Review: Goodbelly

May 23rd, 2009

This is an amazing drink with a focus on offering plenty of digestive enzymes to help the body break down nutrients, digest food and eliminate waste. There are several flavors and they are all quite tasty. A small amount each morning goes a long way if you drink this consistently. With a combination of probiotics and fruit nutrients, Goodbelly makes an excellent morning drink or addition to your smoothie…and they really work! This probiotic drink has the advantage of being a dairy free product, for those who cannot tolerate dairy products. Besides being dairy free, they are soy and gluten free and completely vegan. They are a little on the expensive side, but if you buy the large size, you’ll save a bundle.

Manufacturer’s Description

That’s right, GoodBelly–a fruit-based probiotic fruit drink packed full of serious probiotics and nutrients. GoodBelly Multi is a 2.7 oz. “shot” and GoodBelly Probiotic Fruit Drink in quarts is a powerhouse breakfast fruit drink for the whole family. Summer-ripe peaches are blended with deliciously tangy mangoes. Mangoes contain enzymes that aid in digestion and intestinal health, and they’re jam-packed with antioxidants too.

Taste

The taste is a bit like a yogurt, a little bit sour, but with plenty of fruit flavor too. These drinks are not sugary or sweet, but they have evaporated cane juice as a sweetener, which is one of my favorite sweeteners. Cane juice is pure sucrose and burns off quickly if you’re active. The peach and mango flavors are subtle and natural.

Where to Buy

Safeway, Sunflower Market, Vons Supermarkets, Whole foods Stores, Albertson’s
