# Asian-Inspired Oatmeal Cups Yishi's Plant-Based Oatmeal Cups Have Flavors Like Matcha & Bubble Tea By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2021-06-02 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-oatmeal References: [foodbusinessnews.net](https://www.foodbusinessnews.net/media/photos/4272-innovation-at-expo-west-virtual-week) & [yishifoods](https://yishifoods.com/) Yishi (by [Crave](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gummyboba-candy)) is a new line of single-serve, plant-based oatmeal cups with [Asian-inspired flavors like Matcha Latte](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantiigood), Toasted Black Sesame and Taro Bubble Tea. The oatmeal cups offer different flavor experiences than the usual maple sugar and [apple cinnamon varieties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apples-cinnamon), plus they're packed with nutritious ingredients like gluten-free oats, flax seeds, hemp seeds and almonds. Free from added sugars, the oatmeal cups are sweetened instead with a blend of stevia and erythritol. Each of the single-serve oatmeal cups is not only flavorful but functional, since each one is linked to a different benefit. Those who are looking for calm will gravitate to the Sweet Osmanthus variety with soybeans and turmeric, while the Red Bean Berry flavor for radiance shares a recipe with adzuki beans, jujube dates, beetroot, goji berries and cherries. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Plant-based Convenience Food:** There is an opportunity to create more plant-based on-the-go meal and snack options, offering consumers healthier and sustainable alternatives to traditional convenience food. - **Asian-inspired Flavors:** Incorporating unique and trendy flavors in food products, such as those used in these oatmeal cups, can attract customers who are looking for new and exciting taste experiences. - **Functional Food:** By linking each oatmeal cup flavor with a specific benefit, Yishi's product is tapping into the growing trend of functional food, which provides not only sustenance but also additional health benefits. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Plant-based Food:** Plant-based food companies can explore opportunities to expand their product lines by creating more convenient and on-the-go options, like Yishi's oatmeal cups. - **Snack Food:** Snack food companies can innovate by incorporating new and unique flavors, such as Asian-inspired flavors, into their products to keep up with changing consumer preferences. - **Health and Wellness:** As functional foods gain popularity, health and wellness companies can create products that offer multiple benefits, making them more appealing to consumers who prioritize holistic health. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spicy Chocolate Oatmeals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chili-chocolate-oatmeal.md) - [Plant Protein Oatmeal Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-oatmeal-cups.md) - [Plant-Based Overnight Oats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocojune.md) - [Plant-Powered Breakfast Jars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oatsu.md) - [Unique Ready-to-Eat Oats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemon-and-chocolate-coconut.md) - [Customizable Oat Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oakmeal.md) - [High-Fiber Instant Oatmeals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mylk-labs.md) - [Snackable Oat Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anytime-oat-crumbles.md) - [Dessert-Like Oatmeal Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oatmeal-bowls.md)
