KIND Healthy Snacks (KIND) has released Strong & Kind, the brand’s first savory snack line. Products contain 10 grams of natural protein (soy and whey free) as well as ingredients you can see & pronounce, including whole almonds, seeds and legumes, which when combined pack all nine essential amino acids.
The new line features five flavors: Honey Smoked BBQ, Honey Mustard, Roasted Jalapeño, Hickory Smoked and Thai Sweet Chili.
“As a team, we found ourselves craving bold, savory flavored snacks, but were disappointed with the options available today as almost all of them are void of positive nutrition,” said Daniel Lubetzky, Founder and CEO of KIND. “We set out to fix that by crafting savory snacks that deliver on both health and taste. It took us years to crack the code and develop Strong & Kind. The new line delivers strong, bold flavors from nutritionally-rich ingredients that people can feel good about eating.”
Strong & Kind is made from a foundation of whole almonds, seeds and legumes, and the five flavor varieties include:
"As a pro athlete, I know it can be easy to focus on trash talk and negativity,” said Durant. “Kindness can sometimes be mistaken for weakness, but I want to change that perception. The reality is that it takes a lot of strength to be kind.”
In conjunction with the movement, KIND and Durant are looking for one million people to join them in taking the STRONG & KIND pledge to support a $1 million donation from KIND to the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation. The donation will be used to create programming for at-risk youth to teach them how to be Strong & Kind.
