Naturipe showcases Bento Bliss snack at United Fresh LIVE!

Naturipe Farms, Salinas, Calif., is unveiling a revamped Naturipe Snacks line-up at United Fresh Live!, with Boost Bentos and Bliss Bentos.

The original snacks lineup has been renamed Boost Bentos, and the new Bliss Bentos will be available starting July 13, according to a news release.

The updated packaging highlights the nourishing/energizing options in the Boost Bentos and the indulgent/nutritious treats in the Bliss Bentos line.

“At Naturipe, we’re constantly innovating and elevating our products based on consumer research and changing behaviors,” Steven Ware, vice president and general manager of Naturipe Snacks, said in the release. “Consumers are snacking more than ever and looking for balanced, nutrient-rich options, whether it be a hearty snack or a little indulgence.”

The snack lines will be featured at Naturipe’s virtual booth during United Fresh LIVE!, starting June 15.

The Bliss Bentos line pairs fruit and specialty ingredients:

Chocolate Cheer: Blueberries, dark chocolate chunk granola clusters and dark chocolate-covered chickpeas;
Vanilla Crunch: Blueberries, grapes, mini vanilla formed granola and honey roasted walnuts; 
Salty Caramelicious: Blueberries, salted caramel granola clusters and salted cashews; and
Berry Lemony:  Blueberries, lemon coconut granola clusters and yogurt almonds.

“The Bliss Bentos are a great option for a snack or dessert,” CarrieAnn Arias, vice president of marketing, said in the release. “There’s no doubt that consumers are still looking for sweet treats, but now it’s much more important to them that they have options they can feel good about eating.”

Naturipe is featuring the snacks at its United Fresh Live! Booth. Naturipe Farms also markets Naturipe Bites and Naturipe Snacks Fruit Cups.
