In the same way that RXBAR makes its whole food protein bars with simple, all-natural ingredients, it will be introducing oat cups with the same philosophy. Just like the way RXBAR products are packaged with wrappers that clearly spell out the few ingredients that go into the making of each product, the all-new RX Oats adopt the same style and even some of the same ingredients.

Egg whites are commonly used as a source of natural protein in RXBARs and the RX Oats combine egg white protein with almonds, dates and oats for a quick, easy and nourishing portable breakfast. These grab-and-go oatmeal cups are set to be introduced to consumers in three flavors: Apple Cinnamon, Chocolate and Maple.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Health Food Industry:** The health food industry can capitalize on the trend of minimal ingredient breakfasts by creating and marketing products that prioritize simplicity and naturalness.
- **Packaging Industry:** The packaging industry has an opportunity to develop innovative packaging solutions that clearly communicate ingredients and nutritional information to cater to the demand for transparency.
