“Our new protein pouches change the game, delivering functional nutrition — plant protein and the highest quality prebiotic fiber — meeting the growing need for snacks that promote better digestion, energy and overall wellness,” said David Istier, founder of gutzy Organic, in a statement. “Our mission is to create snacks that support digestion and energy, and balance the microbiome, while fitting into a busy lifestyle with the cleanest ingredients possible.”

The Mango pouch blends the creamy sweetness of bananas with tropical mango, pineapple, guava and passion fruit for a refreshing burst of flavor, the company says. Meanwhile, the Cherry Berry Acai pouch combines dark cherries, blueberries, apples and antioxidant-rich açaí for a bold, berry-rich treat, it notes.

With no artificial additives, added sugars, or preservatives, both pouches are gluten-free, dairy-free, fewer than 110 calories in each pouch, a good source of protein, and high in fiber — all while offering a creamy texture you wouldn't expect from a plant-based smoothie, the company says.

gutzy Organic Prebiotic Plant Protein Smoothie Pouches are available at Publix, Meijer, HEB, and Stop & Shop stores now, with more retailers to follow, it notes.
