PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Chiara Rota for My Cooking Box-Bellycious

NEW YORK, NY (MARCH 2026) – Bellycious launches Premium Gut-Friendly Italian Meal Kits across the U.S.

Bellycious launches home-cooked Italian cuisine with a line of Low FODMAP meal kits designed for those who want bold flavor without digestive discomfort. Crafted with pasta made from black rice and quinoa and paired with rich deluxe sauces, each kit delivers an authentic Italian experience in under 15 minutes and can be completed with a choice of protein for a one-pan meal.

“I asked myself why anyone should have to choose between feeling good and eating good. Bellycious became the answer,” says Chiara, founder of Bellycious. “It’s for everyone: no bloating, no gluten, no lactose, but never without flavor.”

Every recipe is carefully developed to be Low FODMAP, gluten-free, lactose-free, and free from garlic and onion, making them suitable not only for those with IBS but also for anyone with dietary restrictions. The products carry Non-GMO, Clean Label Purity Award, Gluten-Free GFCO, and Monash Low FODMAP certifications, featuring natural, high-quality ingredients without artificial additives, preservatives, or colorings.

The Bellycious collection includes recipes inspired by Italy’s most iconic dishes, carefully adapted to be as authentic as they are gut friendly.

Among the most popular recipes are In Penne We Trust, a pasta with arrabbiata sauce and sausage, Chicken in a Green Dream, a chicken pesto pasta, A Veggie Love Affair, a pasta with puttanesca sauce and zucchini, and Meat the Tomato Fusilli, a comforting beef bolognese pasta.

Since its launch in 2025, Bellycious has expanded rapidly, now available in over 600 stores across the U.S., including The Fresh Market, Hy-Vee, Better Health Market, Sendik’s Food Market, Fruitful Yield, and Roche Bros.

Bellycious isn’t just food. It’s a way to enjoy Italy on your plate while feeling good in your gut. Every meal combines tradition, taste, and wellness with comfort and flavor in every bite.
