Itโs no secret that kids love a sweet treat. Whether itโs cake, chocolate or fizzy drinks, kids + sugar = happiness ๐
Finding the right balance is a challenge for most parents and sourcing healthy, low-sugar treats for your kids can be tricky, especially when the obvious โhealthyโ options like fruit juice are also crammed full of sugar.
Kombucha is a fruity, fizzy and fun alternative to popular sugar-laden soft drinks โ and before you ask, yes, kids can drink kombucha! ๐ฅฐ
We understand the confusion some parents may have about giving their children kombucha, especially when thereโs a lot of misinformation out there about its alcohol content and effects.
Kombucha is widely accepted as being safe for children but we do recommend starting off with small servings and diluting with water, especially for smaller children and toddlers. This will help to neutralise some of the natural acidity without losing the delicious flavour!
โผ๏ธ N.B. If your child has a weak or compromised immune system, it is best to check with your GP or healthcare professional before giving them kombucha or any other fermented food, as it does contain live bacteria.
