Low-Sugar Snack Mixes

Thinful Snacks Have Just 60 Calories & Two Grams of Sugar Per Half-Cup

— April 28, 2021 — Lifestyle
Thinful is a new low-sugar indulgent snack mix from Piedmont Candy and it shares only two grams of sugar and 60 calories per half-cup serving. Thanks to a proprietary natural sweetener blend, the snack mix boasts "much as 70% less sugar than comparable brands," plus a flavor that's said to be sweeter than table sugar and free from any aftertaste.

The handcrafted snacks are made in small batches and they can be found in decadent flavors like Chocolatey Drizzle, Peanut Butter, Sea Salt Caramel, Snickerdoodle, and Birthday Cake. Popcorn, caramel corn and waffle pretzels are tossed and glazed to create indulgent yet guilt-free flavors that save people from having to fuss over certain ingredients, especially if they are trying to limit or avoid certain sugars.
Trend Themes
1. Low-sugar Snacking - There is a growing demand for low-sugar snacks that taste indulgent and flavorful while being free from aftertaste.
2. Natural Sweeteners - The use of proprietary natural sweetener blends presents an opportunity to create low-sugar snacks with unique and delicious flavors.
3. Small-batch Snack Production - Small-batch snack production allows for the creation of unique, high-quality low-sugar snack offerings that can stand out in a crowded market.
Industry Implications
1. Snack Foods - The snack foods industry can develop new, innovative low-sugar snack options that cater to the growing demand for healthier indulgences.
2. Food Manufacturing - Food manufacturing companies can explore the use of natural sweeteners in their products as a way to create healthier options for customers.
3. Health & Wellness - Health and wellness companies can incorporate low-sugar snack options into their product offerings to appeal to consumers looking for healthy indulgences.
