Hey-o! How’s it going? How were your holidays? Did you get to spend time with family, friends? Anyone get or give any good presents? This year, I got my boyfriend a TON of workout clothes and a yoga mat (I’m particularly devoted to this one), my mom and sister customized Build-A-Bears, and my dad this awesome pineapple green tea he wanted. My boyfriend also got me this beautiful gold constellation necklace (I love astronomy), so it was a great Christmas all around!

Quick sidebar: I don’t think I’ve ever talked about my fascination with astronomy here. It’s what first got me into subatomic particle physics, which I had intended on majoring in before getting pushed into business. Even now, though, I hold such a deep love for outer space and all things astronomy. Call me a nerd, but I love explaining how black holes work or talking about the various nebulas with my friends (Horse’s Head all the way!!). And if you’re ever looking for something mind-bending and awe-inspiring to do, go to the Hubble Space Telescope’s website and look at the amazing images they’ve taken. They are – dare I say it – out of this world!

Okay, okay, enough space talk. Here’s a little recipe I whipped up with New Year’s Eve in mind. I love a glass of champagne as much as the next person, but I have a super sensitive stomach, and alcohol isn’t always the best fit. Enter in kombucha – it’s fizzy, slightly-alcohol-y (it’s fermented and actually does contain a very small percentage of alcohol), and healthy too! I also love kombucha because it’s probiotic, meaning it contains live active bacteria cultures (the good kind) that help replenish the bacteria in your gut.

So here’s what you do – get your fave fruity sorbet, sorbetto, sherbet, or even ice cream.  Add a few scoops into a glass, however many will fit, and pour over some kombucha. Voila, kombucha floats!! I called this recipe “kombucha mimosa floats” because I used orange sorbetto, but virtually any type of fruity frozen thing will work. Heck, you could even use a popsicle and it would work! The key here is keeping fruits with fruits – I’ve really never heard of a fruit combination that’s bad. Just pick a fruity kombucha that you like, and a fruity frozen thing that you like, and you’ll probably like the combination of the two.

Cheers, and Happy New Year!! I’ll see y’all back in 2018 :)

P.S.
