Deep dives
The Rise of Protein Snacks
The increasing prevalence of protein in various snacks has created a phenomenon referred to as the 'health halo effect.' This underscores how brands capitalize on the notion that products containing protein are inherently healthier than their non-protein counterparts. While some protein-rich snacks genuinely provide nutritional benefits, many others are simply marketed for the trend without delivering real value. This distinction is crucial for consumers to understand, as it helps them make informed choices about what constitutes a worthwhile investment in their snacking habits.
