ROBOT ~ Organic Honey Cola Kombucha is being heralded as the World’s Healthiest Cola, as it uses zero refined sugar, zero aspartame, zero added / artificial colour ~ the drink is made using 100% organic kombucha, which is a direct remedy against the usual gut destroying colas, as Kombucha is a highly efficient gut probiotic, packing millions of gut-healthy microbes to help restore our gut equilibrium – the ‘Gut Microbiome’, which in recent years has seen a massive decline in function and health due to excessive processed foods, resulting in obesity, autoimmune diseases and diabetes among just a few.
Poor gut health can and does lead to a variety of more complex health issues, and it is essential to try to reverse the damage of the last 50yrs of industrial farming.
ROBOT Kombucha uses a teaspoon of organic nutrient dense honey in every can, making it the most sustainable, most healthy and best tasting cola ever made..
ROBOT has eliminated all traces of unhealthy ingredients such as refined sugar, artificial colour, plastic bottles – and has focused on using 100% organic natural ingredients to create a super premium, high quality soft drink – it uses organic honey – as the sweetener, and development director Pascal Du Bois explains: “Honey is our planet’s best and most nutrient-rich super-food, it really packs a punch when it comes to nutrients, vitamins, omega 3’s, antioxidants and above all it has an amazing taste” he says.
“Honey is such an incredible ingredient – and we use it sparingly, as the sweet taste is much stronger than refined white sugar, but the metabolism of which is 10 times slower, so it’s ideal for diabetics as well as everyone ~ but it’s just a super high quality ingredient in what is a very well crafted drink.”
The other massive critically important aspect of using organic honey, is that it supports a declining bee population, and without bees, we simply can’t grow food!
“Bees are of critical importance to us at Net Zero Foods, and to us as a nation – we looked everywhere for organic honey to put in our Kombucha, but sadly there was such a lack of it in the uk. This means that there are so many farms and meadows which are still using chemical pesticides and fertilisers, that bees are in decline – and we cannot even produce organic honey ~ and this is the very problem behind a declining bee population. Pesticides don’t just kill bugs, they kill insects, including the important ones like Bees!” Says Pascal.
Net Zero Foods have worked tirelessly for 2+yrs to source all organic ingredients and to develop the taste, and they say that it’s close to the original flavour, but better ~ that ROBOT will easily overtake the behemoth unhealthy monster in less than a couple of years – which will help reduce our massive costs on our NHS – which is more than £9bn a year in sugar-related health-care and rising, so saving our NHS resources and making people healthier is one thing, but supporting bee colonies is vital also. Without bees, we simply can’t grow food!
“Sugar is our biggest problem in the West, it’s in everything ~ and it’s causing so many health problems. We think that Honey is the solution, given the undeniable health properties, the taste, the quality and the natural organic goodness that it has.”
“The industry has tried mimicking the sweetness of sugar, by developing artificial sweeteners such as aspartame or even Stevia ~ but these are fraught with other health problems, as it fools the body into thinking it’s getting sugar, when it’s not”.
“The solution, is simply to use natures most healthy and best tasting syrup – Honey. There is no substitute for the best!”
ROBOT Organic Honey Cola Kombucha has been brewed from an ancient kombucha recipe, which uses a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast) which Pascal says they cultivated themselves.
“Kombucha is an ancient Oriental tea recipe, dating back more than 2000 years
to ancient China or Japan.
Back then, people had to use fermentation to preserve food and drink, and to provide good health – Kombucha was used as a medicinal tincture, to ward off infections and poor health – but it production is a result of a totally natural process, used in the preserving of food and drink.
In recent years, our diets have struggled to cope with the ever increasing and more processed foods we consume, with refined sugar appearing more and more in every day foods – which together destroys our gut health and makes us put on weight – so fermented Kombucha is really important for our gut health, as well as lowering our glycemic load – and we only need a small amount of honey and probiotic kombucha to achieve the perfect taste – ROBOT has almost 90% less sugar than regular colas, and it also helps to restore some of that damaged gut microbiome.”
“There are SCOBY’s available to buy from specialists who cultivate kombuchas – these are the cultures of bacteria which causes the base tea to ferment, but we found the only one which gave us the flavour we wanted, and seemed to work best with our organic honey, was a kombucha we brewed ourselves. It takes more than 6 weeks to brew, and it’s packed with goodness. So we only need a small amount to bring the goodness into our Organic Cola.”
The company will be bringing out different flavours in the future, and so the ROBOT brand is looking exciting.
“Given that we consulted with Ai Robotic artificial intelligence to ask several questions about healthy diets, sustainability, gut health, climate change and drinks, it gave us some very interesting answers, some of which we worked on to develop the concept for ROBOT Kombucha – we also asked Ai to help design the packaging, and so it seemed only right to develop the brand, and call it ROBOT.. In future, ROBOT will develop other flavours and other healthy drinks and products that will simply be healthier for people and planet.”
