CORE Foods recently introduced its first-ever line of shareable snacks and the Fiber Powered Oat Snacks can be found in three varieties that support gut health. The shelf-stable snacks are powered by real, plant-based ingredients, including whole grains and five grams of prebiotic fiber. The gluten-free snack supports good gut health with satisfying flavors like Vegan Ranch, Sea Salt & Olive Oil and Peanut Butter.
While the brand is known for its refrigerated plant-based nutrition bars, these clean-label options can be found beyond the refrigerated section and the better-for-you snack was created as a "delicious upgrade to bland, boring crackers." These gut-healthy products stand out as fiber-powered oat snacks to support cravings for savory, sweet and salty snacking.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Plant-based Snacks
- Opportunity to explore the fast-growing plant-based snack market by using whole grains and prebiotic fiber.
- Gut Health Focus
- Opportunity to develop snacks that promote gut health, using prebiotic fiber and other ingredients.
- Clean-label Snacks
- Opportunity to capitalize on the clean-label trend by creating snacks with healthier ingredients and no preservatives.
Sectors Adopting This
- Snack Foods
- With the growing snacking trend, innovation opportunities exist for healthy snack options with whole grains, prebiotic fiber, and other healthier alternatives to traditional snacks.
- Plant-based Foods
- Opportunities exist for food manufacturers to create more plant-based options with clean labels and healthier ingredients to meet the needs of health-conscious consumers.
- Functional Foods
- There is an opportunity for the functional food industry to create products that promote gut health, using ingredients such as prebiotic fiber and other nutrients to enhance digestive wellness.
