The Health-Ade Strawberry Mango Chili kombucha is a limited-edition spicy and sweet (AKA swicy) refreshment crafted with flavor and function as its focus to work well for nutrition-minded consumers. The drink starts off with the brand's signature kombucha to give it a slightly tangy base that's packed with live probiotics and organic acids. The drink is paired with strawberry and mango alongside chili to give it a sweet, slightly spicy profile that isn't too overpowering to ensure it's as applicable for the average consumer as possible.
The Health-Ade Strawberry Mango Chili kombucha is arriving at Sprouts both in-store and online now, but is a limited time offering that will only be available for the springtime. The drink responds to the increased popularity of probiotic foods and beverages, and the need for modern flavor infusions.
