Coconut Water: Young coconuts contain natural water within that is rich in potassium. It is isotonic with human blood and has even been used in many countries for blood transfusions. This sweet drink is fantastic for quenching thirst and recharging the body.
Kombucha: This fermented beverage is produced through a large pancake looking SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast). It is scientifically classified as a zoogleal mat. This drink is loaded with healthy yeasts, enzymes, electrolytes, bacteria and other microorganisms. There are many different flavors with unique superfoods that are added making synergistically unique functional beverages.
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Drinks: ACV is a powerful tonic loaded with incredible living nutrients. The ACV should be raw, unpasteurized with the "mother" intact. The mother is the portion of the apple that is fermented and contains the source of the good bacteria and enzymes. There are many different combinations that provide unique synergistic effects with ACV as well.
