# Overnight Oat Bars CORE Energy Bars Contain Caffeine, Probiotics & Prebiotic Fiber By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-03-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/overnight-oat-bars References: [nosh](https://www.nosh.com/news/2020/gallery-chilled-snacking-innovations#pic-8) & [corefoods](https://www.corefoods.com/collections/corebars) CORE Foods previously introduced chilled overnight oat bars with probiotics and the brand is expanding on this idea with CORE Energy Bars. The all-new overnight oat bars are enriched with 65 milligrams of caffeine, plus probiotics and prebiotic fiber for satiety. Unlike most overnight oat products that are packaged in single-serve cups and must be eaten with a spoon, these ones are ideal for busy mornings and on-the-go eating. The CORE Energy Bars are available in unique varieties like Strawberry Basil Tea and other decadent flavor combinations like Caramel Coffee Crunch and Mocha Chip Espresso. These grab-and-go bars each boast six grams of protein and appeal to ingredient-conscious consumers who are seeking easy breakfasts and snacks that are fueled by simple and fresh recipes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 9% - 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's Driving This Trend - **Chilled Overnight Oat Bars:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating innovative and convenient breakfast options with probiotics and prebiotic fiber for satiety. - **Energy Bars with Added Functional Ingredients:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing energy bars with unique flavor combinations, caffeine, and other functional ingredients to appeal to ingredient-conscious consumers. - **On-the-go Breakfast Solutions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing breakfast bars that are portable, easy to eat, and suitable for busy mornings and on-the-go snacking. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Capitalizing on the growing trend of functional food products by creating innovative snacks that offer added health benefits. - **Health and Wellness Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating probiotics, prebiotic fiber, and other functional ingredients into convenient and tasty snack options to cater to health-conscious consumers. - **Convenience Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing convenient and on-the-go breakfast solutions that are easy to consume and provide sustained energy for busy individuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Low-Sugar Caffeinated Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caffeinated-protein-bars.md) - [Caffeinated Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caffeinated-protein-bar.md) - [Mini Caffeinated Fruit Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thats-it-energy.md) - [Fall-Flavored Oat Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-bar-pumpkin-spice.md) - [Health-Conscious Probiotic Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/probiotic-protein-bar.md) - [Refrigerated Oat Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refrigerated-oat-bars.md) - [Plant-Powered Breakfast Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/complete-kickstart-bar.md) - [Stress Relief Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refrigerated-nutrition-bars.md) - [Fruit-Forward Protein Breakfast Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kind-breakfast-protein.md)
