This Kombucha Slushie Will Cool You Down This Summer

Growing up, I was a junk food junkie and that included walking down to the local convenience store to get slushies in the hot, humid New England summers. They’re definitely cold but they’re most certainly rammed with artificial colors, tons of corn syrup and fake colors. Not so healthy.

Last year, I got the idea to blend kombucha—a fermented probiotic tea—with frozen fruit to take the edge of a particularly sweltering San Diego day. The result was an icy Kombucha Slushie with the perfect frozen texture and sweet, tart flavor. And the best part, it’s healthy, unlike the convenience store vice of my youth.
