS

16 oz. water

1 thumb-sized chunk of raw ginger

¼ cup apple cider vinegar*

1 tsp honey or a little stevia (you don’t need much!) to taste

 

DIRECTIONS

  1. * Be sure the apple cider vinegar has a “mother” in it to give you some probiotic goodness. Braggs is a brand I recommend.

MARY PURDY, RD, INTEGRATIVE & ECO-CONSCIOUS REGISTERED DIETITIAN

First things first: I love chocolate. I love kale. And I consume them both regularly, but generally not at the same time (although, ask me about my chocolate, berry & kale smoothie!) I also love helping people find easy ways make their body, mind, and life better while also making eco-friendly choices that support the health of our planet.
