The eagle has landed! Delicious Probiotic Drinks has been released into the wild! The baby has been born!ย  Great balls of fire, my first cookbook has been published! What better way to celebrate the release than to give it to you for free?? TIMES THREE! Iโ€™ll give you all the giveaway deets, but first, a spiel about the book.

Delicious Probiotic Drinks includes 75 recipes for naturally-fermented probiotic beverages, including kombucha, ginger beer, kefir (and yogurt!), lactofermented lemonade, and more! This book is great for those who have never brewed a probiotic drink in their life, as well as seasoned brewers. Making these drinks at home is much more cost effective (and fun!) than buying them from the store. Plus, being a home-brewer of any kind enhances your badassedness (well-known fact). You can order my book through Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble.

Delicious Probiotic Drinks by Julia Mueller

Whatโ€™s so fan-freaking-tastic about probiotic drinks that one would write a cookbook on them? So glad you asked! Theyโ€ฆ

  1. Promote the microflora in your digestive tract, which ensure proper digestion and nutrient absorption as well as bowel regularity.
  2. Boost your immune system and energy level.
  3. Prevent and heal sickness and disease.
  4. Relieve certain digestive disorders, such as Crohnโ€™s Disease, Celic Disease, Candida, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, ulcers, etc.
  5. Promote joint function.
  6. Are vitamin & mineral rich! Each drink contains its own set of benefits other than gut health. They are filled with a variety of Vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, proving to be super-charged vitalizing elixirs!

Annndโ€ฆthe benefit to brewing probiotic drinks at home isโ€ฆ

  1. Home-brewed probiotic drinks contain more strands and types of probiotics than store-bought.
  2. Itโ€™s cheaper! Purchasing probiotic-rich food and drinks can be expensive, but making them at home is cheap!
  3. Itโ€™s fun and badass! Fermentation truly is an art. You can get creative, learn as you go, and watch your probiotic culture evolve over time. Itโ€™s wuuuuuunderbar!
  4. You can flavor them as you please! Based on your personal taste and/or nutritional needs, you can experiment with ingredients to create tasty treats.

I SWEAR, BREWING PROBIOTICS IS EASY! IF THIS GIRL CAN DO IT, YOU CAN TOOOOOOO! just saying…

    1. Thank you so much, Maggie! I’m so thrilled that the book has been well received! Cheers to gut health! Let me know if you have any brewing questions ๐Ÿ™‚ xo

  2. Ahh! Congratulations Julia!!!! I’m so excited for you and everyone that gets to enjoy and be healthier because of it! Very much looking forward to reading, learning, and brewing. ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. I felt the same way before I began brewing kombucha. There are a lot of things to think about, but I promise, it’s not that difficult once you get the hang of it! Let me know if you have any questions!

  3. Howdy!
    I am SO SO SO glad that I found your terrific blog today……I started out reading Borscht recipes, and somehow ended up here- I think I followed a link from Coffee and Quinoa maybe? Another lovely blog….
    But anyway, your new cookbook sounds AWESOME— I would love to get it sometime. I am so glad someone wrote a cookbook on probiotic drinks!! I am a confirmed Weirdo to people who know me…..to them, I am the geek who loves making strange, fizzy, gross looking beverages that no one else will touch! I always have an eerie collection of jars in the basement with different colored fermenting liquids in them with strange things floating in them. ๐Ÿ™‚ I make endless variations of kefir and kvass, using anything that I think of. Wonderful fun and awesome taste bud experiences!!!!!! Horrah to you, fellow weirdo-fermento-experimento friend!!!

    1. You can do it, Betty, I promise! It seemed intimidating to me too, but as a person with zero patience, I can assure you, it is easy peasy and lots of fun!

  4. I just discovered your blog and now I’m in love with it! Congrats on the book! i can’t wait to start trying so many of your recipes… woods.courtney (at) gmail (dot) com

  5. Just found your blog / book through a pin. It looks fantastic! I’ve made beet kvass and drink it every day. Started with sauerkraut, but like the kvass better. I’d love to expand my repertoire! Looking forward to buying your book. So happy to have found it.

  6. I just found you today in a search for probiotic drinks. I’ve tried my hand at a little fermenting; kombucha and veggies. My first scooby was apparantly not fed well enough (ah, sigh…) but hoping the second try will be better. I hope I can master the art; my fermented veggie & kombucha habit is getting too expensive to buy at the farmers’ market every week!

  7. Congratulations Julia. What an interesting book! I think that book would suit me perfect since I am very into probiotics. So I wish the book would be sold here in Norway for to get a copy. But I can always hope for a giveaway. Have a nice day and keep up the good work!
