Energizing School-Safe Snacks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Mavericks Makes Junk-Free Cookies and Crackers for Kids

— March 10, 2020 — Lifestyle
Mavericks is a kid-first snack brand that makes cookies and snacks for kids that follow the USDA’s “smart snacks” requirements. The all-natural, non-GMO ingredients used by the brand help to create healthy options that are designed to get kids feeling good about eating "junk-free" snacks that are always free from peanuts and GMO ingredients.

While the brand's Crackerz are available in original, cheesy and pizza-flavored varieties, the low-sugar cookies by Mavericks are made in popular flavors like chocolate chip, double chocolate and birthday cake. All of the brand's kid-friendly, school-safe snacks are shaped into lightning bolts that emphasize their ability to fuel great adventures. Mavericks' cookies and crackers are targeted towards what it calls "natural-born snackers" who are powered by imagination and unafraid to color outside of the lines.
Trend Themes
1. School-safe Snacks - Opportunity to create more snacks that follow USDA's guidelines targeting the growing health-conscious consumer base.
2. Non-gmo Ingredients - Growing trend towards health and wellness products presents opportunities for businesses to make and market non-GMO products.

2. Food Manufacturing Industry - Opportunity for businesses in this industry to invest in non-GMO and all-natural ingredients to align with the growing consumer demand for healthier food options.
3. Packaged Food Industry - Opportunity for businesses in this industry to tap into the school-safe snack market by offering healthier, non-GMO, and all-natural options in attractive packaging.
