Viva la Vinegar by Soupologie

FLAVOUR: Strawberry and basil PRICE: £1.90 for 250ml AVAILABLE FROM: Sainsbury’s Sold in the chiller cabinet and packaged in little smoothie bottles, viva la vinegar looks healthy and is just 32 calories a serving.

A slight improvement on the brand’s kiwi and kale variant (which smells like a compost heap and doesn’t taste much better), this does taste of strawberry but I can’t discern any basil.

Soupologie, who make the brand, claim its unfiltered apple cider vinegar contains the Mother. This is the cloudy bit that occurs naturally during the making of unpasteurised vinegar (usually floating to the top) and is believed to contain the greatest amount of natural protein, enzymes and friendly bacteria.

Unfortunately, the hit of vinegar burns the back of your throat. Not pleasant.
