# Vegetable-Infused Cheese Strings Burnett Dairy Blends Mozzarella and All-Natural Vegetables By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-07-07 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-string References: [dairyfoods](http://www.dairyfoods.com/articles/91814-new-dairy-products-that-answer-the-call-for-convenience) & [burnettdairy](https://www.burnettdairy.com/shop/products?brand=14) Burnett Dairy Cooperative recently expanded upon its line of cheese string products with an inventive new flavor that combines cheese and vegetables. The single-serve 'Garden Veggies' string cheese snacks are made with a blend of mozzarella and all-natural vegetables, which results in a snack that's rich in protein. The protein content in this snack is particularly significant because Garden Veggies is a new string cheese flavor from Burnett Dairy that offers a vegetarian alternative to its other flavors like Pepperoni Pizza, Zesty Teriyaki and Hot Pepper Beef. Since convenience is usually top-of-mind for most consumers, there is a high demand for single-serve dairy products in the form of sticks, slices and shreds. At the same time, vegetables are becoming popular additions to conventional dairy products like cottage cheese and yogurt. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Single-serve Dairy Products:** Opportunity for creating convenient, on-the-go dairy products such as single-serve sticks, slices, and shreds. - **Vegetable-infused Dairy Products:** Opportunity to incorporate vegetables into conventional dairy products, expanding flavor options and attracting health-conscious consumers. - **Vegetarian Alternatives in Dairy:** Opportunity to create vegetarian options in the dairy industry, meeting the needs of consumers looking for meat-free alternatives. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Dairy Product Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in developing and producing single-serve dairy products and vegetable-infused dairy products. - **Convenience Food Industry:** Opportunity to expand product offerings to include convenient and healthy dairy-based snacks for on-the-go consumption. - **Vegetarian Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for dairy manufacturers to create vegetarian alternatives, tapping into the growing market of plant-based food. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Savory Stick-Style Cheese Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sargento-cheese-snacks.md) - [Clean Label Veggie-Based Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-veggie-snacks-products.md) - [Protein-Driven Cheese Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-cheese-sticks.md) - [Better-For-You Veggie Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hain-celestial-garden-veggie-snacks.md) - [Vegetarian-Friendly Cheese Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetarian-cheese.md) - [Spooky String Cheese Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strings-things-scarestrings.md) - [Truffle-Flavored Frozen Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mozzarella-style-sticks-with-truffle-flavor.md) - [Flavorful Cheese Stick Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-sticks.md) - [Carrot-Based Cheese Slices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-from-carrots.md)
