Here is a good alternative to a cola or wine if you are trying to make the raw transition. It's fizzy and it gives you a slight healthy buzz ;) It's called Kombucha by Synergy. It ususally can be found at your local health store in the refrigerated section in colorful glass jars. They have several cool flavors, but the main ingredient is organic raw kombucha (made by culturing a black tea mixture). It has a slight alcohol content due to the fermentation. Each 20oz bottle costs about $3.75 but contains 2 servings, about 35 calories each and 4 grams of sugar. I find it to be tasty, although I can see how some may think it's an acquired taste. I typically drink 1/2 bottle at night to unwind with my night time snack of a Raw Fudge Brownie (recipe on Blog), although this drink can naturally energize you throughout the day as well. Kombucha has been around 1000s of years, so it must have something going for it, give it a shot.

i LOVE Kombucha. i used to make it by the gallon, which is extremely cheap, but requires a bit of care. these drinks are great (i've had them a few times), but they're rather expensive. c'est la vie, i guess.
but, is Kombucha really "raw"?
P.S. - i hope you haven't stopped blogging. i've just discovered you!

I bought your book and your diet makes total sense! I have always believed in food combining, which your diet follows pretty closely. I ordered you raw crunch bars and just got those in the mail today, so I can't wait to try one tomorrow! Thank you for your blog, I read all the posts and can't wait for new ones :-) I know this diet will work for me, I feel better already! Thanks :-)
This is my new raw substitute for cabernet. Yippee!
