As daily life becomes increasingly fast-paced and meal preparation time continues to shrink, Sargento responded to the growing demand for convenient, nutritious snacks by launching Sweet Balanced Breaks. This innovative product offers a low-calorie, grab-and-go solution designed to bridge the gap between meals without compromising on taste or quality.

Each snack comes in a thoughtfully designed, compartmentalized tray that’s easy to fill, stack, and enjoy—perfect for one-handed snacking during a busy day. Inside, you’ll find a satisfying mix of bite-sized natural cheeses, dried fruits, crunchy nuts, and just a touch of chocolate, offering a delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors. The portion-controlled design makes it ideal for both adults seeking a quick energy boost and children in need of a wholesome treat.

The Sweet Balanced Breaks line quickly became a standout success. Its popularity not only earned it two prestigious industry awards, but also paved the way for new product innovations, including the launch of protein-focused snack packs. Building on this momentum, Sargento entered into a successful co-branding partnership with Triscuit, further expanding the brand’s reach and appeal within the ever-growing healthy snack market.
