Almond Alternative

Almonds are functioning as an alternative base in a variety of food products

Implications - Almond-based ingredients are becoming increasingly common as an alternative to everything from dairy to traditional flour. More than being useful for individuals with restricted diets for health-related purposes, these products also feed on consumers’ sense of curiosity and willingness to try familiar foods in distinct formats.
Workshop Question - How could your brand make some of its more familiar products/services more unique?
Trend Themes

3. Indulgent Non-dairy Snacks - Non-dairy alternatives to indulgent snacks, such as yogurt with toppings, are becoming popular amongst consumers seeking out dairy-free snacks.
Industry Implications
