Hilo Life Launches at Sprouts, Hy-Vee and Woodman’s Markets

Hilo Life, a new keto brand on a mission to provide low carb snacks with bold flavors and a satisfying crunch, expands into grocery stores this month with Sprouts Farmers Market, Hy-Vee, Inc. and Woodman’s Markets.

After launching exclusively on e-commerce in late 2019, the brand quickly found loyal customers on Amazon, amassing more than 1,000 five-star reviews and ranking No. 1 in the snack mix subcategory on Amazon sales rankings. Hilo Life’s online success has resulted in new brick-and-mortar partnerships with Sprouts Farmers Market and Hy-Vee, Inc., leading grocers in natural foods, health and wellness.

“Hilo Life fills an important gap in the low carb category. Keto consumers told us they missed crunchy, flavorful foods, especially in the snack food aisle, so we saw an opportunity to innovate and fill that void – we call it ‘Noshtalgia.’ It’s about missing the little things when you’re eating low carb, from the crinkle of opening a chip bag to the feel of a satisfying crunch and even licking the cheese dust off your fingers,” said Amanda Cheung, brand director for Hilo Life. “We create keto-friendly snacks where there is nothing to miss – you can have it all.”

Hilo Life nut and cheese snack mixes have only 4g net carbs (or less), at least 9g protein and 0g added sugar. Available in three flavors, Piece-A-Pizza, Really Ranchy and Super Cheesy, the grab and go snacks satisfy comfort food cravings. The snacks are now available at all 364 Sprouts Farmers Markets across 23 states, throughout the Midwest in select Hy-Vee stores and at all Woodman’s Markets.
