For a limited time until the end of January, three flavours of KomBOOSTcha blends, including Berry Lemon, Mango Orange Pash and Watermelon Lychee, are available from Boost Juice bars.

“We all want to start the year off right, and we know healthy New Year’s resolutions play a big role in this!” Boost Juice managing director Claire Lauber said.

“The KomBOOSTcha blends are the perfect combination of delicious, seasonal fruit and good for you Amplify Kombucha, another option at Boost for people looking for a fresh and healthy alternative drink this summer.”

The bombucha-based blends contain whole fruit juice for fibre and organic kombucha and are vegan, dairy free and wheat free.

Kombucha is considered to have health benefits as it includes probiotics as well as good bacteria and organic acids, all said to be good for gut health.
