SAN FERNANDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Have you ever enjoyed a fun weekend of watching football, only to feel like you got tackled and your stomach got sacked on Monday? Sounds like you’ve suffered a food hangover - don’t worry – we’ve all had one. The symptoms can be uncomfortable and embarrassing: from lethargy, bloating, difficulty concentrating, upset stomach, and even nausea. You know that lousy feeling isn’t caused from alcohol, but by a gut overload of fat, salt, sugar, caffeine, spices, or simply too much food. Overdoing the party platter is not encouraged, but we’ve all done it. Thankfully, incorporating healthy probiotics (or “good bacteria”) into your regular diet can help manage bloating, alleviate chronic gas, and support digestive health. Even when game day snacking puts your tummy into overtime.
Probiotic and calcium rich, Blue Isle Mediterranean Yogurt Spreads (BlueIsleSpread.com) are the new cream cheese. Blue Isle is made from the healthy goodness of fresh, rBST-free milk, including live active and probiotic cultures, and calcium but no added sugar. Blue Isle contains 180% less sodium per serving than the leading cream cheese. With only 60 calories and 6g of fat per 2 tbsp serving, Blue Isle has nearly 40% fewer calories and fat than the leading cream cheese. Blue Isle is both natural and OU Kosher certified.
While the health benefits are clear, Blue Isle’s delicious flavor and delectable texture are the real factors making this new product the over-achieving cousin to traditional cream cheese. The spreads can be used as an alternative to cream cheese spread, a dip, in cooking, or just as an exotic “good for you” treat.
Blue Isle is available for purchase at Harmon’s, Mollie Stones, Central Market, Fiesta Mart, The Fresh Market, New Seasons, H-E-B, Lucky’s, QFC, Fred Meyer, Jon’s Marketplace, Strack and Van Til, at natural food stores and better supermarkets nationwide.
