Consumers’ continued interest in protein is a major driver of today’s healthy snacking trends. While there are different strategies for developing a healthier snack, adding protein has become a popular choice due to its immediate impact on consumer perception. Since consumers see protein as an indicator of healthiness, chips, cookies, and bars featuring a protein claim or the grams of protein on the package stand out as a better choice. Consumers associate protein with satiety, weight management, strength, muscle support, energy, healthy immunity, and more, with interest in a wide variety of protein sources, from dairy to plant-based proteins.
