As one of the largest discount store retailers in the United States, Target is expanding its beverage offerings with an affordably priced collection of Simply Balanced kombucha.
Kombucha is a fermented tea beverage that is known for its many health benefits, but it also tends to be a health-focused drink that is high in cost. Kombucha is commonly priced at $4 or more per 16-ounce bottle, but Target's own Simply Balanced range prioritizes affordability, keeping the price of its 15.2-ounce bottles at just $2.79.
The probiotic-rich Simply Balanced kombucha beverages are offered in a range of simple flavors, including 'Ginger' and 'Mango,' as well as blended combinations such as 'Raspberry, Lemon & Ginger' and 'Blueberry Grape.'
