While most trail mix recipes are nut-based, On the Go Fusion is introducing a trio of inventive, protein-rich trail mix packs that prominently feature edamame as the main ingredient.
The naturally low-sodium, gluten-free, cholesterol-free and preservative-free snacks feature combinations of dried fruits, nuts, seeds and indulgent additions like coconut chips and dried cherries. On the Go Fusion's trail mix packs are offered in Edamame + Berries Fusion, Edamame + Goji Berry Fusion and Edamame Tropical Fusion varieties, all of which contain roasted and salted edamame beans as a base.
Food brands are continuously reinventing trail mix snacks with sweet and savory additions but these new edamame-based blends stand out as nourishing options that have the potential to satisfy a consumer's desire for a source of flavorful and conveniently packed plant-based protein.
