Prehistoric Protein Bars

The Cave Foods Paleo Protein Bars are Branded with a Massive Mammoth

— February 24, 2016 — Lifestyle
The latest product created by Cave Foods are these prehistoric paleo protein bars that feature a massive, shaggy mammoth as a promotional mascot. The reason that the design team at 'Darling Brands' used a mammoth was to emphasize Cave Foods' commitment to products that are authentically old-fashioned.

The brand creates food products that are "hand crafted, gluten free, Primal and low in sugar" -- just like meals enjoyed by cavemen. Additionally, the use of a massive mammoth hopes to attract the brand's consumer demographic of gym buffs and fitness enthusiasts.

Each package is made from paper products, which have been vacuum-sealed to ensure freshness, flavor and proper texture. The brand maintains a cohesive image producing strictly paleo products, featuring a rugged mascot and using minimalist eco-friendly packaging.
Trend Themes
1. Paleo Protein Bars - Opportunity for developing protein bars made for the Paleo diet that include authentic, old-fashioned and handcrafted ingredients.

3. Low-sugar Foods - Opportunity to create food products low in sugar for health-conscious consumers that cater to gym buffs and fitness enthusiasts such as Cave Foods' protein bars.
Industry Implications

2. Sustainable Packaging - There is an opportunity to create more eco-friendly packaging designs such as the minimalist packaging used for Cave Foods' prehistoric protein bars.
3. Sports Nutrition Products - The market for sports nutrition products such as protein bars that are low in sugar and cater to gym buffs and fitness enthusiasts is expanding, providing opportunities for innovation and development in this industry.
