Some training
Create a differentiated snack brand built around a high-protein, unconventional ingredient (e.g., chicken, egg whites, legumes) targeting health-conscious consumers tired of traditional chips. Sell through retail channels, Amazon, and direct-to-consumer, earning margins on bulk manufacturing and branded packaging. Viability comes from the booming better-for-you snack market and clear shelf differentiation in 20,000+ grocery locations.
