As consumers shift towards plant-based nutrition and with 36% of Americans reportedly eating a vegetarian meal at least once a week (2015 Harris Interactive Poll), Los Angeles-based thinkThin, has added a new range of plan- based protein products spanning from high protein bars to protein powders.
"Our focus on nutrition is matched only by our passion for innovation," said Michele Kessler, CEO of thinkThin. "We estimate that plant based foods are a $5 billion dollar industry, and we wanted to bring to market a portfolio of products using high-quality, plant based ingredients, and still deliver the indulgent flavors our consumers expect from thinkThin."

"Innovating in the nutrition and food space means we have to constantly evaluate ingredient and food sources. With the growing numbers of flexitarians and consumers actively incorporating plant-based foods in their meals, we knew this was a space we could lean into that would complement our current product offerings. It was just a matter of understanding which combinations of plant-based sources tasted best while still delivering category leading nutritionals," added Ms. Kessler.
