Citrus Cream Kombucha Smoothie

Citrus Cream Kombucha Smoothie.

This smoothie is creamy, and the tanginess of the kombucha and grapefruit perfectly offset the sweetness from the strawberries and mango..

I really think this one might become an all time favorite!Adding kombucha to a smoothie is a brilliant move.

Smoothies, especially morning smoothies, are a perfect way to ingest a lot of the nutrients you need through out the day. And if kombucha is something you know you want to add to your daily diet, adding it to a smoothie is a fun fast way to tick that off your list.

Here is a bit of background on kombucha which you may or may not need, the fermented drink is a black tea with probiotics that occur naturally in the mix. Actually the drink has been around 2000 years, but as you probably have heard, is trending now as a healthy addition to your daily diet.

Experts advise 8 ounces a day to support your gut and immune system with the probiotics the drink contains.

It’s important to choose a quality kombucha, though. Apparently experts don’t advise buying one that says “pasturized” because that means the probiotics are killed off (so why call it kombucha? I don’t know).

And for this recipe, and probably best overall, it is best to avoid those with lots of added sugar.

I provide you in the recipe with a low-sugar brand I know of, but you can read the labels and buy one that is convenient for you. This recipe makes about 2 cups.
