PepsiCo Australia has expanded its impulse snacking portfolio with the release of Nobby’s Protein Coated Almonds, designed to combine whole nuts with functional nutrition.
The new product line is a single-serve range that features whole roasted almonds enclosed in a protein-enriched coating and seasoning.
Offered in 45g packages, the range enters the market with two distinct flavours: Cacao, delivering 11g of protein per pack, and Salted Caramel, providing 10.8g of protein per pack.
The company says development targets growing consumer interest in functional snacks that offer nutritional additions alongside convenience and traditional flavour profiles.
Alexia Horley, CEO of ANZ Foods at PepsiCo, highlighted that consumers are actively seeking portable items that deliver functional benefits like protein without compromising on taste.
“Nobby’s Protein Coated Almonds meet that demand for functionality, while staying true to the bold, flavour-forward snacks that Nobby’s is known for,” said Horley.
The product carries an RRP of $6 and is available across selected independent grocers, petrol and convenience stores.
In May, PepsiCo NZ introduced new snack formats and product lines with two distinct formats: Mini Canisters and Bluebird Crackers.
