Spicy Protein-Packed Snack Crisps

Pure Protein Frank's RedHot® Popped Crisps are Light Yet Crunchy

The Pure Protein Frank's RedHot® Popped Crisps have been developed thanks to a partnership with the signature hot sauce brand that aims to spice up snack time this season.

The product comes in the form of Pure Protein's Popped Crisps, which are coated with Frank's RedHot seasoning to give them a touch of heat in every bite. The snack crisps pack 12-grams of protein in each serving, while also maintaining a vegan-friendly and gluten-free recipe. The product is expected to catch the attention of shoppers by leveraging the brand awareness of Frank's RedHot sauce and tapping into burgeoning demand for protein-rich snacks.

Senior Brand Director at Pure Protein Alex Fishman spoke on the Pure Protein Frank's RedHot® Popped Crisps and additional collaborations saying, "These exciting partnerships represent a significant moment for the Pure Protein brand as we continue to push the boundaries of flavor profiles within our high-protein snacks. These launches tap into the trend of newstalgia and also aim to bring classic taste to protein products in a way that is unique to the category. We are thrilled to continue to innovate the protein market with options that bring consumers their favorite flavors in newfound formats, with all the benefits of protein."
