The innovative take on creating a white chili offers an unconventional medley of flavors mixed together to create a refreshing and spicy stew. Rather than opting for a tomato base, this white chili uses [cashew nut milk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coconut-cashew-milk) as the base mixed with a vegetable broth to create a creamy consistency. To that traditional chili spices such as cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic, salt and pepper are added along with untraditional veggies such as cauliflower, fresh avocado, jalapenos and white beans. The dish is served with [cilantro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hearty-fireside-chili) and crushed tortilla chips to complete the meal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 80% | 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) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Vegan Chili Recipes:** This trend highlights the growing popularity of plant-based chili recipes, presenting opportunities for companies to create innovative and flavorful meatless chili options. - **Alternative Milk Bases:** The use of cashew milk as a base for chili showcases the trend of exploring non-traditional milk alternatives, opening doors for companies to develop unique plant-based products. - **Unconventional Flavor Combinations:** The combination of cauliflower, quinoa, and cashew milk in a chili represents the trend of experimenting with unusual flavors, inspiring companies to create inventive and surprising culinary experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Plant-based Food Industry:** This trend presents opportunities for companies in the plant-based food industry to create and market innovative and delicious vegan chili options. - **Alternative Milk Industry:** The use of cashew milk as a base for chili opens up possibilities for companies in the alternative milk industry to develop and promote unique plant-based milk products for cooking and recipes. - **Spice and Seasoning Industry:** The unconventional flavor combinations in this white chili recipe suggest opportunities for companies in the spice and seasoning industry to create and offer new blends that cater to adventurous palates. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Based Bean Chilis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-chili-with-beans.md) - [Cheesy Dairy-Free Quesos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-queso.md) - [Cauliflower-Based Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cauliflower-based-ice-cream.md) - [Nutritious Free-From Snack Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caulitos.md) - [Cashew-Based Sour Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-sour-cream.md) - [Heat-and-Eat Eggless Chilis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-chilis.md) - [Cauliflower-Based Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camembert-alternative.md) - [Seasonal Creamy Chilis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-beef-chili.md) - [Creamy Plant Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coconut-cashew-milk.md)
