GoodBelly Organic Prebiotic Sparkling Water: Refreshing Gut Health
Pioneering gut health since the launch of its first product in 2009, GoodBelly introduces new Prebiotic Sparkling Water, the brand’s first product featuring gut-healthy prebiotics from Blue Agave, providing a good source of fiber (3g) and zero added sugar (20 calories or less) in every serving. The new drinks come in three refreshingly delicious flavors – Mixed Berry, Lemon Lime and Mango Pineapple. Made with real fruit juice, each flavor supports healthy digestion and is Certified Organic, Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten-Free and Kosher.
With this launch, GoodBelly continues to pioneer thoughtfully crafted beverages that are good for bodies and sustainably sourced. Blue Agave requires no irrigation and no fertilizing to grow. The Blue Agave fiber in GoodBelly Prebiotic Sparkling Waters is organic and produced using sustainable agricultural production practices. Prebiotics, like those in Blue Agave fiber, work together with probiotics to help provide digestive benefits. This makes Prebiotic Sparkling Water a great pairing with GoodBelly’s full line of probiotic products including juice drinks, shots, supplements and fast melts.
“NextFoods always innovates with health and sustainability in mind, from lowering sugar to introducing convenient new formats. We took that approach with the launch of GoodBelly Prebiotic Sparkling Water and the careful selection of Blue Agave prebiotic fiber,” said Juan Gluth, Chief Commercial Officer of NextFoods. “With billions of views on social media, gut health is certainly top of mind for consumers. The GoodBelly business has witnessed remarkable growth, doubling sales over the last decade, and we are excited to bring something entirely new to meet this growing demand for healthy digestion.”
GoodBelly Prebiotic Sparkling Waters will be available in Sprouts Farmers Market stores and on Amazon in Spring 2024.
