The truth is, if you eat a healthy whole-food plant-based diet, you'll actually get all the probiotics your body needs. Vegetables, fermented foods, and other plant-based goodies all contain built-in pro- and prebiotics and appear to naturally modulate your gut flora. But if you'd like to be extra sure you're keeping things in balance — or just had to take antibiotics and are feeling thrown off — having a good vegan probiotic on hand can't hurt. As opposed to dairy-based probiotics, which may actually be counterproductive to improving your digestion since most people have trouble digesting dairy, vegan probiotics are a much healthier and humane option. These seven vegan probiotics are the best reviewed out there.

Deva Vegan Probiotic

This Deva Vegan Probiotic ($10) has 2 billion CFUs (CFUs are the bacterial cells that grow into a visible colony on a petri dish — it's thought that the more present in a probiotic, the better), and one probiotic strand. While this is a little less strong than other brands on this list, it also seems to be the most affordable.
