Lil’Goodness launch snacks featuring Marvel and Disney characters

Health-focused foods and snacks maker Lil’Goodness announced the launch of products inspired by Disney characters and Marvel Super Heroes that aim to revolutionize the munching habits of the younger generation. 

The company is rolling out an assortment of prebiotic chocolates and extruded snack products as a part of this offering, with some of the well-known Disney and Marvel characters on the packs. Lil’Goodness will also launch a unique on-pack innovation, where the pack assembles into a Marvel character as a collectible item, thereby enabling reuse of 80% of the package, significantly improving the sustainability impact of each pack. The packs will also contain a digital gamification experience which will create awareness about healthy snacking amongst younger generations.

The palm jaggery sweetened prebiotic chocolates are made using single origin, Indian cocoa sourced ethically from farms in Karnataka.

The extruded snacks (puffs) contain nearly 50% of supergrains teff and quinoa, which provide essential vitamins and minerals such as iron, calcium, Vitamin C, Zinc, 12g of proteins in 100g while containing zero cholesterol, trans fats and zero preservatives. This is a first of its kind snack which uses the super grain teff, one of the tiniest grains in the world, well known for its use with endurance athletes because of its high iron and protein content, while having a low glycemic index making it a balanced tasty snack that kids and adults can munch on anytime. With an affordable pricing that starts at Rs. 30 for a 30g pack, the super grain puffs are designed to bring premium healthy snacking to the mass consumer segments.
