Kid-Friendly Carob Bars

Supertreats Makes a Healthy Alternative to Chocolate for Kids with Carob

— May 30, 2018 — Lifestyle
Carob is recognized as a healthy alternative to chocolate, with its major benefits being that it does not contain caffeine or theobromine like cocoa.

Supertreats offers chocolate substitutes for kids that are made with carob, which boasts the same texture and shine as chocolate, as well as the ability to snap into smaller pieces. Supertreats makes minimally processed carob bars that are packed with superfood add-ins like blueberries and Madagascan vanilla. The newest addition to Supertreats' line of healthy alternatives to chocolate is the decadent Cheery Chia, which pairs a base of carob with pure orange oil and chia seeds.

In its fight against sugary chocolates, Supertreats educates parents on "energy robbers" like refined sugar, caffeine and theobromine.
Trend Themes
1. Carob-based Kids Snacks - The rise of carob as a healthier substitute for chocolate presents an opportunity for businesses to market kid-friendly carob-based snacks.
2. Superfood Add-ins for Snacks - The inclusion of superfood add-ins like blueberries and chia seeds in snacks presents a chance to enhance the nutritional value of products and promote health benefits.
3. Educational Marketing for Healthy Snacks - Educating parents on the detrimental effects of refined sugar, caffeine, and theobromine in popular children's snacks and offering healthier alternatives presents a marketing opportunity.
Industry Implications
1. Healthy Snack Industry - The healthy snack industry could benefit from creating and marketing carob-based snacks with superfood add-ins to appeal to health-conscious parents.
2. Children's Food Industry - The children's food industry has an opportunity to disrupt the traditional chocolate market by offering a healthier alternative in the form of carob-based snacks to capitalize on the growing trend of health-conscious parenting.
3. Educational Marketing Industry - The educational marketing industry could collaborate with companies offering healthy snacks to inform parents on the importance of healthy eating habits for their children.
