Catalina Crunch, a brand known for its better-for-you cereals and snacks, has introduced new Snack Size Multipacks that transform its popular Protein Cereal and Protein Snack Mix into single-serve, portable formats. This strategic move transforms the company's products as ideal companions for commuting, travel, hosting, and everyday snacking.
The Protein Snack Mix Multipacks, priced at $8.99, come in Cheddar and Traditional flavours. Each serving provides 10 grams of protein, two grams of sugar, and a good source of fiber. The Protein Cereal Multipacks, on the other hand, are offered in Cinnamon Toast and Fruity varieties. Each serving delivers 11 grams of protein and zero grams of sugar. This recipe is a great source of fiber, as well.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Portable Protein Snacking
- Single-serve formats are reshaping high-protein foods into everyday convenience products that fit commuting, travel, and portion-controlled routines.
- Better-for-you Multipacks
- Health-focused multipacks create room for brands to combine low sugar, fiber, and functional nutrition with the accessibility of traditional snack packaging.
- Cereal-as-snack Formats
- Breakfast products are moving beyond the bowl as cereal brands repackage familiar flavors into portable snack occasions with broader daypart relevance.
Sectors Adopting This
- Healthy Snacks
- The healthy snacks market gains new white space when functional ingredients are paired with convenient formats that compete directly with conventional chips, mixes, and sweets.
- Packaged Foods
- Established packaged food categories face disruption as brands use portioned packaging to reposition existing products for mobility, hosting, and everyday consumption.
- Functional Foods
- Protein-rich, low-sugar products highlight how functional foods can become mainstream through familiar flavors, convenient servings, and snackable use cases.
