# Multi-Collagen Snack Bites Elavi's Snack Bars Contain Both Marine and Bovine Collagen By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2021-03-22 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collagen-snack-bites References: [foodbusinessnews.net](https://www.foodbusinessnews.net/articles/18200-multi-collagen-the-next-big-thing-in-functional-ingredients) & [elavi.co](https://www.elavi.co/) [Elavi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superfood-nut-butter) is introducing unique multi-collagen snack bites made with marine and bovine collagen peptides, helping to make collagen snackable in a form other than powders or capsules. The plant protein bites combine the benefits of marine collagen for skin, hair and nails with grass-fed bovine collagen for digestive health. The fact that the startup's collagen bites are plant-based is significant. as Elavi co-founder Michelle Razavi says regarding collagen, “On its own, it doesn’t hold liquid well together. A lot of oil separation happens, and we experienced that in the first couple of prototypes. That’s why a lot of bars use whey. To have a [collagen protein bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/more-less-protein-gummies) that’s non-dairy is incredibly hard.” The bites are powered by pea protein, almond protein powder, cashew butter and coconut oil, plus goji berries, cacao nibs and organic dates for sweetness. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multi-collagen Snacks:** The rise of multi-collagen snack bites presents an opportunity for companies to create unique protein-packed products that cater to various nutritional demands. - **Plant-based Protein:** Creating collagen-based bars that are plant-based presents an opportunity for companies to cater to the growing plant-based movement while still maintaining the health benefits of collagen. - **Non-dairy Protein Bars:** Creating non-dairy collagen-based protein bars can present an opportunity for companies to tap into the health-conscious, lactose intolerant demographic who still want to boost their collagen intake. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food:** Creating innovative collagen-infused snacks and protein bars can help food companies tap into the growing demand for healthier, functional snacks and supplements. - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Collagen-infused snacks and supplements are becoming more popular in the beauty and personal care industry, presenting an opportunity for companies to expand their product lines and tap into this trend. - **Sports and Fitness:** Collagen protein is becoming increasingly popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts due to its muscle-building and joint-repairing benefits, presenting an opportunity for companies to develop collagen-infused products that appeal to this market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collagen-Rich Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refuel-protein-bar.md) - [Fish Collagen Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dolcas-biotech.md) - [Free-From Protein Bar Ingredients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelita-optibar.md) - [Edible Collagen Jelly Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collagen-jelly-stick.md) - [Multitasking Protein Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vital-proteins-collagen-protein-shake.md) - [Collagen-Rich Protein Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collagen-shake.md) - [Functional Beverage Collagen Ingredients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morikol-marine-collagen.md) - [Printed Collagen Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collagen-stacks.md) - [Three-Ingredient Collagen Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-collagen-advanced.md)
