DORVAL (Cont'd. from p. 1) Snacking Motivations and Attitudes from 2015, nearly all Americans (94 percent) snack at least once per day. Further, the IRI 2016 State of Snacking survey revealed that nearly half (46 percent) of adults snack more than three times per day. What consumers are snacking on has changed as well. A generation ago, snacks tended to be little more than "empty calo- ries" – higher in sugar or fat, and consid- ered more of a treat. Today, consumers are looking for snacks that are satisfying and taste great, but that also positively con- tribute to daily nutrient needs. One of the biggest trends in snacking is protein. Once more of a niche focus for athletes, the per- ceived health benefits of protein have broadened and today consumers across many demographic groups are looking for new, interesting and great-tasting ways to boost their protein intake, including in their snacks. That's where Whey 2 Be! protein cookies have found a sweet spot. Whey 2 Be! was created by Action Brand Management (ABM), a team of brand management spe- cialists catering to the natural and organic marketplace. The experts at ABM saw a need in the marketplace for a high-quality protein cookie that also tastes great. "The young, active adults we see today are really the first generation who grew up with a heavily scheduled childhood – running be- tween soccer practice, baseball games, the- ater club and piano lessons. They grew up snacking in the car or between activities and we see that in the trends in snacking today," said Jeff Canner, Co-Founder of Whey 2 Be! protein cookies. "It's not just a quick some- thing to keep you going between three square meals any more. Snacking is a way of life and they want something they feel good about eating." Whey 2 Be! protein cookies are differ- ent than others on the market and have raised the bar when it comes to satisfying the snacking demands of today's con- sumer. Not only do Whey 2 Be! protein cookies offer a truly a gourmet experience with a smooth texture and absolutely de- licious flavor, they also pack 20-22 grams of high-quality cold-processed whey pro- tein into each cookie. The protein comes from whey, one of the most popular and nutritionally superior forms of protein. "Whey protein is one of the most highly bio-available types of protein, meaning it is easily absorbed and utilized by the body," says Peggy O'Shea Kochenbach a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with ABM. "If you're looking to boost your protein intake, whey protein is an excel- lent option." Why did Whey 2 Be! choose cold- processed whey protein? "The best-quality whey protein is cold processed. When pro- tein is heated it can start to break down and lose functionality," said Canner. "By starting Whey 2 Be! protein cookies with high-qual- ity, cold-processed whey protein we ensure we are creating a protein-packed product from the very beginning." Whey 2 Be! cookies are all-natural and certified non-GMO by Greenleaf Non- GMO. Perfect for athletes, fitness enthusi- asts, those with an active lifestyle, busy moms, college students and even kids' lunch boxes, Whey 2 Be! protein cookies are avail- able in five flavors to satisfy everyone's taste buds: Chocolate Chip, Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Cran-Orange White Chocolate and Peanut Butter.

"After the success of our dates, figs, plums and apricots, we are thrilled to add tomatoes and goldenberries to our offerings," said Susan Leone, Founder and Owner of Fruit Bliss. "Our products are great for snacking and using in a wide array of recipes, from smoothies to baked goods, and now in pizza, pasta, sandwiches and salads." Fruit Bliss' tomatoes are grown in Turkey, while the goldenberries come from Peru. These fruits are picked at the height of ripeness and dried, then exported to Turkey, where they undergo a rehydrating process that leaves them juicier and sweeter than tra- ditional dried fruit. Like all of Fruit Bliss' products, the toma- toes and goldenberries are just fruit (yes, tomatoes are a fruit!) and water – no added sugar, preservatives or GMOs. They will be available in 4- ounce (tomatoes) and 5-ounce pouches (goldenberries) at su- permarkets around the coun- try. "Compared with other dried fruits, ours are juicy and natu- rally sweet, with no sulfites or other chemicals," said Leone, a Brooklyn mom who decided to start Fruit Bliss to fill the gap in 100 per- cent healthy snacks on the supermarket shelves. "Fruit Bliss is literally dried fruit reinvented and a truly healthy snack or addi- tion to many dishes." About Fruit Bliss Established in 2011, Fruit Bliss' pouches and snack-size minis are sold nationally and can be found in Whole Foods, Safeway, Sprouts, King's, Rosauers, Jimbo's Naturally, Kowalski's Markets and many other regional natural food stores.
