Probiotics - the beneficial bacteria that help keep your gut healthy and your immune system strong - can be hard to come by unless you’re taking supplements or getting lots of yogurt in your diet. But thanks to products like Carpe Diem carbonated teas, now you can drink your good bugs - which is a lot more yummy than it sounds. According to ThisNexter Liz Oakes, Carpe Diem serves up “totally refreshing carbonated teas and waters which are a treat,” with the most probiotic-rich products found in the Kombucha and Kefir teas. Although they’re not exactly short on sugar (delivering at least 25 mg per bottle), both drinks are loaded with healing herbs, cultures, and probiotics that could boost your body’s natural defenses and keep you from getting sick this season.
