The company is relaunching its business model to give consumers greater flexibility and control over how they access real, whole foods. Customers can now choose a-la-carte purchases or opt into auto-replenish plans with added perks, while the product lineup expands to include High Protein Oat Bowls, Elixirs, and Power 6 Smoothies. Following its acquisition by [Chobani](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-winter-specials), Daily Harvest is strategically positioning itself to lead in the wellness and frozen foods categories, reflecting broader trends in [direct-to-consumer innovation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/direct-to-consumer-supplement) and evolving CPG offerings.
