The New Year is only days away. That means the cookies, cakes, and comfort food of the holidays are soon but a distant memory. Consumers are saying goodbye to grandma’s gooey mac & cheese and homemade cookies, and hello to fruits, vegetables, and other better-for-you foods.
This shift from indulgent feasts, to foods on the lighter side might not be as drastic as in years past. In fact, Culinary Visions found that health benefits trumped taste in consumers’ snack selections year round.
We know what they DON’T want (less salt, less fat, less carbs, fewer calories, less sugar, etc.) but what are consumers looking for in terms of healthy foods? Here are some stats for inspiration.
- US organic food sales totaled $47.9 billion in 2018, according to a survey from the Organic Trade Organization. Fruits and vegetables made up 36% of these sales, so keep pushing the produce.
- 39 states choose broccoli as their favorite vegetable, per a survey

Treats to help customers jump-start their resolutions through the holidays
The New Year is a little more than week away, and that can mean only one thing – resolutions. According to research firm YouGov, 54% of Americans resolved to eat healthier heading into 2019. We can expect similar numbers going into 2020. While consumers are looking to eat healthier, on-the-go snacks tallied up $1.1 billion worth of business in 2018, according to Nielsen, and the market is growing. It seems consumers are not willing to skip snacks to achieve their fitness goals.
Meet your customers in the middle with small indulgences that combine better-for-you ingredients like nuts and dried fruit. Here are some of our favorites that help make the transition from the holiday table to the gym bag.

Why Your Customers Want These 5 Drinkware Products
Single-use plastic bottles and paper cups are going the way of the plastic bag. A new law enacted in Berkeley, California that goes into effect in January 2020 will require businesses to add a 25-cent charge for single-use paper cups. The law is intended to help reduce waste. With 120 billion paper and styrofoam cups thrown away in the US each year, measures such as this have the potential to make a major impact on spreading awareness about waste and its effect on our environment. California is typically a trailblazer for laws of this type, so we can anticipate similar laws in other cities and states.
