Savory Snack Bars (UPDATE)

STRONG & KIND Protein Bars Are Delightfully Savory Snacks

— June 18, 2014 — Lifestyle
STRONG & KIND is a new line of savory protein bars from KIND Healthy Snacks that was developed to satisfy a need in the market for savory snack that was also good for you. It seems like a pretty straightforward concept, but there are tons of other snacks out there that end up being loaded with ingredients that you can’t identify or pronounce.

The new savory STRONG & KIND bars are made from simple ingredients like almonds, seeds and legumes, in five deliciously unusual flavors: Hickory Smoked, Roasted Jalapeño, Honey Smoked BBQ, Honey Mustard, and Thai Sweet Chili. The bars are non-GMO and totally free of gluten, wheat and soy. In total, the bars contain 10 grams of natural protein.

Of the samples that were generously sent to the Trend Hunter team by KIND, I’d have to say that my personal favouites are the Honey Mustard and the Roasted Jalapeño, two of the boldest flavors.
Trend Themes
1. Savory Protein Bars - Develop a range of savory protein bars with natural ingredients and bold flavors to cater to the growing demand for healthy snacks.
2. Simple Ingredients Snacks - Create a new line of snacks that contain only simple and natural ingredients to cater to consumers looking for healthy and organic food options.
3. Non-gmo and Gluten-free Products - Develop a variety of snacks and food products that are free from GMOs, gluten, and soy to meet the growing demand for healthy and natural food options.
Industry Implications
1. Health Food - Develop healthier snack options using only simple and natural ingredients, focusing on healthy snacking with real food items and clean labels.
2. Organic Food - Penetrate the organic food industry with new snacks and protein bars that contain non-GMO and natural ingredients to cater to the increasing demand for healthy and organic food items.
3. Fitness and Sports Nutrition - Introduce new products and snacks that contain natural and healthy ingredients, especially protein bars, that meet the needs of people who follow an active lifestyle and need an instant and healthy energy boost.
