Stuffed Date Snacks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Date Better Snacks are Wholesome Candy Bar Alternatives

— August 30, 2023 — Lifestyle
Date Better Snacks are clean, vegan-friendly stuffed date snacks that combine chocolate and nut butter to offer a decadent treat without any preservatives or emulsifiers.

Michelle Valdez-Wilton, founder and CEO of Date Better Snacks, recently won Naturally LA's Pitch Slam and will compete for the grand prize at the Natural Products Expo East Pitch Slam. In an interview with New Hope Network, Valdez-Wilton said, "I really wanted to be able to offer healthy, indulgent treat alternatives to replace a candy bar." Despite having a sweet tooth, she found that sugar became less enjoyable with age and that's where these stuffed date snacks come in as a healthy yet indulgent treat.

Date Better Snacks are available in several flavors, including Peanut Butter Crunch, Almond Java Crunch, Cashew Lime Crisp, and the newest, Hazelnut Praline.
Trend Themes
1. Clean Snack Alternatives - Date Better Snacks offer a wholesome and indulgent alternative to traditional candy bars with their clean, vegan-friendly stuffed date snacks.
2. Decadent Nut Butter Treats - The combination of chocolate and nut butter in Date Better Snacks presents a decadent and indulgent treat option, without the use of preservatives or emulsifiers.
3. Growing Demand for Healthy Indulgences - There is a rising demand for healthy yet indulgent snacks like Date Better Snacks that satisfy sweet cravings without compromising on quality or nutrition.
Industry Implications
1. Health Food - The health food industry can capitalize on the trend of clean snack alternatives by offering more options that are both wholesome and indulgent.
2. Plant-based Foods - The plant-based foods industry can seize the opportunity presented by decadent nut butter treats to create innovative products that cater to consumers seeking indulgent yet vegan-friendly options.
3. Snack and Confectionery - The snack and confectionery industry can tap into the growing demand for healthy indulgences by developing and marketing products that provide consumers with guilt-free treats.
