# High-Fiber Children's Snack Bars The Piccolo Mighty Banana & Cocoa Oaty Bars are 100% Vegan By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2021-10-02 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mighty-banana-cocoa-oaty-bars References: [foodbev](https://www.foodbev.com/news/piccolo-expands-childrens-snack-range/) & [mylittlepiccolo](https://www.mylittlepiccolo.com) The Piccolo Mighty Banana & Cocoa Oaty Bars are one of the latest offerings from the baby food brand focused on providing children with a flavorful product that doesn't skimp on nutrition. The bars feature a high-fiber recipe that boasts soft-textured multigrain and inulin, while also featuring no added sugar, salt, palm oil or saturated fat in the mix. The bars are suited for children aged one-year and up, and feature a 100% vegan recipe that's also gluten-free. Infant Nutritionist and Piccolo Co-Founder Alice Fotheringham spoke on the new Piccolo Mighty Banana & Cocoa Oaty Bars saying, "It can be difficult for parents to find snacks that strike the right balance between having nutritional benefits and being convenient. We want to change that – so we make sure each of our snacking lines incorporates fibre-rich ingredients, which is really important to support their digestive systems, appetite and growth.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **High-fiber Children's Snacks:** This trend presents opportunities for the development of more high-fiber snacks specifically formulated for children. - **Vegan Snack Bars:** This trend presents opportunities for companies to develop more vegan snack options for children. - **Gluten-free Snacks:** This trend presents opportunities for the creation of more gluten-free snacks for children. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Baby Food:** The baby food industry can capitalize on this trend by developing more high-fiber, vegan and gluten-free snack options for children. - **Snack Foods:** The snack food industry can develop high-fiber, vegan and gluten-free snack options for children, thus catering to their nutritional requirements. - **Health Food:** The health food industry can leverage this trend by developing nutritional snack options that cater to children's specific dietary needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Kid-Friendly Nutritional Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutritional-bars-for-kids.md) - [Gourmet Organic Breakfast Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-gourmet-organic-fruit.md) - [Low-Sugar Superhero Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weetabix-oaty-bars.md) - [Toddler-Targeted Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yumi-superfood-veggie-organic-bars.md) - [Oven-Baked Fruit Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/softbaked-bars-for-kids.md) - [Refrigerated Oat Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refrigerated-oat-bars.md) - [Soft-Baked Granola Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-baked-granola-bites.md) - [Allergen-Inclusive Child Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oat-fruit-bars.md) - [Gut-Supporting Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biome-bars.md)
