Vital Farm produces a variety of products with eggs from pasture-raised hens and now it is venturing into the creation of egg and cheese snacks. The chilled, single-serve Egg Bites are made with mozzarella or cheddar and one pack contains two gluten-free egg and cheese muffins that are packed with between 16 to 18 grams of protein.
The Egg Bites are launching in flavors like Bacon & Cheddar Cheese and Sun-Dried Tomato, Basil & Mozzarella Cheese. As many consumers are looking for simple, natural snacks that are full of protein, these ones share an option that focuses on real ingredients as opposed to other sources of protein. Protein-packed egg snacks are becoming especially popular for this reason, as they are naturally fresh, portable and easy to pair with a variety of other ingredients.
