The shelf-stable snacks are powered by real, plant-based ingredients, including whole grains and five grams of [prebiotic fiber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hero-bread). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/35-gut-booster-mega-mix) stand out as fiber-powered oat snacks to support cravings for savory, sweet and salty snacking. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 11% - 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 - **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. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gut-Friendly Snack Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boundless-chips.md) - [Gut Health Support Granolas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biome-granolas.md) - [Gut-Supporting Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biome-bars.md) - [Gut-Friendly Snack Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nut-and-seed-mix.md) - [Prebiotic Puffed Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-crunchy-rollers-with-prebiotics.md) - [Gut-Friendly Granola Clusters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gut-friendly-granola-clusters.md) - [Prebiotic Gut Health Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gutzy.md) - [Gut-Supporting Veggie Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/probiotic-hiprotein-veggie.md) - [Daily Fiber Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiber-bites.md)
