The brand has introduced the new 'Sweet Sriracha' flavor as an addition to the existing lineup of 'Sea Salt' and 'Classic Hummus' varieties. Aside from being inherently healthier than traditional potato chips, the snacks are gluten-free, nut-free, naturally high in fiber, low in fat and even high in protein. This makes them perfect for consumers looking to avoid unhealthy ingredients and stave off hunger between meals without having to worry about overindulging. The Good Bean Chickpea Snacks are made with 100% domestically sourced ingredients. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 - **Healthy Snacking:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new snack options that are inherently healthier than traditional potato chips. - **Gluten-free Snacks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create gluten-free snack alternatives that are high in fiber and low in fat. - **Protein-packed Snacks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design snacks that are high in protein to satisfy hunger between meals. ### Who This Affects Most - **Snack Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate domestically sourced, healthy ingredients into snack products. - **Healthy Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop gluten-free, high-fiber, and low-fat food options for health-conscious consumers. - **Alternative Protein Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create snacks that are not only high in protein but also gluten-free and low in fat. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vegan-Friendly Chickpea Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brave-roasted-chickpeas.md) - [Low-Calorie Chickpea Crisps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tasty-thins.md) - [Boldly Flavored Chickpea Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flavored-chickpea-chip.md) - [Chickpea-Based Crunchy Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chickpea-puff.md) - [Bacon-Flavored Chickpea Puffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baconflavored-chickpea-puffs.md) - [Citrusy Chickpea Snack Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hippeas-sea-salt-lime.md) - [Bold Chickpea Brand Refreshes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festive-chickpea-hearts.md) - [Chickpea Tortilla Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chickpea-tortilla-chip.md) - [Crunchy Chickpea Granolas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chickpea-granola-crunch-mix.md)
