Cite Solutions Research

Yoga Bar retained the fragmented Healthy Snacking lead at 39.3% while Gemini broke with the other two engines, ranking The Whole Truth first at 44% citation share.

The move

Yoga Bar held first at 39.3% citation share, up 1.3 percentage points from the previous edition, while The Whole Truth remained second at 32.7%.

ChatGPT and Google AI Mode both picked Yoga Bar as leader, while Gemini ranked The Whole Truth first at 44%, making this the only two-versus-one engine split at the top across any vertical in this edition.

Farmley was the biggest mover, dropping 4.7 percentage points to 15.3% at rank four.

Sixty-three new domains entered the citation pool, including nutrabay.com, pepsico.com, bigbasket.com, and a range of diet-specific community sources.

What it means

Yoga Bar's 39.3% leader share is the lowest of any vertical leader in this edition, placing Healthy Snacking in fragmented territory where no single brand controls the AI-answer narrative.

The Gemini dissent on The Whole Truth is structurally important for buyers: any operator running Gemini-focused content for healthy-snacking queries should benchmark against The Whole Truth first, not Yoga Bar.

Farmley's 4.7 percentage point decline is consistent with a brand cycling through query sets rather than building durable citation equity at rank four.

The entry of pepsico.com and bigbasket.com alongside independent nutrition blogs and community subreddits signals that engines are drawing from both corporate and consumer-research sources in this vertical.

Because the leader holds only 39% share, consistent presence in the newly cited community and editorial domains represents a lower barrier to citation entry than in any other vertical tracked this edition.
