Up until now, GT's Living Foods' kombucha beverages have been packaged in glass bottles but with the launch of Synergy Enlightened, it's easier than ever to take smooth, sparkling refreshment to go. Exploring the lighter side of real kombucha "in a soda-like sip," Synergy Enlightened marks the brand's first foray into aluminum cans.
Still packed with benefits, these new drinks promise a lighter tea base and lightly sweet, fruit-forward flavors like Cherry Hibiscus, Orange Cream Vanilla, Yuzu Blossom and Elderberry Rose that help with meeting daily fiber goals. Beyond calling out good-for-the-gut prebiotics and probiotics that support digestion and immunity, GT's Living Foods highlights clinically studied nutrients and GLP-1-friendly ingredients for feel-good, taste-good refreshment.
