Reston, Virginia-based StarKist Co. has announced its newest product: StarKist Smart Bowls, featuring seasoned grains and vegetables with wild–caught tuna, all in a single-serve pouch.
Smart Bowls are available in four flavor varieties, including Latin Citrus, Spicy Pepper, Tomato Basil and Zesty Lemon.
“Smart Bowls introduction was inspired by the popularity of grain bowls- today’s health-conscious consumers are looking for more convenient options that include lean proteins, vegetables and grains,” said Tom Aslin, VP of marketing and innovation at StarKist.
“StarKist is delivering by combining its wild-caught tuna with grains, such as quinoa and barley, as well as hearty vegetables, like beans and corn, which are fully cooked and ready to eat straight from the pouch. The launch of StarKist Smart Bowls is another example of how StarKist is continuing to expand beyond its well-known tuna product line to become a convenient healthy protein company.”
Smart Bowls can be enjoyed directly from the pouch or placed on a bed of greens or other vegetables. They were created to be enjoyed as part of a lunch, snack or in addition to dinner. Each single-serve Smart Bowl pouch has more than 10 grams of protein and 180 calories or less.
The bowls will retail for $1.25 per pouch and can be found in the pouch/canned tuna section at many grocery retailers nationwide.
“StarKist is the leading brand of tuna in the U.S. and has been the innovator in launching pouches and flavors into the category. Smart Bowls is the next step in that evolution,” Aslin said. “Smart Bowls will build on the success that we have had with the StarKist Creations line of tuna, salmon and chicken pouch products that deliver on the flavor and convenience that consumers love.”
