FOOD TRENDS Fiber Fortification A Gourmet portions, cheese for everyone's needs. dvancements in soluble fibers have made it easier to create fiber-rich beverages, which are sure to please the increasing number of shoppers seeking to improve diges- tive and immune health and weight loss. And with on-the-go packaging, like powdered drink sticks and bot- tled shakes, fiber-rich beverages are slated to fill up shelf space. A report by Mintel's Global New Products Database shows that between 2009 and 2011, 92 beverage products launched in the U.S. touted a "high or added fiber" claim. Some of the newbies include Naked Blue Machine Boosted 100 percent Juice Smoothie, which contains 7 grams of dietary fiber per serving; YZ Digestive Health Drink Mix in Lemon Ginger containing 3 grams of prebiotic fiber and electrolytes; and Elevate Enhanced Natural Fiber Water, which contains 3 grams of soluble fiber in each serving.
