Rather than being made with powders, fillers and artificial ingredients, the [crunchy snacks prioritize nourishing plant-based ingredients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gosh-veg-bites), which helps them to provide between seven to eight grams of protein per serving. The energizing savory snacks are also loaded with vitamins and fiber, making it easy and enjoyable for one to snack on vegetables. The all-new Veggie Pops from Made In Nature have been recognized as a Natural Products Expo East 2018 NEXTY Award finalist in the Best New Savory or Salty Snack category. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Whole Food Snacks:** Developing whole food, plant-based snack options can disrupt the snack industry by creating healthier options for consumers. - **Savory Snacks:** The demand for savory snack options is growing, creating an opportunity for companies to innovate and offer new and unique flavors. - **Protein-packed Snacks:** Developing snacks with high amounts of plant-based protein can disrupt the traditional meat-centric snack market and appeal to consumers looking for alternative protein sources. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Snack Industry:** Companies in the snack industry can capitalize on the trend towards whole food, plant-based snacks and offer healthier snack options to consumers. - **Organic Food Industry:** As consumers become more health-conscious, the organic food industry can offer a wider variety of savory snack options that prioritize whole food, plant-based ingredients. - **Plant-based Protein Industry:** The plant-based protein industry can expand into the snack market by creating protein-packed snacks and disrupting the traditional meat-centric snack market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Airy Veggie Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simply-lays-veggie-poppables.md) - [Cruciferous Snack Puffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baked-puffs.md) - [Vegetable-Based Snack Puffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snackin-for-you.md) - [Cheesy Veggie-Made Crackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheddar-pop-mmms.md) - [Grab-and-Go Snacking Veggies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snacking-veggies.md) - [Nutrient-Rich Vegetable Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/root-foods-vegetable-chips.md) - [Chickpea-Based Crunchy Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chickpea-puff.md) - [Clean Label Veggie-Based Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-veggie-snacks-products.md) - [High-Protein Pea Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origin-nutrition.md)
