Fruit Kvass
Kvass is traditionally a fermented drink made with beets. This refreshing drink is made from fruit and started with kombucha rather than whey. Please note that fermented drinks may contain a negligible amount of residual alcohol that occurs naturally during fermentation. Generally, the longer the drink is fermented, the greater the alcohol content.
Easy Kombucha
Here’s my favorite, simplified (really!) recipe for homemade kombucha. Start with a small batch, 1 quart, and increase over time. You can make kombucha as tart or as sweet as you like. The longer the drink ferments, the more probiotics and negligible alcohol are created. Pictured here: A berry kombucha with strained berry puree added after the first ferment.
Zen Smoothie
Get ready for energized calm! This veggie-loaded smoothie can be customized according to your available ingredients and preferences. Add more berries to achieve a rosier color. Aim for less than 50% fruit content to achieve better sugar handling and increased satiety.
