*CLOSED* The GoodBelly 12 DAY CHALLENGE & GIVEAWAY

I’m interrupting your regularly scheduled programming to talk about something other than pet products :gasps heard throughout the blogosphere:!  LOL!  I know it has been a while since I have blogged about pet parent “stuff” so here it goes!

I recently found a product that I really wanted to share with you here: GoodBelly Probiotic Juice Drink.  I don’t know about you but I want my belly to be full of stellar bacteria that knocks out the bad bacteria, keeping my innards happy.  For someone who has had 3 colonoscopies at the young age of 43 – having as much good bacteria as one can possible have is a necessity.  So, to keep my belly happy, GoodBelly is THE product to do the trick.

Here is some info from their website:

GoodBelly is a juicy and delicious probiotic drink that contains live & active probiotic cultures. GoodBelly Probiotic Juice Drinks are dairy-free, soy-free and vegan.  Just right for those of you who experience digestive upset from these common food sensitivities and anybody who loves the refreshing taste of juice.  GoodBelly Probiotic Drinks are available in several great tasting varieties and unique flavor combinations. Here’s a quick look at our products:

• GoodBelly products contain Lactobacillus plantarum299v (Lp299v), one of the most well studied probiotic cultures available on the market.
• GoodBelly may promote healthy digestion when consumed daily as a part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.*
• GoodBelly’s probiotic juice drinks are certified organic (with the exception of black currant and coconut water varieties, due to a limited organic supply.)
• All of our probiotic juice drinks are dairy-free, soy-free and entirely vegan.
• GoodBelly’s probiotic drinks come in a medley of original flavors:
• Pomegranate Blackberry
• Cranberry Watermelon
• Mango
• Blueberry Acai
• Strawberry
• Lemon Ginger
• Vanilla Chamomile
• Coconut Water
• Tropical Green
• Tropical Orange
• Pink Grapefruit

GoodBelly has a contest going on right now that I wanted to share!  They are offering a $2000 giftcard to one lucky GoodBelly lover.  Click here to reach their entry page.  You’ll then just be a click away from entering to win a $2000 gift card to Whole Foods Market (or other retailer in your area). PLUS, when you enter, Team GoodBelly will donate $1 to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America.  Our friend Kari over at Hound Girl has Crohn’s Disease, so I can’t wait to show her this.  To learn more about this contest, and to see the rules, click here.

I signed up for their 12-Day Challenge and received a couple of coupons to kick-start my challenge.  I could only find 3 flavors at my local grocery store, one of them being my favorite flavor so far: Pomegranate Blackberry.  I was hoping to try their Coconut Water because I LOVE coconut water, so when  couldn’t find it I emailed them and they found it at another location within my city.  So, the next time I am on that side of town I am going to look for it.

Interest in probiotics is on the rise right now as they have been known for treatment of gastrointestinal problems.  There are a number of probiotic products on the market today- yogurts, drinks, supplements.  To be honest, I got sick of yogurt and just couldn’t bring myself to eating it anymore.

I love this juice – not only because it tastes good but because it works for me.  I get the 1 qt cartons, which has 4 servings.  Each 8 oz serving is 110 calories.
