For Plant Power Day on March 7th, Alpro will be making the plant-based meal and its entirely edible packaging available [Deliveroo Editions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clothing-repair-service). As a dairy alternative brand, Alpro is putting a plant-powered spin on conventional chicken and chips meals with [mushroom "nuggets"](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tater-cheezz-nuggets) that feature the Alpro Almond Unsweetened drink as an included ingredient, sweet potato fries and a garlic dip. Each of these plant-based creations is served in a bucket that is made of a combination of nuts, spices and fennel, nigella, pumpkin and sesame seeds—just as the plant-based nuggets and fries pair well with the creamy dip, so does the edible bucket. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Plant-based Packaging:** Creating edible packaging made from plant-based materials to reduce waste and offer a sustainable alternative to traditional packaging. - **Plant-based Convenience Meals:** Offering plant-based meals that are convenient and easy to consume, especially with the rise of delivery services like Deliveroo. - **Innovative Ingredient Use:** Experimenting with non-traditional ingredients, such as almond drink, to create unique and flavorful plant-based meals. ### Where This Applies - **Food Packaging:** Creating sustainable packaging solutions for food products, especially as consumers become more environmentally conscious and demand more eco-friendly options. - **Plant-based Food:** Developing a wider range of plant-based food products in response to increasing demand from consumers who prioritize health, sustainability, and animal welfare. - **Food Delivery Services:** Partnering with food delivery services to offer innovative and convenient plant-based meals, particularly as more people order food delivery due to stay-at-home measures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Based Bottled Meal Replacements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpro-meal-to-go.md) - [Upcycled Vegetable Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetable-packaging1.md) - [Plant-Based Protein-Rich Alt Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpro-plant-protein.md) - [Meat-Free Protein Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-pot.md) - [Plant-Based Foodservice Nuggets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mycoprotein-nuggets.md) - [Inaugural Plant-Based Chicken Fillets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantaway-chickn-fillet.md) - [Pea-Based Vegan Nuggets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-nugget.md) - [Fully Compostable Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compostable-seed-packaging.md) - [Plant-Based Protein Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-powered-meal-bowls.md)
