    Top Predicted Food Trends for 2019

    As with fashion when it comes to food and nutrition I don’t normally follow trends. Instead looking to the world for inspiration a

    I describe my personal style as classic and easy with interesting twists usually with a story or history behind it. Typically a late adopter to change I tend to look to the past for inspiration rather than to the future.

    So imagine my surprise to find that I’ve actually written about quite a bit of the top predicted food trends for 2019! What??!!! *spits out coffee and then pats herself on the back* I actually AM waaaay more trendy than I previously thought. Well, when it comes to food trends at least!

    These 8 Top 2019 Food Trends are just a small snippet of what the top names in food industry trend predictions – Whole Foods Market, Baum + Whiteman, Technomic, and Pinterest  think will be hot in 2019.

    Check out the 2020 and 2021 Food Trends, too!

    More meals eaten at home

    As the middle class continues to diminish and restaurant prices soar at a much higher inflation rate than grocery store prices people will be making meals at home more frequently.

    White Bean Braised Skillet Chicken topped with homemade Sourdough Bacon Croutons is a quick comforting meal – perfect for weeknights! Skillet chicken recipes | boneless chicken breast | cast iron | stovetop | for dinner | white bean recipes | @Safeway #ad
    White Bean Braised Skillet Chicken Breasts – an easy, comforting family meal.
    Why skrimp on dessert? Restaurant quality Bananas Foster Egg Rolls with Rum Sauce are a deceptively impressive at home dessert.

    With the downturn in restaurant dining establishments will be doing what they can to entice people. Businesses of all types will try to fulfill ever-increasing consumer demands with transparency and accountability along every step of the supply chain, kid friendly menus and restaurant designs, more delivery options, showcasing food as entertainment, and more.
    Also expect to see a rise in single item specialty, counter service and app-only business models as restaurateurs attempt to counteract rising costs without cutting quality.

    Foods from lands near and far

    Flavors from areas typically inaccessible to most Americans are expected to hit it big in the United States in 2019. Tropical Pacific Rim, Polynesian, and Hawaiian flavors are predicted to be everywhere this year. As well as spicy and sour flavors from Israel, Turkey, and Iran and the Phillipines. Carbs are supposed to have a major turn in the spotlight with decadent, stuffed cheese breads (like khatchapuri and manaeesh) combining our desire for both carbs and international flavors. While Szechuen hot pots and dry pots, chinese bings and japanese Katso san are expected to satiate our love for Chinese and Japanese street foods.

    Roasted Garlic Cheese Buns are a savory take on the classic cinnamon roll. Stuffed with three cheeses, loads of garlic and fresh herbs these savory buns are great accompaniment to any meal!  #ad @BridgfordFood #bridgford, #bridgfordfoods #bridgfordkitchen #bakingwithbridgford cheese buns | Breakfast buns recipe | savory rolls | how to make garlic bread | easy cheese rolls recipe | roasted garlic bread  | make ahead freezer meals | breakfast | for a crowd  | garlic rolls | quick easy garlic rolls  | cheese stuffed buns | cheese buns in oven | cheese filling for buns  | garlic rolls with cheese inside | garlic rolls from frozen bread dough | garlic rolls with cream cheese

    Gut healthy probiotics and fermented foods and beverages

    It’s no surprise that probiotic rich foods continue to hit the food pop charts. Fermented foods like saurkraut and kim chi will continue to be thrown in to all sorts of dishes in 2019. Similarly probiotic beverages like kombucha and drinking vinegars will continue to make refreshing, flavorful, naturally fizzy mocktails and cocktails.

    A perfect mixer for cocktails and mocktails kombucha is very easy to make at home.
    Spiked Blueberry Switchel Spritzer is a refreshing, fruity and fizzy way to get your drinking vinegar fix! Spiced rum pairs perfectly with the warm ginger and bright blueberry flavors, but leave it and this delicious switchel cocktail becomes an equally invigorating mocktail!

    Spiked Blueberry Switchel Spritzer is so many food trends all at once 😉

    Ever growing desire for sustainability

    Sustainability is a broad term but generally more and more people are going to be demanding eco friendly packaging and practices. For the most part they’ll be putting their money where their mouth is. Buying up all sort of non-traditional seafood, cuts of meat, and typically overlooked ‘ugly’ and overripe foods. Thus hyper local and root to stem eating will also be gaining traction.

    #LEMLoveToProcess #CollectiveBias #ad
    Hunting, butchering and making sausage from scraps just makes sense but it’s also sustainable and hyper local.
    Banana Chiffon Cake a light and airy cousin to angel food cake and sponge cakes but with tender bite and rich ripe banana flavor. Perfect for all spring’s celebrations! Spring Dessert | Mothers Day dessert | Spring Cake | easy Easter Dessert | simple Easter Cake
    Banana Chiffon Cake turns overripe bananas into something spectacular.

    Meat alternatives

    As the push for more ‘masculine’ vegan food happens expect to see an increase in meat-like vegan foods. From mushroom-starring main dishes and faux meats like jackfruit, seitan and heme-protein rich foods that actually bleed without containing meat. And if you think that’s weird just wait around for lab-grown ‘motherless meat’ to go mainstream.

    Warm Roasted Kale and Mushroom Breakfast Salad is a perfect start to the day and one of my favorite meals to eat while camping.

    Functional foods

    Naturally enhancing your meals and beverages with ingredients that provide a function beyond that of which we typically attribute to food is practice that will be expanding outside of Ayurvedic centers and health food stores in the coming year.

    Adaptogens like ashwagandha, lions mane and cordycps, collagen and chlorophyll will be popping up in beverage infusions of all kinds.

     Blueberry Moon Milk will lull you to sleep with delicious and nourishing adaptogens, cardamom, turmeric and ginger. golden milk | turmeric milk | moon milk | adaptogens | adaptogenic herbs | blueberry milk | blueberry milk tea | what are adaptogens | what is ashwagandha | mucuna
    Blueberry Moon Milk is a nightime calming drink infused with adaptogens, ginger and turmeric.

    Thanks to the mainstreaming of marijuana and CBD expect to see CBD and THC infusions (where legal) in lattes, syrups, elixers, smoothies, cocktails, meals and desserts. Hemp products like hemp seeds, hemp hearts and hemp oil will also see a rise.

    This how-to guide to planning a vacation with friends will have you searching for a reason to get away! Whether for a birthday, bridal party, or other no-reason-at-all you’ll be planning, booking and hosting a "Chill" Friend's Weekend - In for your people in no time. friends getaway weekend away ideas | best friends weekend ideas | how to plan book and pay for a group vacation | Group Vacation Home Rentals | how to plan a friend vacation #AlohaOlala #ad
    CBD and THS infused sodas like Olala are a favorite for chill staycations.

    Unexpected frozen treats

    As consumers constantly demand what’s new and unexpected frozen treats are not out of the hot seat. Ice creams, shaved ice, sorbets, gelatos and pops made in wild flavors from abnormal ingredients are all the rage. Same goes for boozy frozen treats like sorbet mimosas, spiked shakes and alcohol pops.

    A champagne cocktail fitting for the season Cranberry Apple Mimosa Floats are a way to have your dessert and your after dinner drink in one! Cranberry Dessert Mimosa Cocktail for Fall , Thanksgiving and Christmas | homemade gluten free sorbet mimosa recipe | pink apple cider punch for a crowd | #cranberry #apple #sorbet #champagnecocktail
    Homemade Cranberry Apple Cider Sorbet gets a heavy does of champagne for a boozy float but is just as good as a mocktail with sparkling water or kombucha.
    Sweet, refreshing and completely decadent you would never believe this Strawberry Kiwi Cream Float is made completely without soda! #GetFizzy @SparklingIce #ad soda replacement | fruit floats | fruity ice cream float
    An adult-friendly Strawberry Kiwi Ice Cream Float made with sparkling water instead of soda would also be great spiked with a shot of vodka or rum!

    Upgraded snacks

    Artisanal and to-go versions of childhood snacks, geared mainly towards keto will be huge this year.

    Simple to put together, this Upscale Charcuterie Grazing Table is sure to WOW guests over the holidays. Or any time of year!  what to pair with aged cheddar | appetizers | canape ideas | fancy | christmas | new years eve | champagne and cheese #Tillamook #dairydoneright #ad @tillamook
    Grazing tables with cheese, fruit, crackers and more are like huge adult cheese and snack trays.

    Syrups, teas, ginger and more!

    Foil pack dinners, ginger infused everything, from tea infusions to syrup, sea vegetables and other ‘new’ greens, fruit preserves, oat milk, ghee and other ‘new fats’, sensory foods and so much more!
