Snackable Protein

Classic meat products are reformatted as portable snacks

Implications - As consumers become warier of snacking on empty calories, they begin turning to their favorite meat products as trusted sources of satisfying sustenance and wholesome protein. Adapting to this shift in snacking culture, brands are repackaging meats like sausages into individually wrapped portable formats that are easy to grab on the go, for a protein-filled adult snack.
Workshop Question - How are you tapping into the consumer desire for convenience?
Trend Themes
1. Protein Snacking - Consumers are demanding high protein snacks in response to a growing awareness of health and wellness.
2. Convenient Packaging - The rise of grab-and-go culture has led to brands designing portable snack formats, pre-portioned for the busy consumer.
3. Gourmet Snacking - Consumers are more experimental in their search for new snack flavors and are looking for a unique taste experience.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The industry is responding to increased demand for healthier and protein-packed snack options, while creating new convenient snack formats for busy consumers.
2. Packaging - Packaging solutions that address the need for portable, single-serving snack are in high demand.
3. Meat and Cheese - Manufacturers are creating new taste experiences for consumers by combining meat and cheese in innovative ways that are both healthy and convenient.
