SmashPack recently introduced its Chocolate and Chocolate Peanut Butter grass-fed Protein Puddings with low-sugar, low-carb formulas at this year's Natural Products Expo West.
In the same way that SmashPack's previously released Protein Fruit Smoothies are packaged in pouches, the high-protein pudding snacks are offered in the brand's same signature re-sealable squeeze packaging. Each 130-calorie Protein Pudding boasts 15 grams of rBST-free, grass-fed protein with just four grams of sugar. These snack pouches are being introduced for consumers of all ages who are looking for better-for-you options when it comes to on-the-go snacking, especially of the guilt-free variety.
Knowing that many consumers are seeking healthy products that are conveniently packaged and nutrient-dense, a number of food brands have adopted mess-free, pouch-style packages—commonly used for feeding toddlers and young kids—for adult-targeted snacks.
