*The folks at Genuine Health sent me some their products to try out. The following thoughts are my own, and my son’s! They have not been influenced.*
Fermented Vegan Proteins:
First I want to say that I actively use protein powders and bars as part of my lifestyle. I have tried many. I was interested in trying this product by Genuine Health for many reasons. The first being that it is Vegan. Although I eat healthy in general my cholesterol tends to run high, and using a vegan product means zero added cholesterol. Score! Another plus I found to this product is that because of the fermentation process this product is easier to digest and causes no bloating. I have experienced bloating with protein drinks. I love that I don’t have this problem with this one.
How did it taste?
I tried both the Vanilla and Chocolate. I liked them both the same. I mixed them with water only. While there is a slight chalky taste at first, there is no after taste. I like that. They are also low in Fat and Carbohydrates. It’s perfect for what I’m looking for in my lifestyle. Soy-free, Gluten-free, Vegan and NON-GMO.
You can get the same fermented vegan proteins in bar form for grab and go.
Fermented Greek Yogurt Proteins+
Fermented Greek yogurt protein is 25% better absorbed! Once again no bloating and helps in the digestion process. I mixed this product with skim milk to give me a bit more protein. It also contains no fat! This was a bit more powder than the Vegan proteins. I should have made a smoothie. It would have been easier to get the clumps out. The Vanilla taste was great, less chalky, and enjoyable. You cannot use this product if you have allergies to dairy, but it is gluten-free and NON-GMO.
Advanced Gut Health Probiotic:
I love this product! I have been taking a probiotic for years now. Personally I can tell when I haven’t had any. My gut just feels better when I take them daily. I like these because they come in a shelf-stable blister pack so I don’t have to worry about refrigerating them. A big plus when you travel! The plastic free capsules are easy to swallow. (You do however need some care getting them out of the pack as they are delicate.)

Alicia Taylor says
I love that they are vegan and Non-GMO. Those two things are very important to me. I think I would like the Advanced Gut Health Probiotic. My husband gets frequent bowel upsets and uses probiotics to treat it.
Kaycee says
I’m not particularly into probiotics, I guess that’s something vegetarians need? I’m doing Paleo and everything I need comes from my diet. Can you tell me why someone would really need probiotics?
Milena Barrett says
No, It has nothing to do with being a vegetarian. Probiotics are live microorganisms similar to the ones already living in your gut and may offer health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. They can help with gut health and immunity. Many times if you are taking antibiotics a doctor will tell you to also take a probiotic to ease of the chance of yeast infections. The reasons people take them are varied. For me, it has to do with bloating. I notice when I take them. ( For the record, I am not a vegetarian.)
Rebecca Bryant says
I am all for a healthy gut. I currently take a probiotic daily so will definitely be checking these out as I like the way they sound. Thanks for giving me a new option.
Carrie Chance says
It’s great to see a vegan option that is also soy free. I’m not vegan(I used to be vegetarian) but it’s so hard to avoid soy these days.
Kristin says
Vegan protein is my favorite. These look great, I’ll have to give them a try!
Lois Alter Mark says
My husband and daughter are vegetarian and I always worry that they’re not getting enough protein. I’m going to look into this for both of them. I think it could really help them.
keikilani says
I am totally convinced that probiotics are essential for my family! Both my kids and I take one and I see the difference.
Brandi Crawford says
I am a huge fan of Greek yogurt but hadn’t heard about fermented Greek yogurt or the benefits. You’ve inspired me to check out these products.
Alecia says
I try to keep a bottle of kefir in my fridge to get in my probiotics but I am terrible at keeping track of my personal food and run out once in a while. I’d love to have probiotic pills as a back up for those days!
Ali Gilbert says
We just started back at our low carb diet so this is PERFECT! I definitely will be trying these. Thanks for the tip!!
