Kombucha that doesn’t taste like vinegar? Not possible! Unless you’ve tried Rowdy Mermaid Kombucha, then you know it is possible.

There’s no need to preach about the benefits of probiotics. We’ve heard it for years how probiotics are great for the digestive system (balancing out the friendly bacteria) and keeping the gut healthy. Nothing new there.

We also know there are many ways to take in extra probiotics, from supplements to fermented foods, including sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir and yogurt. But sometimes the difficult part is finding “live probiotics” in something that actually tastes good.

Fortunately, Rowdy Mermaid has come to the rescue. Now you can get your probiotics without gulping for air or squinting your eyes from the overwhelmingly sour (and displeasing to most) taste.

Instead, you get a pleasant, delicate flavor that resembles more of a wine cooler than a ghastly vinegar drink. This less intense flavor profile lets everyone enjoy the benefits of Kombucha.

Beyond the product itself, Rowdy Mermaid is a cool brand name, and the packaging is super clean, reflective of the product itself. There are seven flavors including Savory Peach and Flower Grow, which we taste tested.

This product must remain refrigerated since it contains live probiotics. We found it in the refrigerated drink section of our local Whole Foods.

There’s a great story behind this brand, and this video will give you a snippet of how the company started. You can also visit the Rowdy Mermaid website to find out more.
