The savory trail mix snack combines nuts and seeds with [air-dried beef biltong](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beef-biltongs) in three unique flavor options: Original, Jalapeño and Dark Chocolate. Due to the inclusion of meat in the snack mixes, the all-natural trail mixes are packed with 20 grams of protein. As well as having the potential to appeal to those who are looking for high-protein snacks, the trail mixes will also catch the eyes of those following a paleo diet, as well as others looking for a peanut-free, allergy-friendly snack. The savory trail mix snacks are set to launch exclusively at Army Airforce Exchange Service locations before being available through other military bases, retail partners and online channels. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Savory Snack Mix:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new flavor combinations and unique ingredient pairings to create innovative savory snack mixes. - **High-protein Snacks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop high-protein snack options that go beyond traditional sources and incorporate bold flavors and textures. - **Allergy-friendly Snacks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create peanut-free and allergy-friendly snack options that cater to specific dietary needs and restrictions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Snack Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce innovative snack products that satisfy changing consumer preferences for savory, high-protein, and allergy-friendly options. - **Fitness and Wellness Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop snack products that align with the growing demand for protein-rich and dietary-restriction-friendly options among health-conscious individuals. - **Military Retail Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with military retail channels to provide exclusive and unique snack offerings that cater to the needs and preferences of military personnel and their families. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Savory Trail Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savory-trail-mixes.md) - [Wholesome Ingredient Trail Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hike-snacks-trail-mix.md) - [Sweet-and-Salty Snack Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planters-trail-mix.md) - [Sustainable Trail Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shar.md) - [Clean High-Protein Snack Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highprotein-snack-line.md) - [Nutrient-Dense Snack Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/second-nature-snacks-smart-mix.md) - [Candy Brand Trail Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bonds-of-london-trail-mix.md) - [International Flavor Trail Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/global-fusions-trail-mixes.md) - [Regeneratively-Sourced Beef Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beef-bitlong.md)
