Healthy Grab & Go Snacks Are On the Rise
Healthy grab and go snacks and meals continue to be a popular choice, with more consumers seeking healthy snacks. Nestlé Professional Solutions has a portfolio of top brands that are easy to stock, with plenty of options to fit a variety of dietary needs.
Considering healthy grab-and-go snacks? Whether you operate a hotel grab-and-go market, a convenience store snack counter, or any kind of micro market area that provides on-the-go snacks and meals, you know the value of having the right products on hand to help customers who are always on the move fuel their cravings.
According to a recent study, 3 in 4 consumers skip meals at least weekly in favor of snacks,1 and about half of Gen Z are buying more grab-and-go items this year than last.2 However, consumers also want healthy grab-and-go snacks. Within snacking, “better options” is on the rise YOY (+1.2 pts), driven by a desire for low calorie offerings and snacks that hold patrons over until their next meal.3 And notably, morning snacking is both an area of growth, and the daypart where patrons are most interested in healthy snacks options.3
With the rise of health-conscious consumers, offering options that cater to dietary needs while still being delicious and convenient is crucial. In addition, providing nutritious grab-and-go meals can help you stand out from the competition because customers are more likely to choose a location that provides options, from brands they know and love, that align with their dietary needs.
