Top 100 Food Trends in July

From Ice Cream-Inspired Cookies to Tie-Dye Chocolate Bars

— July 17, 2021 — Lifestyle
Summer is a time for a little indulgence and the July 2021 food trends reflect that.

Though ice cream has long been a summer staple, food brands have recently begun experimenting with this warm weather treat in different formats. For instance, Insomnia Cookies debuted a tasty lineup of Ice Cream-Inspired Cookies, which includes classic flavors such as Orange Creamsicle and Rocky Road. True Scoops is also changing the way consumers enjoy ice cream with ice cream mixes that you can prepare at home.

The July 2021 food trends also appear to be influenced by some of the major clothing trends of the season. Tie-dye patterns have found their way into food in the form of eye-catching products like Compartés' new Rainbow Tie Dye Chocolate Bar. This kind of bright color palette is also reflected in products like the Kit Kat Fruity Cereal bar, which is inspired by Foot Loops cereal.
