Product Snapshot: KIND Healthy Snacks (KIND) has announced its biggest innovation expansion ever—consistent with its intention to become the foremost global leader in healthy snacking. Just as it disrupted and elevated the bar category, KIND will seek to bring innovative alternatives to taste-focused aisles, such as frozen treats. Like all KIND snacks, the newest offerings were created in a way consistent with the KIND Promise: the first ingredient in its snacks is always a nutrient-dense food recommended for daily consumption.

"Since day one, KIND has been obsessed with upholding our brand promise – to create innovative, premium foods that are both healthy and tasty," says Daniel Lubetzky, founder and executive chairman of KIND. "While these categories are new for us, each is consistent with how we've always entered new categories – with an eye to creatively elevate people's overall experience."

Starting this month, people will be able to find KIND in the following new aisles of the grocery store:

  • Frozen Aisle: In a category where 'better-for-you' too often comes with artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols and 'real ingredients' comes with indulgence, KIND FROZEN Bars define a new space so you can feel good about enjoying the frozen treat you deserve. KIND FROZEN Bars are plant-based, creamy frozen treat bars made from nutrient-dense nuts, layered with smooth dark chocolate and nut butter.
  • Chocolate Aisle: KIND Bark is one of the first-ever treat offerings that leads with a nutrient-dense first ingredient. KIND Bark features nuts and is made with 55 percent cacao dark chocolate that is Fair Trade certified, giving consumers a treat that they can feel good about eating. Most retailers will choose to shelve KIND Bark in the chocolate aisle.
  • Refrigerated Aisle: the refrigerated snacking category remains largely untapped, yet demand continues to rise. KIND is bringing its expertise to this aisle with KIND® Nut Butter Bar, its first-ever refrigerated, smooth and creamy nut butter protein bar.
  • Snack Mix Aisle: The KIND snack mix platform will introduce hand-to-mouth, grain-free versions of best-selling KIND bars. The new offerings fall into the following sub-categories:
    • KIND Nut & Fruit Clusters
    • KIND Nut & Seed Clusters

SRPs are as below:

  • KIND BARK: KIND® BARK ranges from $3.58-$4.99 for the 3.6-ounce and the 15-ounce is $9.99.
  • KIND FROZEN: KIND FROZEN Bar is $1.49-$1.99 per serving (one bar) and $5.49-5.99 per 5-bar multipack.
  • KIND Nut Butter Bar: KIND Nut Butter bar is sold as singles in a 5ct perforated carton for $2.69 per bar.
  • KIND snack mixes: KIND’s snack mixes have a suggested retail price of $4.99 per pouch.
