What is Keto lifestyle and what are the growth drivers? 

 

The ketogenic diet (or keto diet for short) is a low carbohydrate, high fat diet. The goal of keto lifestyle is to limit carbohydrate intake and transfers body into metabolic state – ketosis. Instead of burning simple sugars and carbohydrates for energy, the body starts to burn fat. The state of ketosis offers various health benefits. Studies have shown that a keto lifestyle has induced an effective weight loss along with improvements in several cardiovascular risk parameters {1}. With obesity reaching epidemic proportions around the globe, COVID-19 forcing people to move less this issue is more relevant than ever.  

 

The future trends for keto industry are clear and include the following: the growth of keto snacks, including bars, celebrity endorsements, rise of overweight and obesity, availability of keto diet products; As keto products move from early-adopters to mass consumers – all of these major growth drivers will make a keto lifestyle more known for general public. The United States is a good example of what’s ahead for European consumers. 

 

A perfect keto bar that ticks many requirements

 

To date it was hard to find a keto lifestyle suitable bar that appeals to the keto diet consumer. The safest option was to make one at home which usually is inconvenient and time consuming. 

• Low net carbohydrate – Low net carb calculates as follows: Total carbohydrate – Fiber – Polyols. Bar should not exceed 5% of total nutritional value. 
• Sweeteners – Not all sweeteners are created equal. Some may raise blood sugar levels which kick the body out of ketosis and all the benefits along. We recommend using erythritol. 
• A short ingredient list – Due to the nature of keto lifestyle consumers tend to read labels very carefully. A clean and short label is preferred because consumer has to understand what he/she is consuming. We use only 9 clean and recognizable ingredients including almond, peanuts, rice, pea, cacao, medium-chain triglyceride (MCT), stevia, ect. 
• A vegan protein source – a combination of rice and pea protein provides a complete amino-acid profile, necessary for the body to maintain its functions. In addition, these are regarded as non allergic proteins suitable for a wider audience. 
• MCT infused – To support the body in shifting its energy source from carbohydrates to fats.
• Taste – Our latest technology and innovative ingredients are a key success in making creamy, brownie-like texture and mouthfeel with little off notes. 

 

The bar concept has been approved after many trials and testing sessions, even small scale commercialization. To ensure we can offer a product that sells and customers will love. For us, as a private label manufacturer, it is important to offer clients only solid bar recipes so in the future we do not require to make costly irritations and delay product launch date.
