Here Design worked with Deliciously [Ella](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seed-crackers) to refresh the blogger-created brand's [plant-based food line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waitrose-plantliving-range), which inspires consumers to embrace healthy options and vibrant ingredients with gluten-free and vegan-friendly choices.

Some of the products offered in the range include superfood-packed energy balls made with minimal ingredients, muesli breakfast pots, savory pies and cakes, chili and more. With the rise of plant-based eating, many consumers are coming to recognize the same message that Deliciously Ella puts out, which is that plant-based eating is all about diversity, abundance and creativity rather than lack, deprivation and restriction.

The [colorfully illustrated packaging designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrant-packaging-design) aim to communicate the joy and vibrancy of plant-based foods and provides an eye-catching scheme that can be applied to everything from books and kitchenware to digital content.
