Now, does anyone know if one can have too many probiotics in one's body at once? Some were bright, sweet and incredibly easy to drink, while others were less likely to convert kombucha skeptics: spicy and vinegary with an off-putting smell, and sometimes containing (gulp) flecks of floating, wispy yeast.Īnd so, in an effort to help all of those out there teetering on the cliff of kombucha doubt, I present the best "gateway kombuchas" to get you on the probiotic train, as well as those you may want to steer clear of at the start.
