54 Millennial-Friendly Snacks

From Pop-Culture Themed Desserts to Extreme Fast Food Concoctions

— May 29, 2014 — Lifestyle
Middle Earth desserts, sushi-shaped donuts and stacked burger hybrids are just some of the millennial snack ideas that are gaining popularity among today's generation of foodies.

For Generation Y, the search for a mealtime idea often asks the question, is it Instagram worthy? Because of this, Millennials are often on the hunt for unique or extreme meal ideas that offer a little something other than just great taste.

While over-indulgent fast food concoctions are likely to fuse unexpected ingredients, pop culture inspired desserts draw reference from music, celeb culture and cult TV shows. These millennial snack ideas range from extremely unhealthy food items to ultra health-conscious mealtime creations that approach traditional recipes in a fresh way.
