Over 5% of US adults have adopted a ketogenic diet, leading many to question if popular health drinks fit their low-carb lifestyle. As kombucha relies on sugar for its fermentation, many keto enthusiasts ask: is there a keto-friendly kombucha that won't disrupt ketosis? The answer is yes, with the right knowledge and careful selection.

While traditional kombucha can contain a significant amount of sugar, some brands offer low-sugar alternatives suitable for a ketogenic diet. The key to including kombucha in your keto lifestyle is understanding the fermentation process and checking nutritional labels carefully to avoid unwanted carbs and sugars.

Did you know that many commercial kombuchas contain as much sugar as a can of soda, making them a poor choice for a ketogenic diet? By taking control of the brewing process at home, you can significantly reduce the sugar content and enjoy this probiotic beverage guilt-free. This guide will show you exactly how to make keto friendly kombucha from scratch, focusing on a long fermentation and keto-safe flavorings.

While traditional kombucha is made with sugar, most commercial kombucha brands contain significantly less sugar than sugary soft drinks, with some varieties offering as little as 2-6g per 8oz serving. The fermentation process is what makes it possible to create a low carb kombucha that is both tangy and rich in probiotics.
