Rivalz Launches Nutrient-Dense Stuffed Snacks

Rivalz is launching Stuffed Snacks, featuring 8g of plant-based protein, 4g of fiber per serving and only 9 net carbs. 

“We’re thrilled to share our passion for great tasting, affordable nutrition and introduce Rivalz Stuffed Snacks to the Expo West community,” says Rivalz CEO Peter Barrick. “We’re deftly leveraging AI to tackle the hardest problems facing food categories, by making high quality, nutritious snacks that can make a real impact. Importantly, our next-level, nutrient-dense foods allow consumers to live more in the moment while maximizing tomorrow.”

According to Barrick, Rivalz is the first snack company to apply AI to the extruder. The company’s fully integrated AI model has allowed Rivalz to exponentially accelerate product design, leading to a revolutionary breakthrough—high-protein, high-fiber, low carb snacks, which are highly differentiated in the category where cheap carbohydrates and empty calories are pervasive. Rivalz Stuffed Snacks are made from pea and brown rice, and are oven baked rather than fried, enhancing satiety for a satisfying snacking experience. Creating a snack of this caliber also led to achieving Smart Snack compliance—the national nutrition standard for food and beverages sold in schools.

“AI enables us to maintain optimal textures, flavors, and nutrition. The result is a clean-label, better-for-you snack option that is so tasty, you might even think it’s junk food,” adds Barrick.

The savory, new puffed snacks are offered in three craveable, comfort food flavors—Late Night Pizza, Extra Chedda’ Mac and Spicy Street Taco. They are vegan, non-GMO certified, gluten-free, soy-free and low-Glycemic Index, provide a good source of vegetables, and boast lower sodium levels than those conventional, addictive tasting salty snacks.

Rivalz Stuffed Snacks are currently available in both 1 oz. single-serve portions and 6 oz. sharable bags.
