GET IN MY BELLY- Review on the Good Belly Probiotic Fruit Drink

February 9th, 2010

Good Belly Probiotic Fruit Drink

Good Belly Probiotic Fruit Drink

Post by Amy Dean

On a warm Saturday afternoon in Boulder, Colorado, I went into Whole Foods. I was going in to find a few items and came across the Good Belly drink. It was on sale (2 for $5), so automatically that caught my eye.

Also, with a student budget (I’m a Sophmore at the University of Colorado), it is important for me to watch what I spend and how much use I am going to get out of the product. I am a big mango fan so I was naturally drawn to that particular flavor. I was a little skeptical in trying it because I have had health food drinks in the past that have tasted so awful. But surprisingly, the Good Belly drink tasted really good.

It was a little tart at first, but after another glass, it became a drink that I craved. It comes in a variety of flavors: Cranberry Watermelon, Mango, Black Currant, Blueberry Acai and Pomegranate Blackberry. I am eager to try more of the flavors. It also comes in two types of packaging. The first is a quart container and the other is a to-go style in yogurt looking containers (But, I assure you, it is nothing like yogurt and the consistency is like a drink). I highly recommend this product not only to maintain a healthy digestive system but also because it is great for your health in general.

Mango GoodBelly ToGo

GoodBelly TOGO Mango

GoodBelly TOGO Mango

I decided to try the Mango GoodBelly ToGo product today.  It was quite tasty. 

GoodBelly’s ToGo product has 20 Billion probiotics, clinically proven to improve core digestive health and strengthen immunity, and 500mg of Vitamin C!  Probiotics: Lactobacillus Plantarum 299v; Bifidobacteriaum Lactis Bi-07; Lactobaccilus Acidophilus.

As with the Blueberry Acai Flavor, it comes in a convenient package. Since it is a probiotic, it’s goal is to improve core digestive health and to strengthen immunity.  No doubt that doesn’t happen overnight, therefore I cannot comment on the effectiveness of my immunity or digestive health.

The directions on the package state, “Add contents of packet to 6 ounces of water or juice and enjoy.”  As with the Blueberry Acai Flavor, I added it to 16.9 ounces of water.  You’ll notice how it sinks to the bottom (see the photo to the right).  Once you have shaken it up, then it evenly distributes throughout the bottle.  If you do not drink it somewhat quickly, then it will re-settle to the bottom of the bottle.  So we do recommend having a screw top bottle to use when drinking the GoodBelly ToGo packets, so that you don’t have to chug it, if you don’t want to.

The taste of the Mango flavor  is more favorable than that of the Blueberry Acai.  The point of these probiotics, however, is not that they taste good but that they help your digestive system! 

So if you are looking for an alternative to past methods and drugs you’ve taken for your immunity and digestive health, then you might be interested in trying GoodBelly Probiotics – there are links to purchase it below.

The GoodBelly To Go is dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan.

Case Quantity is $67.50 (there are 6 boxes in a case, each box contains 8 individual packets, or about $1.41/packet)

Blueberry Acai GoodBelly ToGo

January 21st, 2010
GoodBelly ToGo

GoodBelly ToGo

The folks over at GoodBelly sent us some product to try.  We will be covering the product over the next couple of weeks.   Good Belly makes probiotic fruit drinks.

Their ToGo product is packed with 20 Billion probiotics, clinically proven to improve core digestive health and strengthen immunity, and 500mg of Vitamin C!  Probiotics: Lactobacillus Plantarum 299v; Bifidobacteriaum Lactis Bi-07; Lactobaccilus Acidophilus.  

First is their GoodBelly To Go.   I tried the Blueberry Acai Flavor.  As you can see, it comes in a very convenient package and even has an area where you can tear it open – eliminating the need for scissors on the go. Since it is a probiotic, it is supposed to improve your core digestive health and strengthen your immunity.  My guess is that I am not going to see results with that aspect all that quickly as I assume it is something that needs to build in your belly overtime!

What GoodBelly ToGo in Water Bottle

The directions say “Add contents of packet to 6 ounces of water or juice and enjoy.”  So I added it to 16.9 ounces of water, and then screwed on the top and shook it up.  I think you really need to have a top to screw on for this To Go product.  It all sinks to the bottom and you need to occasionally shake it back up!

I do not mind the taste, but also do not like it, if that makes sense.  I mean I wouldn’t think of going back to it immediately.  But I think my taste is a matter of opinion, and someone else might quite like it.  Regardless, if it’s purpose is for probiotics, then it is absolutely easy to drink and convient to drink for that purpose.

The GoodBelly To Go is dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan.

They sell it on their website by the case or by the box:

Case Quantity is $67.50
(there are 6 boxes in a case, each box contains 8 individual packets, so that about $1.41/packet)

Box Quantity is $12.50
(each box contains 8 individual packets, so that’s about $1.56/packet)

Suggested Use: One Packet per Day
