SupplySide Global 2025: Prinova unveils multi-layer functional snack concepts
Key takeaways
- Prinova will unveil Skinny Bites and Longevi Spheres multi-layered snack prototypes this week.
- The concepts blend Prinova’s Smooth Protein (pumpkin seed) and Microfuse (micronized pea protein) technologies with functional ingredients like Treha trehalose and PurColla collagen.
- The launch taps into the top F&B trends for 2026 identified by Innova Market Insights, especially gut health.
Prinova will showcase Skinny Bites and Longevi Spheres, which feature advanced plant and collagen proteins for metabolic and longevity support, at SupplySide Global 2025 in Las Vegas, US, this week.
The concepts highlight synergistic benefits like GLP activity, cellular energy, immune support, and gut health. Innova Market Insights recently announced gut health as the top F&B trend for 2026.
Prinova developed the Skinny Bites by collaborating with PricePlow, a media and marketing platform, as well as Savage Nutra, Master Foods Lab, Protein Science Lab, and NutraMedia.
The prototypes, which will be unveiled in Las Vegas, will highlight a range of functional ingredients that target metabolism, longevity, and healthy aging.
These lemon cake pastries are based on two of Prinova’s plant protein products. Smooth Protein from pumpkin seed delivers a smooth mouthfeel and moist, springy texture, and Microfuse, a micronized pea protein, makes for a pleasant, non-grainy texture.
Functional nutrition
The raspberry cream filling combines vegan protein with vitamin B12 for cellular energy, while other elements contain ingredients designed to boost GLP activity and support metabolic efficiency.
Skinny Bites also contain Treha trehalose, which helps with moisture retention and the smoothing out of flavor notes in high-protein products.
Another prototype is Prinova’s new Longevi Spheres. In addition to Smooth Protein and Treha, the spherical pumpkin spice bites have been developed with extra protein in the form of PurColla hydrolyzed collagen. The company notes that this collagen is highly soluble, allowing for protein fortification without interfering with the cake’s structure.
LongeviSpheres also include ingredients targeting immune health, and gut and eye health, as well as antioxidant defense.
James Street, global marketing director at Prinova, explains that these “meaningful” concepts result from collaborating with top brands to target breakthroughs and develop pioneering prototypes.
“As well as highlighting Prinova’s expertise, they demonstrate what’s possible when formulation experts, ingredient suppliers, and creative partners come together to deliver functional foods that are as enjoyable as they are effective. It’s a project that exemplifies the synergy of science, creativity, and craftsmanship shaping the next generation of functional nutrition,” he says.
