Sola Bites are peanut-butter-stuffed bite-sized bagels that are ready to eat on the go as a convenient, snackable source of protein, prebiotic fiber, and real fruit. With no added sugar, Sola Bites delivers a sweet, satisfying and nostalgic experience in classic PB&J flavors like Grape & Peanut Butter and Strawberry & Peanut Butter. "Shoppers today want more protein, more fiber, and more nutrition in every bite. It's part of a broader shift in how people eat and think about wellness—and younger shoppers especially are snacking instead of sitting down to three square meals to reach their health goals," said Kevin Brouillette, President, Spring Foods.
Although bagels are associated with breakfasts and brunches, Sola Bites are launching to bagels beyond morning meals as a satisfying way to refuel anytime.
