NextFoods, Boulder, CO, creators of the GoodBelly line of probiotic drinks, unveiled GoodBelly Protein Shakes, a new line of multi-functional beverages. Packed with 15 grams of plant-based protein to nourish the body, the shakes also include 40 billion live and active probiotic cultures to support digestive health. GoodBelly Protein Shakes are available in three flavors: Tropical Coconut featuring bananas, coconut and passion fruit; Green Power with spinach, alfalfa grass, spirulina, apples, pears and bananas; and Triple Berry including strawberry, blueberry and blackberry.
 
GoodBelly Protein Shakes feature the same well-researched and efficacious probiotic strain used in the brand’s existing line-up, Lactobacillus plantarum 299v (LP299V), which can withstand the stomach’s acidic environment, allowing it to reach the digestive system and positively support digestive health when consumed daily.
 
“Today’s consumer seeks foods and beverages that deliver multiple solutions, so we wanted to offer a powerful protein option to satisfy those needs, packing our first multi-functional beverage with the same digestive benefits as our existing probiotic drinks, and adding a beneficial 15 grams of plant-based protein,” said Alan Murray, CEO of GoodBelly. “We know consumers are busy, whether a working professional, parent or athlete, who want an easier way to get a daily dose of digestive health support, plus powerful plant-protein in a convenient on-the-go bottle.”
 
Probi Digestis’ LP299V has sustained more than 20 research trials over two decades. GoodBelly Protein Shakes contain 40 billion live and active cultures per bottle, in addition to chickpea protein. Ideal for active consumers, athletes, or anyone who needs an on-the-go protein boost. Like all other GoodBelly products, GoodBelly Protein Shakes are Non-GMO Project Verified, dairy-free, soy-free, vegan and kosher.
