# Satiating Snack Bars Probar's Newest Meal On-the-Go Bars are Gluten-Free & Packed with Superfoods By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-07-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meal-on-the-go References: [foodbusinessnews.net](https://www.foodbusinessnews.net/media/photos/4058-new-on-the-shelves) & [shop.theprobar](http://shop.theprobar.com/Products/PROBAR-Meal/) Probar's Meal On-the-Go bars provide a fast and efficient way to fuel the body with high-quality nutrients from nut butter, seeds, nuts and fruits. The satiating, gluten-free bars are now offered in naturally flavored Blueberry Muffin and S'Mores varieties, which boast up to 10 grams of protein per bar. Both of these plant-based meal bars are notably blended and not baked, a choice that Probar uses to help keep the raw ingredients as potent as possible for long-lasting energy. The demand for meal replacement bars is being driven by factors like busy lifestyles, rising health consciousness and demand for conveniently packaged food products that are dense with nutritional value. As an alternative to drinkable meal replacements and powders, consumers are turning to edible bars that are mess-free and filled with flavor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Meal Replacement Bars:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative flavors and ingredients for meal replacement bars to cater to the rising demand for convenient, nutrient-dense food products. - **Plant-based Nutrition:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create plant-based meal bars with high protein content to meet the needs of health-conscious consumers seeking sustainable and ethical food options. - **Blended, Not Baked:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore blending techniques to preserve raw ingredient potency and create long-lasting energy bars with enhanced nutritional benefits. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Health Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new meal replacement bar formulations and flavors to cater to the growing demand for healthier snacking options. - **Food Packaging Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design innovative, mess-free packaging solutions for meal replacement bars to enhance convenience and appeal to on-the-go consumers. - **Plant-based Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Invest in research and development of innovative plant-based ingredients and technologies to create sustainable and nutritious meal bars. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Grab-and-Go Meal Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meal-onthego-bars.md) - [Health-Conscious Probiotic Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/probiotic-protein-bar.md) - [Gut-Supporting Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biome-bars.md) - [Nutrient-Packed Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-protein-ammmaze-bars.md) - [Savory On-the-Go Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savory-bars.md) - [Convenient Protein Breakfast Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apricot-fig-breakfast-bar.md) - [All-Day Snacking Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-source-foods.md) - [Organic Plant-Based Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-plantbased-protein-bars.md) - [Smoothie-Inspired Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-valley-protein-smoothie-bars.md)
