# Vegan Coffee Smoothies Honestly YUM's Organic Smoothie is Free From Dairy Additives By Jana Pijak | Published 2015-08-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-smoothie References: [honestlyyum](http://honestlyyum.com/14240/vegan-coffee-smoothies/) For those looking to start their day off right, a morning cup of coffee or an organic smoothie are both great choices but this recipe from Honestly [YUM](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yumbrew) blends the best of both worlds. The [dairy-free beverage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iced-coffee-range) boosts energy levels naturally and is made from a blend of coffee, almond milk and almond butter ingredients. Once blended together, the ingredients are mixed with two dates -- acting as a natural sweetener -- and a natural garnish like flax or chia seeds. For those who aren't vegan, Honestly YUM also suggests a healthy helping of bee pollen. The unexpected ingredient is not only healthy but can also be used as a tasty garnish for this organic smoothie. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Vegan Coffee Smoothies:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop and market a line of ready-to-drink vegan coffee smoothies that combine the energy boost of coffee with the health benefits of plant-based ingredients. - **Dairy-free Beverages:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative dairy-free beverages using alternative ingredients like almond milk and almond butter, catering to the growing demand for plant-based and vegan products. - **Natural Sweeteners:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop natural sweeteners that can be used as alternatives to refined sugars in beverages, offering healthier options without sacrificing taste. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Beverage Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate dairy-free, vegan, and healthy beverage options into existing product offerings to meet the changing preferences of health-conscious consumers. - **Plant-based Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expand the product range of plant-based food companies to include innovative dairy-free beverages, tapping into the growing market of consumers seeking plant-based alternatives. - **Alternative Sweetener Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop and market natural sweeteners as a healthier alternative to traditional sugar, targeting health-conscious individuals looking to reduce their sugar intake. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Well-Blended Green Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radiant-greens-organic-smoothie.md) - [Dairy-Free Iced Latte Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atlr72-green-drop-coffee.md) - [Dairy-Free Coffee Enhancers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/non-dairy-coffee-enhancer.md) - [Dairy-Free Latte Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melvados-x-prefer.md) - [Fruit-Forward Dairy-Free Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nondairy-smoothies.md) - [Vegan Mocha Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-chocolate.md) - [Plant-Powered RTD Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daysmith-coffee.md) - [Dairy-Free Cold Brew Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/so-delicious-x-stok-cold-brew-coffee.md) - [Decadent Dairy-Free Creamers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairyfree-coffee-creamers.md)
