Minimally processed, made from simple real food ingredients, Hippie Snacks have nothing to hide.
The ever popular Hippie Snacks Cauliflower Crisps & Avocado Crisps helped the company become the fastest growing better for you snack brand at one of the leading national natural food retailers*. Building off of this success, Hippie Snacks is thrilled to launch brand new Almond Crisps and a new Cauliflower Crisp line extension. The Almond Crisps are available in three delicious flavors – Sea Salt, Rosemary, and Cheezy Chive – and all have real almonds as the first ingredient. The Cheeze Cauliflower Crisps also use real cauliflower as the first ingredient and have an unparalleled plant-based cheese flavor that have left people asking if they’re really dairy-free.
“What differentiates us from many competitors is our focus on using exciting whole foods as our main ingredient. It can definitely be more challenging from a product development standpoint but comes through with superior taste in the final product,” explains Ian Walker, President and Founder of Hippie Snacks. “Taste is always our number one criteria in our R&D meetings. We worked for almost a year to get the plant-based cheese flavor to where it is now and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. The Almond and Cauliflower Cheeze flavored crisps are dangerously binge worthy.”
The new Almond Crisps are grain-free, gluten-gluten free, plant-based, minimally processed, paleo friendly, and have 5 – 6 grams of protein per serving. The Cauliflower Crisps pack similar attributes and are gluten-free, plant-based, minimally processed, and have 6 grams of protein per serving.
“The real advantage to Hippie Snacks is that there’s so many different ways for consumers to find their entry point to the product,” explains Eric Pierce, VP of Business Insights at New Hope Network. “From the focus on first ingredient, whole food and plant forward positioning, high protein, clean label, and short ingredient list, all of the products are very inviting while also hitting the key attributes that retailers are looking for.”
