Whole Foods just released its first-ever plant-based food trends report, just in time for the summer and these are the top five plant-based food trends to look out for in your grocery stores.
Alternative Cheeses
Charcuterie boards are all the rage and if you’re eating plant-based, you can still enjoy these typically meat and cheese boards with dairy-free cheese alternatives. Cheese alternatives have gotten upgrades and they taste better than ever with nut-milk-based cheeses with gourmet ingredients.
All-Inclusive BBQ
Barbecue season is hard for vegans and vegetarians and at parties, they’re lucky if there’s a veggie burger. Now there are tons of creative main options like plant-based hot dogs, jackfruit burgers, and Italian-style sausages.
Plant-Powered Kids’ Foods
Kids’ approved snacks like meat and dairy-free nuggets, cheese, yogurts, and ice pops are super trendy, and they taste much better than they used to.
Seafood Swaps
Banana blossoms and legumes are being used to recreate the flaky texture of fish and they’re great in sandwiches, tacos, and “burgers”.
Vegan Food (@elephantasticvegan)Non-Dairy Dips
Plant-based alternatives make for smooth and creamy dips that pair well with chips and veggies. Look out for non-dairy queso, French onion, “cream cheese”, and tzatziki dips.

]]>As the year slowly comes to a close, predictions for 2021 trends are popping up everywhere. Whole Foods’ list of predictions is one of the most anticipated ones in the culinary world and their trend predictions for 2021 are putting emphasis on health and wellness.
Many of the food trends they’re predicting are a reflection of the declining meat sales in the last few years. As more people shift towards a vegan diet, plant-based foods are on the rise, and Whole Foods says that we’re going to fall in love with fruit and veggie jerky and chickpea-based meals in 2021.
Whole Foods is also predicting that we’ll try to give our immune system a boost by turning to probiotics, fermented foods, and superfoods with functional ingredients. Innovations are even entering the baby food market, with a wide range of healthier options to choose from.
Upcycled foods, alternative breakfast options, cooking from scratch, and healthier plant-based oils will also be trending in 2021. When it comes to drinks, coffee is making its way into our daily lives through new flavored products, such as smoothies and granola bars. Whole Foods is also predicting that we’ll be crazy about alcoholic kombucha next year.
