Not only do the new snack bars provide a uniquely savory way to eat on the go, but they also deliver a nutritional boost that will keep consumers energized between meals. Go Natural's new savory nut bars are designed to cater to consumers who enjoy the convenience of a granola bar, but don't like the sweet ingredients typically found in such products. Instead, Go Natural offers a smoky BBQ flavor and a spicy Mexican variety that each deliver a powerful burst of unconventional flavors. Despite the intense flavors, the bars are made from nothing but wholesome ingredients such as peanuts, almonds, cashews and seeds. These ingredients provide a boost of protein, fiber and other nutrients that help to fuel consumers and keep hunger at bay. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## 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 - **Savory Snack Bars:** Opportunity for food companies to tap into the growing demand for savory snacks that offer convenience and nutritional benefits. - **Alternative Flavors:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create unique and intense flavor profiles that cater to consumers seeking unconventional taste experiences. - **Natural Ingredients:** Opportunity to develop snack bars made from wholesome ingredients, providing a healthier and more nutritious alternative to traditional granola bars. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Snack Food:** Snack food companies can explore savory nut bars to diversify their product offerings and cater to changing consumer preferences. - **Convenience Food:** Opportunity for convenience food manufacturers to create on-the-go snack options that are savory, nutritious, and satisfy consumer cravings for unconventional flavors. - **Wellness & Nutrition:** Opportunity for wellness and nutrition companies to promote and market savory nut bars as a healthier alternative to traditional sweet snack bars. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Savory On-the-Go Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savory-bars.md) - [Minimally Processed Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-nut-bar.md) - [Nutrient-Dense Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kind-snacks-savory.md) - [Savory Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savory-protein-bars.md) - [Nutritious Snack Bar Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kind-snacks-3.md) - [Savory Textured Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosemary-sea-salt-protein-bar.md) - [Pork-Filled Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-range-pork-bar.md) - [Healthy Trail Mix-Style Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kind-snacks-2.md) - [Clean-Label Crunchy Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/south-40-snacks.md)
