Unexpected Nourishment

Consumers turn to nutritious variations of savory indulgences for diversity

Implications - Reflecting a growing societal emphasis on healthy living, consumers are turning to indulgent, yet unconventional fruit concoctions to add diversity to routine. Diverting from the traditional dessert options, consumers are topping savory goods with sweet, nutritional elements to add variation to ordinarily simple health recipes. The fruity modification of classics like pizza and sandwiches speaks to a desire for more accessible, and less restricting methods of healthy consumption.
Trend Themes
1. Healthy Indulgence - Consumers turn towards alternative healthy variations of traditionally unhealthy foods.
2. Fruit Topping on Savory Foods - A desire for accessible and less restricting healthy consumption leads consumers to top savory goods with sweet nutritional elements.
3. Innovative Bread Substitutes - Recipes and consumers find innovative and unique ways to replace traditional bread with healthier substitutes.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Companies can create new product lines and variations that cater to the health-conscious consumer.
2. Healthcare - Nutritionists can incorporate these food trends into diets and meal plans for clients.
3. Technology - Tech companies can develop apps with recipes and nutrition information that cater to these health trends.
