Share Your Booch With Your Pooch!

April 30, 2019 by Susan Bewley

Have you heard of kombucha, or ‘booch’ (a common short form)? If you have, you probably live on the west coast, just got out of a yoga studio, or know someone who drinks it. If you haven’t, then you need to get in the know!

Kombucha is one of the most delicious drinks on the planet. Made by fermenting sweet tea, the popularity of kombucha has been driven by it’s myriad of health benefits and the accessibility of brewing it at home. Probiotics play an integral role in keeping your tummy healthy. That’s why people have turned to yogurt as a digestive aid and also why yogurt companies are showcasing the millions of probiotics on their labels. Did you know that yogurt is also a fermented product? It’s fermented milk! So if you’re eating yogurt for gut health, then feel free to add in some kombucha to your diet.

Eating healthy and drinking healthy are trends that continue to grow throughout the country. Consumers are reaching for alternatives to sugar-rich soda and fruit drinks. Enter kombucha!

An average soda contains 35g of sugar per can and fruit drinks can contain 20g-35g of sugar per serving. According to the American Heart Association, the average woman should take in no more than 25g of sugar and 37.5g for men. So when you think about reaching for a drink, remember that downing that can of soda could put you over the daily limit of sugar intake. Kombucha is like the low sugar, low calorie relative of soda. It’s bubbly, refreshing and averages 2-6g of sugar per serving.

If you are buying your kombucha at a natural health store or a local grocery store, drinking it every day can get expensive. Some people save money by buying bigger bottles or even cases at a time. Not everyone has the space to store that much kombucha or the budget! A bottle of kombucha ranges from $2.50-$5.00. So, if you’re drinking one per day, you’re looking at upwards of $100 per month.

The great thing about kombucha is that it is an awesome DIY project. Making kombucha at home is super simple and will save you a lot of money in the long run. The basic ingredients for kombucha are tea, water, sugar, kombucha starter, and a SCOBY. The only thing you’re probably missing at home is the kombucha starter and a SCOBY. At a natural health food store you can buy a SCOBY; alternatively, you can grow your own at home. Kombucha starter is just another way of saying original, unflavoured kombucha.

Once you’ve given kombucha try, made it at home, it’s time to share! Share your kombucha with your friends, family, kids and even your furry friends. Yes, that’s right, kombucha is pet friendly. Kombucha can be used as a digestive aid, a skin spray, added to a doggy bath and even the SCOBY can act as an all natural chew toy.

    Very interesting article. I haven’t tried kombucha before but will definitely try and find some now – for me and my doggos.

    What about cats? Is kombucha good for cats as well? Not that they would necessarily eat it whether good for them or not. Both of my cats have a tendency to throw up so if kombucha works as a digestive aid for them, I would certainly start making it.

    Awesome! I’ve never had Kombucha. Not sure my picky little boy would eat it though, no matter how healthy it is

Had to share my cute order from @sugoimart - Box 2 Had to share my cute order from @sugoimart - Box 2 of 2 included 2 Sakura Lucky Bags (all Japan-exclusive items). These bags were 100% worth it & oh so adorable! When this box arrived from #sugoimart it was under pressure from all the items in these two bags. It includes some cute sakura season #Sanrio items #dogplush , tea, soda, beauty items, stationery & more. While there were some duplicate items, not as many as the #SanroiLuckyBag . If you are considering buying this bag - go for it! While I wish the second bag had a plush rather than a #sakura themed toy, I definitely think it was the gamble! #LuckyBag #Sakuraluckybag #Japan #Japanexclusive #HelloKitty #Cute
