Several themes related to health and snacking habits emerged in the survey. Three in 10 people surveyed said that their snacking behavior contributed to weight gain, but many consumers are looking for snacks that keep them full instead of keeping them munching. Fifty-six percent of people said the main benefit they’re seeking in snacks is to help curb hunger between meals.

Consumers are also choosing snacks based on the way food makes them feel. They’re focusing on mood and energy-boosting bites that can keep them going. Thirty-eight percent of consumers are also looking for their snacks to help with cognitive function in the areas of memory and concentration.

Although people are looking for snacks that make their brain and body feel good, they still want something that tastes good too. Crunchy snacks were still highly desired by 42% of consumers, and sweet and salty snack preferences were nearly tied.
