These protein brownies from Lenny & Larry's are branded as 'Muscle Brownies' that supply "baked nutrition"—these brownies are rich with a whopping [20 grams of protein](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quest-bake-shop), as well as 5 grams of fiber.

The brownie flavors like Triple Chocolate, [Peanut Butter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-brownie-protein-bar) and Cookies & Cream are sold in individually wrapped packages that are ideal for both on-the-go eating and portion control. Although the varieties available are seemingly decadent, these brownies actually contain about 35% less sugar than most regular brownies on the market.

As well as making an assortment of Muscle Brownies, Lenny & Larry's also makes a variety of Muscle Muffins and [Complete Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taylor-chip-protein-cookie), which offer different ways to receive similar kinds of nourishment from some of the most comforting baked goods out there.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **High-protein Snacks:** Opportunity to develop nutrient-dense snacks that are high in protein and fiber, while reducing sugar content.
- **Portion-controlled Packaging:** Opportunity to package snacks in individual portions to cater to on-the-go consumption and encourage portion-control.
- **Functional Baked Goods:** Opportunity to develop baked goods that offer more functional benefits, such as higher protein and fiber content, without sacrificing taste.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Healthy Snack Foods:** Opportunity for companies to enter the growing market for healthy snacks that provide functional benefits beyond just taste.
- **Bakery:** Opportunity for bakeries to differentiate themselves by producing high-protein and fiber baked goods that appeal to health-conscious consumers.
- **Fitness Supplements:** Opportunity for fitness supplement companies to branch out into baked goods that offer high levels of protein and other functional benefits.
