CBB Reviews: Bellybar – want to be a tester?

The Bellybar family of products is growing with its latestaddition—Bellybar Shakes! A complete line of delicious, all-naturalnutrition foods and beverages for women before, during and after pregnancy,Bellybar products offer women the tastes they crave and the nutrition theyneed.

The entire line of products is great for before, during and
after pregnancy, whether or not you are nursing. They’re packed with nutrients specifically for that time in a woman’s life. The shakes, which are brand spanking new, are really great for during nursing though, as nursing women are THIRSTY and this tastes great and has DHA, calcium, plus others. DHA has been shown in some studies to help with mood postpartum, and all of their products are rich in Omega-3 DHA. 

Bellybar products include Bellybars, Bellybar Chews, and Bellybar Shakes and are available at Babies R Us, Mimi Maternity, Motherhood Maternity, Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Wegmans, HEB, online, at BellyBarProducts.com, and other stores. You can even download a coupon here.
