# Savory Quinoa Drinks NUWI Quinoa Snacks Take the Form of Beverages By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-08-02 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuwi References: [packagingoftheworld](http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2014/08/nuwi.html) & [nuwi.us](http://www.nuwi.us/) Quinoa is a superfood that has gotten a lot of attention over the last couple of years, but NUWI is bringing a fresh take to the ancient grain in liquid form. Quinoa is quite popular as a base for breakfasts, lunches and dinners, but in drink form, quinoa becomes a lot easier to consume as as a snack. NUWI's drinks blend quinoa with [fruit and vegetable juices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunrise-greens), resulting in something that's like a super fortified smoothie. In addition to sweet fruit flavors like Strawberry, Blueberry and Apple, the brand also has some interesting [savory flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-stone) that include [Split Peas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nowhey), Carrots & Ginger, as well as Tomato. On top of this, NUWI's beverages are even more beneficial for you by not containing any refined sugars, dairy, soy, gluten or any genetically modified ingredients. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Quinoa-based Beverages:** Opportunity for introducing new and innovative quinoa-based drink products to the market. - **Savory Drink Options:** Potential to tap into the growing demand for savory and healthy beverage options. - **Natural and Superfood Drinks:** Market potential for creating beverages that combine quinoa with other nutritious ingredients. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Health and Wellness:** Opportunity for health and wellness companies to expand their product offerings with quinoa-based beverages. - **Food and Beverage:** Potential for beverage manufacturers to diversify their product range by incorporating quinoa as a key ingredient. - **Alternative Snacks:** Opportunity for snack manufacturers to explore quinoa-based beverages as an alternative snack option for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Quinoa-Based Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quinoa-beer.md) - [Kid-Friendly Nutritional Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gnubees.md) - [Oat-Infused Fruit Juices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/youce-by-vaihinge.md) - [Plant-Based Shelf-Stable Protein Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koia-nutrition-shakes.md) - [Snackable Gut-Friendly Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oat-shaker.md) - [Beverage-Boosting Wellness Powders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutr-blends.md) - [Hydration-Optimizing Drink Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuun-sport-hydration-powder-drink-mixes.md) - [Kid-Friendly Smoothie Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innocent-super-smoothie.md) - [Strawberry Guava-Inspired Plant-Based Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-guava.md)
