You don’t have compromise on taste or nutrition.

The hype around probiotics isn’t going anywhere. And according to Ganenden’s 2017 SSI Consumers Survey, 79 percent of shoppers say they prefer to consume probiotics in food and beverage products rather than supplements. While many of us would reach for a bottle of kombucha for our fix of the digestion-helping bacteria, some can’t get past the vinegar taste. If you belong to the second camp (myself included) or simply want to up your probiotic intake, try one of these snacks that don’t compromise on taste or nutrition. Your tummy will thank you.
Sauerkraut and plant-based probiotics serve as the base of
these crunchy, gluten-free snacks that are an easy swap for your go-to tortilla
or pita chips. Available in a variety of flavors (think Sea Salt to Smoked Jalapeño), these crisps are equal parts addictive and good for you.
Available in five flavors ranging from refreshing watermelon
to a spicy, cayenne-infused lemonade, these 10-calorie cold-pressed juices house
two billion colony forming units (CFUs) of vegan probiotics to promote gut
health with every sip.
The brand’s first-ever non–Greek yogurt recipe, these
velvety yogurts are made with natural, non-GMO ingredients (read: no artificial
sweeteners) and feature 25 percent less sugar and twice as much protein (11
grams!) than other leading options for a snack you can feel good about.
If making any smoothie or protein shake taste like a holiday cookie while delivering a full serving of fruits and vegetables isn’t enough,
this superfood powder also packs a beauty-boosting punch as adaptogens, enzymes,
probiotics and antioxidants take center stage at only 30 calories per serving.
You’ll never reach for plain pumpkin seeds again after
trying these flavor-packed options. Choose between Spicy Chocolate, Banana
Cinnamon, Cheesy Chipotle or Lemon Teriyaki—each are crunchy and TL—then reap
the health-boosting, digestive benefits.
You wouldn’t know this creamy butter is packed with probiotics,
flax seeds and 65 percent more protein than similar until you read the label, and
the squeeze tube makes snacking on-the-go easy (each package delivers around five servings). If you’re not a chocolate fan,
try the Roasted Almond Butter or Organic Valencia Peanut butter, both also
infused with tummy-helping probiotics.
Instead of snacking on sugary sweets that deliver no
nutritional benefit, keep this these probiotic-infused chocolates nearby and
munch on one when your sweet tooth kicks in before bed. Combining antioxidants,
raw cacao and a probiotic blend, you’ll wake up with a flatter, happier tummy.
At 20 billion probiotic cultures per serving, these
20-calorie bottles will remind you of smooth spa water (but with flavors like
Watermelon Lime, Orange Pineapple Basil and Lemon Ginger instead of the usual
cucumber) and are even better for you than a day of TLC.
