HEALTH DRINKS

Craving something more substantial than old-fashioned H20? From kombucha to protein water, today’s health drinks promise to quench your thirst while delivering a body-boosting dose of good nutrition.

VOW Nutrition Sparklean Protein Drink £9.99 (4 cans), vownutrition.com

This is a really great drink that harnesses the benefits of pea protein – one of the only plant proteins to contain all the essential amino acids, including leucine, which stimulate muscle protein synthesis. This drink provides a clear option – a lighter alternative to a creamy protein shake – and it’s pleasingly low in sugar. It’s also Informed Sports approved, so safe for professional athletes to drink.

WHY WE LIKE IT

• High-quality source of protein

• Supports muscle recovery after exercise

• Refreshing alternative to creamy protein shakes

WHAT YOU GET

• 15g protein

• 80 calories

• Informed Sport approved

MOMO Kombucha £45 (case of 12 bottles), momo-kombucha.com

A high-quality unfiltered kombucha. The sugar content is lower than many other products on the market, and you can taste that when you drink it. The brand has clearly taken a lot of effort to produce a clean, all-natural product. It’s a rich source of probiotic cultures and antioxidants – produced in the traditional way, in small glass jars, for a richer flavour. There are four flavour options, but I particularly enjoy the crisp Ginger-Lemon.

WHY WE LIKE IT

• High-quality kombucha prepared in small batches following traditional methods

• Minimal ingredients list

• Rich source of probiotic cultures

WHAT YOU GET

• Live cultures and antioxidants

• Organic

• Completely unfiltered
