Want to talk about a drink that’s yummy and all natural? Good because I do! I was approached by the awesome people at Zukay Live Foods to try out their amazing naturally fermented drinks — Raw Kavaas. I gotta say, this stuff is beyond yummy. I mean seriously, I hate flavored vegetable drinks or anything like that. I really only like Coffee, Water, Wine & Tea {literally}. But these are the absolute bomb.
Not only did I like them, but Mr. Not So Paleo LOVED them. I mean seriously, He’s “not so paleo” therefore very, very picky about his “healthy” foods {or so it seems}. And these he was hooked on the first sip.
These drinks are created from the juice of raw, fermented vegetables. And that’s it. Super clean, super yummy, super epic. Read more about the company and their process / philosophy here
Not to mention now that I’ve had these drinks, I want to start making my own sauerkraut for extra added benefits and good times!
They have several health benefits such as:
• Helping your digestive system {through probiotics} — they’ve been known to help aid the bacteria in your stomach, slow down or cure certain disease and even improve your bodies immunity! So yeah, why wouldn’t you jump on it? I did notice from pretty much the get go that I felt better. Couldn’t really pin point why, I just did. They also made me a bit thirstier {which isn’t a bad thing because I know I don’t drink enough water}. So it was a great way to make sure that I did while having a whole bunch of other positives 🙂
• Fermented Foods also can help improve your gut health, which in turn improves how you digest / absorb certain foods. Which means you’ll be getting more nutrients from the foods you’re already eating {so lets talk about how much better your leafy greens are going to be for you now!}.
The one downside to the drinks is a tiny one in my book. The drinks all have Raw Organic Green Stevia in them. Now I know I’m not the biggest fan of any kind of sweetener, but when it comes to something like this, I find that the positives all out way whatever negatives I might have towards them. And if you’re already good to go with something like Stevia, bonus! You can read more about why and how on their website here.
So overall? Totally in love with the drinks. I think they’re amazing, yummy, and just all around make me feel better {and Mr. Not So Paleo}. My personal favorite flavor was the Veggie Medley Kavass. Mr. Not So Paleo’s was the Super Root Kavass! Looking to buy some? Check out their store locator on their website to find a health food store near you!
And I’ve got an epic surprise for you… Next week, we’re doing a giveaway with these awesome guys! We’ll be giving some drinks away, some coupons away and it’ll just be epic! So stay tuned for that 🙂
This is the drink I forgot to mention at the end of our podcast! Sorry folks! Here it is, hahahaha!
Awesome Liz, excited for the contest, should be fun. 🙂
I took a look at Whole Foods for it last night, couldn’t find it (site said they carry it). I’ll have to ask next time. I want to try this!
I’m gonna have to try that! I love Kombucha…does it taste anything like that since it’s fermented?
