The organic Gluten-Free Vanilla Bean Sammie features a pair of gluten-free chocolate wafers and a center filling of vanilla bean ice cream. Although some kinds of free-from products can feel like a compromise, these ones promise "only the good stuff." These gluten-free, organic frozen treats join the brand's range of decadent desserts that cater to a wide range of dietary needs and preferences. Alongside its gluten-free ice cream sandwiches, Alden's Organic also makes dairy-free options and other flavors in the form of bars and mini squares. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Gluten-free Desserts:** Opportunity for businesses to capitalize on the demand for healthier dessert options by creating gluten-free versions of traditional desserts. - **Organic Ice Cream:** Organic ice cream is becoming increasingly popular as consumers become more health-conscious and demand higher quality ingredients. - **Free-from Products:** The demand for free-from products is on the rise as consumers seek out options that cater to their dietary needs and preferences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry has the opportunity to innovate by creating new free-from and healthier dessert options for consumers. - **Health and Wellness:** The health and wellness industry can benefit from the increasing demand for organic and gluten-free products by offering services related to nutrition and dietary needs. - **Retail:** Retailers have the opportunity to offer a wider variety of free-from products in their stores to cater to the growing demand from health-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Oat-Based Dessert Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oatmilk-frozen-dessert-sandwiches.md) - [Diminutive Cookie Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diminutive-cookie-sandwich.md) - [Dairy-Free Ice Cream Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oat-nondairy-frozen-dessert-sandwiches.md) - [Portion-Sized Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-frozen-desserts.md) - [Gluten-Free Iconic Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-sandwich-cookies.md) - [Free-From Dessert Squares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fudge-n-vanilla-squares.md) - [Reduced Sugar Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glutino-sandwich-cookies.md) - [Upcycled Gluten-Free Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-chip-crispy-cookies.md) - [Free-From Ice Cream Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weis-by-nature.md)
