Notes
Any unflavored, raw kombucha works—green, white, or black tea.
Vary the type of fruit: blueberries, strawberries, mango, peaches, or raspberries. Use 1/2 cup of one fruit or a combination of several.
Add your favorite superfoods: 1 tablespoon spirulina or hemp, 1 teaspoon minced ginger, 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds, or 1 tablespoon of soaked chia seeds.
Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder and turn this smoothie into a mini meal.
If you have too many SCOBYs, throw part of one in the blender during step 3. Your blender will grind it up so you won’t taste it, but you’ll get an extra boost of healthy probiotics and enzymes.
