Juice Review: Odwalla Superfoods and Smoothies

I was sick over the past few days, so I haven't been cooking anything blog-worthy. I did make this really spicy soup that made me feel a thousand times better, but other than that, I haven't really had much of an appetite.

As a result, I picked up these Odwalla Fruit Smoothies so that I could at least get some nutrients in me. The green one is the company's "Original Superfood, " which blends a bunch of super foods with spirulina,  and the orange smoothie is "Mango Tango," which has mangoes, bananas, apples, and oranges in it.  They are both delicious and 100% vegan. They're fruity and sweet (and delectable). I like to drink them for breakfast and for snacks during the day. They're good for times when you don't have the ingredients or the time to make a green smoothie, but still want to reap the benefits of one.

Whether you're looking for an immune system boost or just some energy to get you through the rest of the day, you should definitely try Odwalla products. Look for them in grocery stores, pharmacies, and health food stores. Your can usually find them at gas stations and quick marts too. I found these ones at Walgreens while I was stocking up on medicine and Vitamin C.

Product Review: Good Belly Probiotic Juice Drink

While visiting the health food store to pick up some Daiya vegan mozzarella the other day, I came across Good Belly Probiotic Juice Drink. Because I really believe in the use of probiotics for digestive health, and because I was craving a good fruit juice, I decided to try it.

There were 3 different flavors: Mango, Blueberry Acai, and Strawberry. I decided to go with the Blueberry Acai. There's nothing like superfruit to make you feel better. According to Good Belly's website, this is the only probiotic juice drink like it in the US. You can also find it in Europe. They recommend that you drink 8 ounces of this drink a day for 12 days to really feel results.

I really like to drink this juice with ice, and though I haven't reached the 12-day-mark yet, I'm feeling better. I'm not bloated, and my stomach isn't bothering me at all. The flavor is good, it has a little bit of a weird aftertaste, but I've found that the ice eliminates that a bit. I'm thinking about adding this to a smoothie, so I'll have to let you know how that turns out.

If you're looking for a good, vegan probiotic product that's not a pill, I definitely recommend this juice drink.

Find it at: Whole Foods, Wegman's, Local Health Food Stores. (Good Belly's website has a store locator).
