That was my biggest struggle to find the right number of calories to lose. High enough to get through classes and workouts, but low enough to keep losing.  

They have GTS on sale (2.39) at a natural grocer, love ginger. I will be at in the morning and will pick up a few and see if they have the scoby--I know they sometimes have it. I tried one today tart cherry Kevita. It was actually pretty good especially on ice as I am not a big fan of sweet drinks. Would definitely be more budget friendly to make it.  

Bella, home brewed, or in our case on the road brewed, is so good and worth a try. I do encourage you to try it. 👍 

Wholefoodnut, that is a great deal. Normally $3-4 here. 

Glad you’re finding it palatable, wholefoodnut❣️ 

Becc- I may. Which is an improvement from Monday when I questioned even being able to drink it period. 

Bella, I was like you. People would tell me about it and encourage me to try it, but I wasn't interested. Then I met Kristen and she gifted us two of her scobies. We brewed our batch of kombucha while vacationing and I was hooked! It's very rewarding making your own. 😀 

Part of my hesitation was experience; I'd bought 'some brand' a few years ago and had to hold my nose to pour it down the sink. I've been surprised with these. A couple of the brands earlier this week were a little too vinegary for me But these gingers are doing well. I may baby step making my own. Start with buying a scoby before trying to ferment one. I'm still reading. 

And the other thing is other than coffee I don't normally drink calories (because I have to have cream... and I have to have the coffee to do the things ...) but these are minimal enough that if the benefits start to manifest I'll accommodate the calories. 

💕 Becca💕 I’m glad it’s working well for you Bella. I’m smiling because it created a domino effect. The people you associate with is important. When your friends are making positive changes, that becomes contagious. Keep spreading that kombucha love❣️ 🐸 ☕️ ❤️  

Just made some today using piloncillo and cinnamon sticks. 😊 

😋😋😋 yum❣️
