Do you need to take all three tonics?
-
What do they taste like? Kombucha? Cold pressed carrot juice?
They have a very unique taste and are not similar to those drinks! There is ZERO added sugar so they are not sweet, they taste more salty, savoury and earthy. Fermentation allows us to really access the goodness of the vegetables plus creating the natural probiotics and digestive enzymes in the fermentation process.
-
How do you get your kids to drink them?
We understand that not every kid is going to scull them back like Clover, so if your kids don’t like the taste, you can add them to other food. The beetroot is delicious in smoothies, while the more savoury blend kvass is best mixed into meals like soups, stews and pasta sauce. The daily dose for children is fairly small, so some parents have mixed them through porridge and weetbix unnoticed .
-
What if even as an adult I don’t like the taste?
Keep trying to shot them back! Some people love the taste from the get go, while others take a while to get used to it. Soon you’re body will be craving them! We love a good beetroot spritzer, beetroot tonic, sparkling water, or something sweeter if you feel the need, ice, lemon/lime and mint. Beet kvass can also be made into delicious salad dressings. You can also add to food and smoothies like the kids!

When shall I drink them?

Can the beetroot make my urine go pink?
-
Why should I go low and slow?
Fermented foods are powerful and when the body is strongly reacting to all of the good probiotics and eliminating the bad bacteria in the gut you can experience some symptoms. It’s far better to build your gut bacteria up slowly and consistently than giving it too much of a good thing when it’s not ready.
-
This weeks tonic tastes a bit different/is fizzier/is a different colour than it was last week?
Each batch is unique and can vary in taste and texture. Why? We use beautiful vegetables, organic whenever possible. One week the beetroot might taste slightly more earthy, or be a browner colour. Another week they might be sweeter and a bright red. Some batches might even be fizzy, as the tonics are naturally effervescent from the carbon dioxide during the process.

What do I do with my box and bottles?
Hold on to them! We strive to be #wastefreewarriors. When they are empty, rinse your bottles until they run clear and then pop them back in the box. In Auckland, put them out on your next delivery day and we will pick them up when we deliver. In the North Island, repack them and affix the return courier label, visit the URL on the label and click "ready to collect". Pop them outside and they should be collected within 48 hours.

What are the ingredients in the tonics?
-
How long do the tonics last?
Unopened they will last 60 days from bottling. Once opened its best to consume within 7 days for optimum nutrition and high probiotic count. This is why we deliver weekly, to ensure you don’t go without. However the tonics are still safe and very beneficial within 14 days so we do have a fortnightly option as well. In the early weeks while you are building up your dose, feel free to share around with family and friends so the tonic doesn’t go to waste.
-
Do I need to worry about the salt content?
If you follow a wholefoods based diet, your sodium intake is generally on the lower end. However if you frequently eat processed foods and takeaways, you may need to be mindful of your sodium intake. We use organic NZ sea salt and our bodies require 4-5g of salt daily. One 70ml serving of our Beet Kvass contains only 0.210g of salt - a small fraction of our daily requirement.
