Too much alcohol? There's a booze free option, too with Boo Chi Kombucha

Re-charge your taste buds and your digestion with Boo Chi kombucha this Christmas and going into January.

If you're going to say "no" to alcohol over Christmas and your going to be trying out Dry January, ditch the high-calorie drinks and use kombucha to mix your mocktails. You can also use kombucha in a variety of recipes too.

You have heard of Kombucha but aren't sure what it is? It's a fermented tea beverage that's packed full of useful probiotics that are good for your gut. 

Fermented foods, such as kombucha, kimchi, sauerkraut and yoghurt contain probiotics and other microorganisms that nourish the good-for-you bacteria that's already resident in your gut, supporting healthy gastrointestinal functions and your body's overall microbiome. 

Probiotics are associated with a variety of health benefits, such as improved digestion, better immunity, and even increased weight loss.

Research shows kombucha is also rich in antioxidant-packed, anti-inflammatory polyphenols, too. 

This is why kombucha has the reputation of making people who drink it feel so good. So see out 2022 and kick start 2022 with good vibes and good-for-you bacteria, jazz it up to create delicious mocktails or add it to some recipes.

As kombucha is the star of the show, it's worth sourcing the very best and Boo Chi kombucha is Soil Association certified and brewed in small batches in the heart of the Devon countryside. Order online at www.boochi.co.uk.

There's nothing complicated about making Boo Chi kombucha mocktails and adding kombucha to your food - just follow these instructions using Boo Chi kombucha and you'll have a tipple worth raising a glass to!
