Nature's Garden Probiotic FruiChias Named Good Housekeeping 2025 Snack Awards Winner

Totowa, NJ – Nature’s Garden announced today that its Probiotic FruiChias -- snacks made with real fruit puree and chia seeds -- were chosen as a Good Housekeeping 2025 Snack Award recipient. 

Nature’s Garden Probiotic FruiChias were launched in late 2024 and have become a favorite among millennial moms and GenZ alike. FruiChias come in strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry flavors.

“We’re honored to receive our second Snack Award from Good Housekeeping,” said Emre Imamoglu, CEO and co-founder of Cibo Vita. “Nature’s Garden was founded on the principle of purposeful, healthy snacking, and it’s especially meaningful to be recognized again—our Probiotic Apricots earned the same distinction in 2021.”

Cibo Vita’s patented microencapsulated delivery system allows for its high-quality probiotic strain to remain shelf-stable, ensuring it reaches the gut intact with full absorption for maximum digestive benefit. Each serving of FruiChias contains 2 billion microencapsulated probiotics. They feature 90 calories and 4 grams of dietary fiber per serving. FruiChias are free from added sugars, dairy, artificial colors or flavors, are non-GMO, gluten-free, and kosher.

The individually packaged servings come in a 24-count multipack containing 1-oz snack packs. FruiChias are created for both children and adults and are convenient for on-the-go snacking.

Research has shown that Lactobacillus probiotic supplementation regulates healthy gut microbiome, improves cognitive function, reduces stress & inflammation and boosts immunity.

In keeping with its focus of creating high quality functional foods, Nature’s Garden is continuously investing in R&D to create new ways to combine the inherent goodness of fruit with the digestive wellness benefits of probiotics.
