However, now that cottage cheese is emerging as a high-protein dairy snack that lends itself well to both sweet and savory applications, brands are experimenting with a number of unique pairings to enhance both the taste and texture of the product. [DairyPure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk50-by-dairypure) recently launched its Mix-Ins cottage cheese cups with two kinds of fruit add-ins—Blueberry or Pineapple—as well as Peaches with Pecans and Strawberries with Almonds varieties that include domed compartments filled with crunchy nut toppings. In each 5.3-ounce cup, there are between 15 to 17 grams of protein. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Single-serve Cottage Cheese Cups:** The trend of packaging cottage cheese in single-serve cups with separate compartments for toppings presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the dairy snack industry. - **Unique Pairings for Cottage Cheese:** Brands experimenting with unique pairings of fruits and nuts with cottage cheese create opportunities for disruptive innovation in the high-protein dairy snack market. - **High-protein Dairy Snacks:** The emergence of cottage cheese as a high-protein dairy snack opens doors for disruptive innovations in the healthy snacking industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Packaging:** Innovations in packaging technology to accommodate separate compartments for toppings can disrupt the cottage cheese snack industry. - **Food Manufacturing:** Food manufacturers that experiment with unique fruit and nut pairings for cottage cheese can disrupt the dairy snack market. - **Healthy Snack:** The rise of cottage cheese as a high-protein dairy snack creates opportunities for disruptive innovation within the healthy snacking industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Convenient Cottage Cheese Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prairie-farms-propack-snack.md) - [Fruit-Forward Cottage Cheese Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-things-dairy-cottage-cheese.md) - [Fruit-Topped Cottage Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cottage-cheese-with-pineapple.md) - [Fruity Textural Cottage Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hood-cottage-cheese-medleys.md) - [Fruit-Based Cottage Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-things-dairy.md) - [Topping-Paired Yogurt Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noosa-mixins.md) - [Smooth Protein-Rich Cheese Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kemps-smooth-cottage-cheese.md) - [Cottage Cheese Ice Cream Pints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smearcase.md) - [Protein Cottage Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cottage-cheese-range.md)
