From protein-packed snacks to dairy-free desserts, the February 2022 food trends demonstrate that consumers continue to look for better-for-you versions of their favorite foods.
Protein has been a star ingredient for several years now and that doesn't seem to be changing any time soon. Consumers have more protein-packed food options than ever before and many of them come in the form of travel-friendly snacks. For instance, the Snack brand Lenny & Larry’s just launched a new cookie called Complete Cremes, which are better-for-you sandwich cookies with a creamy filling and 5 grams of plant-based protein.
Of course, finding healthier snacks isn't always about adding ingredients – sometimes it means taking them out. For instance, dairy-free foods continue to dominate the February 2022 food trends with products like Yee Kwan's coconut-based ice creams and Philadelphia's new Plant Based cream cheese spread.
