GoodBelly Review and Giveaway...

CONGRATS TO AB SMITH!

About GoodBelly: "GoodBelly, a line of deliciously juicy probiotic fruit drinks, today announced the introduction of GoodBelly Probiotic Coconut Water, GoodBelly Tropical Green, and GoodBelly StraightShot. The new beverages join GoodBelly’s family of dairy-free and vegan juice drinks that deliver the digestive health benefits** of the company’s patented probiotic strain, Lp299v.


“These new offerings embrace some of the most popular beverage trends and then take them to a new level by incorporating the benefits of our well-substantiated probiotic culture” said GoodBelly CEO, Alan Murray. “Like our other GoodBelly products, the newest items are an excellent source of probiotics for vegan and allergy-prone consumers, because they are dairy-free, soy-free, and do not contain any animal-sourced ingredients.”

GoodBelly Probiotic Coconut Water, GoodBelly Tropical Green, and GoodBelly StraightShot add to the company’s existing selection of probiotic beverages that help promote digestive health** with the probiotic strain Lp299v. New product details include:

 GoodBelly Probiotic Coconut Water – A replenishing coconut water fortified with 20 billion* live and active probiotic cultures per serving. Coconut water is highly regarded for its composition of natural electrolytes, including calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, and sodium, which aid in effective hydration. Light and refreshing, GoodBelly Probiotic Coconut Water has no added sugar and is only 80 calories per serving. MSRP $3.49 for 32 ounces.

 GoodBelly Tropical Green – Tropical Green contains a healthy blend of antioxidants, vitamins, and mineral-rich organic ingredients like spinach, spirulina, chlorella, parsley, alfalfa grass, and oat grass, which are combined with billions of live and active cultures of Lp299v. Tropical Green is lower in calories and sugar than the leading green juice brand and has a deliciously fruity taste. MSRP $3.49 for 32 ounces.

 GoodBelly StraightShot – The company’s most simple and economical probiotic option, GoodBelly StraightShot offers 20 billion* live and active probiotic cultures per serving in a delightful and gentle non-dairy base. GoodBelly StraightShot is dairy-free, soy-free and has no added sugar. MSRP $2.99 for a 4-pack of 2.7oz shots.

GoodBelly’s entire product line is dairy-free and vegan, making it an ideal source of probiotics for those suffering from lactose intolerance or who avoid animal-sourced ingredients. Unlike many live cultures found in yogurt, GoodBelly’s patented probiotic strain, Lp299v, replenishes the digestive system with good bacteria by surviving passage through the stomach’s harsh acidic environment, adhering to the intestinal lining, and colonizing the gut with beneficial microorganisms.

What we thought: We tried the drinkable carton of GoodBelly.  It was the consistency of juice, just a tad bit thicker.  We had both the mango flavor and the blueberry acai flavor.  I preferred the yummy mango option.  It was easy to drink and keeping it on the top shelf in the fridge reminded me to drink a glass each day.  This probiotic drink worked pretty well and the 12 day challenge produced great results.  This drink tasted great and worked as intended.  ABCD Diaries gives GoodBelly an A+!
