Glanbia Performance Nutrition has rolled out a new range under its Think! Brand with the introduction of Think! Crispy Squares, a protein-fortified alternative to the traditional crispy rice snack. The move is set to meet the increasing consumer popularity for high-protein snacks with nostalgic-flavored offerings.
According to coherent market insights, the health and wellness packaged food industry is anticipated to increase at a substantial CAGR during 2025-2032. The market is likely to see impressive growth over the projected timeline. Market size is driven by increased awareness regarding organic and healthy foods.
Think! Crispy Squares provides 15g of protein per serving in an easy, grab-and-go package, appealing to active consumers seeking healthy yet indulgent snack alternatives.
The new treat comes in three flavors:
Marshmallow Crunch: A classic version of the crunchy rice treat.
Chocolate Crunch: a chocolaty, crispy rice and marshmallow confection.
Toffee Pretzel Crunch: a sweet and salty treat with toffee and pretzel pieces.
Each square contains 140-160 calories and 3-4g of sugar, which makes them a lower-calorie snack option. It's gluten-free and available for sale beginning at $2.49 for singles and $8.79 for a four-count package.
This launch caters to a powerful trend in consumer behavior as over two-thirds of Americans are consciously trying to increase the amount of protein they consume in their diet. In addition, the majority of consumers are looking for products that provide comfort as well as nutritious sources of protein, as part of a broader trend toward healthier snacking products.
Erica Morris, director of the brand Think!, added: "With Think! Crispy Squares, there's no need to think too much about your snack time," indicating the brand's focus on convenience and taste.
The introduction of Think! Crispy Squares comes at a time when the snack industry is increasingly competitive. Brands are continuously innovating to increase market share by creating products that satisfy needs for both nutrition and enjoyment.
The nostalgic value of crispy rice treats, along with the health benefits from added protein are aligned with Think! to compete in capturing a broad consumer base including those serious about fitness and casual snacking.
