The functional drinks market has exploded in recent years and to keep up with demand, more brands are delivering fizzy drinks with a difference, whether it’s Living Things’ low sugar, all-natural prebiotic sodas (the watermelon lime flavour is the perfect summer refresher) or XOXO’s gut friendly options that contain 6g of fibre per can. If you like your functional drinks fermented, England rugby icon turned wellness entrepreneur Jonny Wilkinson has recently relaunched his raw, unpasteurised kombucha brand, One Living. The six flavours also contain added B vitamins and adaptogens for cognitive function.
If you’ve yet to get on the (magic) mushroom train, Dirtea, purveyors of excellent mushroom-based powder blends, have now launched their own range of gummies, which contain up to 3000mg of functional mushrooms and essential vitamins. Choose from lion’s mane to enhance focus, cordyceps to improve energy, tremella to increase glow and chaga to support immunity. Sugar-free and in tasty fruit flavours they’re potent but palatable.
