Brands are releasing nutrient-rich breakfast bars designed for young children
Trend - CPG brands are releasing flavored breakfast bars designed for children. These breakfast bars are made soft and easy-to-chew, while also being rich in nutrients. These are designed to replace occasional breakfasts for children during busy days.
Insight - Parents with busy schedules may not always have time to prepare full balanced breakfasts for their children. However, most parents do not want to give their kids non-nutritious breakfasts, such as fast-food meals or microwave meals, when busy. As a result, these parents seek out solutions that are quick and easy to serve, but do not compromise on health or nutritional value. Brands are responding to these pressures with convenient breakfast bars designed specifically for younger children.
