The product boasts a 100% natural ingredient profile that has no added sugar and six-grams of [plant-based protein](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-protein-product) to make it a healthful way to satisfy a sweet tooth craving. The bars boast cold-pressed cherry juice that imparts a rich, tart taste that will work well with the nuts in the recipe. The bars are arriving in the UK in both single packs and multipacks priced at £1.38 and £3.30, respectively. Marketing Director at [Lotus Natural Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lotus-biscoff) Jo Agnew commented on the Nakd Protein Cherry Bars saying, "With so much of the fixture focused on chocolate and caramel flavours, there’s clear appetite for something a little different. Cherry is the perfect next step — it’s a flavour shoppers already love, it’s on trend, and it brings a lighter, fruity option into the range." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 65% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Cherry-flavored Nutrition:** The rise in cherry-flavored alternatives offers opportunities for brands to diversify their portfolio with this trending fruit taste. - **Plant-based Protein Innovation:** Developments in plant-based protein sources provide ample room for crafting nutritive snack options that appeal to health-conscious consumers. - **Natural Ingredient Demand:** An increasing preference for natural ingredients and minimal processing drives innovation in creating clean-label food products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Health Snacks:** Expansion of health-focused snacks that combine taste with nutrition signals a shift in consumer preferences toward better-for-you alternatives. - **Fruit-infused Products:** Emerging fruit-infused products demonstrate the value of integrating natural flavors to cater to evolving consumer tastes. - **Sustainable Food Packaging:** Growing interest in eco-friendly packaging options aligns with the need for sustainable practices in the snack food sector. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Protein Low-Sugar Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trek-high-protein-bars.md) - [Cafe-Inspired Vegan Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barebells-vegan-bars.md) - [Extra-Chocolatey Mini Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfect-bar-double-chocolate-mini.md) - [Chocolate-Forward Protein Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kind-snacks-protein-max-bars.md) - [Cherry Chocolate Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aloha-chocolate-cherry.md) - [Low-Sugar Protein Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trek.md) - [Dubai-Style Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-dubai-chocolate.md) - [Crispy Nut-Packed Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pip-nut-protein-bars.md) - [Pistachio-Filled Chocolate Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubite-protein-bar.md)
