Hormel Foods releases plant-based protein puffs

Hormel Foods has introduced a new line of plant-based protein puffs to the market, an on-the go snack under its Happy Little Plants brand.

Happy Little Plants plant-based protein puffs come in three varieties: ranch, nacho cheese and cinnamon & sugar.

The gluten-free snacks contain 16g of plant-based protein per serving and no preservatives.

The launch comes after the meat company introduced the Happy Little Plants meat alternative line last year, with the debut of ground plant-based protein alternative. Hormel Foods has since added a pepperoni-style topping and Italian-style crumble topping to its plant-based brand.

“Consumers today are looking for easy ways to incorporate more plant-based foods into their diets, and we are very excited to bring these new great-tasting, Happy Little Plants plant-based protein puffs snack option to everyone,” said Robbie Koons, Happy Little Plants brand manager at Hormel Foods.

He added: “The new Happy Little Plants plant-based protein puffs were developed to make plant-based protein portable and snackable.”

Happy Little Plants plant-based protein puffs are available to purchase on Amazon.
