  • With the shorter, colder days, we love nothing more than catching up on some zzzzz's ✨ which is why we're so excited to see that Moon Juice has launched a new cherry-flavored version of its fan-favorite Magnesi-Om powder, the star ingredient behind TikTok's viral "Sleepy Girl Mocktail." This new version is packed with magnesium and L-Theanine for relaxation, plus melatonin to give sleep routines a helping hand—perfect for anyone looking to unwind before bed. And because we all love a bit of extra style, the new flavor 🍒 is available as part of a limited-edition kit that includes a handblown cocktail glass and cherry-shaped stirrer, so you can sip your way to dreamland. Restful nights are calling! 🛏️💫 #MoonJuice #WellnessTrends #Sleep

    At Brand Now, we've been tracking this trend closely: fiber is having a major moment in CPG, but in a completely new way. From functional beverages to smoothie boosters, brands are reimagining how to deliver this familiar nutrient to consumers who understand and want its benefits. Read more about why we think this shift matters for product innovation in 2025 and beyond. #CPGTrends #ProductInnovation #FoodAndBeverage #ConsumerInsights

    🌟 The Return of Fiber: CPG's Next Big Wave Who would have thought fiber would be making headlines again? But here we are in 2024, and this humble nutrient is having yet another turn in the CPG spotlight. The timing couldn't be better. As conversations around GLP-1s dominate wellness circles, consumers are rediscovering fiber's natural role in appetite regulation. Data shows searches for fiber-rich foods are up 29% this year – and smart brands are taking notice. Remember the protein-and-fiber boom of the early 2000s? This time feels different. We're seeing fiber show up in unexpected places: sparkling waters, smoothie boosters, and even sodas. Even though brands like poppi and Jones Soda Co. already contain fiber, there's a fascinating consumer psychology at play. While terms like "prebiotics" and "probiotics" can feel scientific and distant, everyone understands fiber. It's familiar. It's trusted. And yes, we all know exactly what it does for our digestion 😉 Leading the charge in the beverage space, pioneers like Bruno Gorgulho Rodrigues at vibi+ and Tom Bushkie at hellowater are revolutionizing how we think about functional hydration. They're proving that getting your daily fiber doesn't have to mean choking down supplements or forcing down another bowl of bran cereal. The innovation opportunity here is massive. As we look toward 2025, expect to see fiber-fortified products expanding beyond traditional categories. The real winners will be brands that can make fiber both functional AND delicious. #CPG #FoodInnovation #Wellness #ConsumerTrends #ProductDevelopment Photo by Vanessa Loring

  • We love how Seed Health is raising the bar on testing and validation in the wellness space. Their new launch, VS-01™, is the first clinically validated vaginal probiotic suppository. It targets the root cause of imbalances—instead of just the symptoms—by optimizing the microbiome with three proprietary L. crispatus strains (good bacteria that defend against vaginal pH imbalance 💪 ). This system promises to protect from daily disruptions and maintain stability. Needless to say, we're all for the clinically validated, science-backed choice when it comes to staying healthy. #WomensHealth #Healthcare #Innovation

    The real test of strength isn't found in perfect conditions – it's revealed in those dreary moments when your alarm goes off at dawn and every fiber of your being wants to stay in bed. This hit home during my Thanksgiving turkey trot. Rain was falling, skies were gray, and my warm bed was calling. But as two fellow runners at the starting line remarked, "What else were we going to do, stay in bed?" Sometimes being a leader is simply about showing up when others don't. The race taught me another crucial lesson. Despite pushing harder than ever – improving my pace by 1:11 over last year – I still finished third in my age group, just like last year. A competitor surged past me in the final stretch (you can see me behind her in this picture from the last .2 mile), and though I had given it my all, I couldn't match her finish. So what did I learn? First, progress isn't always visible in the standings. While I finished in the same position, I had outperformed my former, slightly younger self. As leaders, we sometimes measure ourselves against others when we should be tracking our own growth trajectory. Second, disappointment is often the price of ambition. If you're never disappointed, you're probably not pushing hard enough. The most meaningful goals – the ones worth pursuing – come with the risk of falling short. Finally, success is about managing the gap between expectations and reality. It's about finding motivation in the rain, pushing through when you're running alone, and maintaining perspective when outcomes don't match efforts. The true measure of leadership isn't in avoiding misery or disappointment – it's in how we respond to them. Sometimes that means getting out of bed when others won't. Sometimes it means celebrating personal bests even when they don't come with medals. Although it is really nice when they do. 🏆 #Leadership #PersonalGrowth #Resilience #ProfessionalDevelopment

  • Delicious news from Kraft Heinz...they've just dropped what might be the most exciting mac & cheese mashup yet: Everything Bagel flavor 🙌 After years of fans creating their own "mac hacks," KRAFT listened and delivered. This isn't just another flavor—it's the winner of their "Fan Flavorites" program, bringing together two comfort food classics in one box. The Everything Bagel edition is ultra-exclusive, there are fewer than 15,000 boxes available (that's less than 2% of their daily Original sales). Pre-sale just started...so time to get to it! 🏃♀️ 🏃♀️ 🏃♀️ #KraftMacAndCheese #FoodInnovation #EverythingBagel
