These plant-powered, organic tortilla chips are offered in varieties like Sea Salt, Nacho and Salsa Verde, all of which can easily be eaten alone or paired with salsa for an even more satisfying snack. Notably, the brand's Nacho variety is a dairy-free flavor that gets its bold color and taste from a nacho seasoning blend, turmeric, bell pepper and tomatoes. As well as making these nutritional snacks, Soñar Foods is passionate about empowering the Latino community, as it shares the stories and faces of Latino youth on its packaging and shares a percentage of its profits with the Latino Community Foundation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - 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) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Plant-based Snacks:** Opportunities for companies to create and market plant-based snacks that are also rich in protein and fiber. - **Dairy-free Options:** Opportunities for companies to create dairy-free snack options that still deliver bold flavors and colors. - **Empowering Packaging:** Opportunities for companies to use packaging that highlights the stories and faces of underrepresented communities to make a social impact. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Production Industry:** Manufacturing plant-based and dairy-free snacks that appeal to health-conscious consumers, especially those who follow a plant-based diet. - **Packaging Industry:** Designing packaging that tells a story and creates an emotional connection with consumers, while showcasing the values of the brand. - **Non-profit Industry:** Partnering with ethical businesses that give back to underrepresented communities, such as Soñar Foods' partnership with the Latino Community Foundation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cactus-Forward Tortilla Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-arte-sano.md) - [Nutritious Free-From Snack Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caulitos.md) - [Pea-Powered Protein Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utopea-ah.md) - [Chaya-Made Tortilla Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yax-chaya-tortilla-chips.md) - [Grain-Free Baked Crisps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savory-crisps.md) - [Clean Ingredient Tortilla Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/island-time-chips.md) - [Store-Brand Tortilla Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storebrand-tortilla-chips.md) - [Protein-Rich Tortilla Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restaurant-style-protein-chips.md) - [Piquant Plant-Based Tortilla Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-nacho-cheeze-tortilla-chips.md)
