Selling Frozen Food Online: Plant-Based Snacks Are The New Mainstream

Selling frozen food online? Don’t forget plant-based food options for the most connected generations.

Millennials (approximately ages 21-35) and Generation Z (approximately age 20 and under) are moving the vegan lifestyle to the mainstream.

• 15 million Americans—6%  of the U.S. population— call themselves vegans.
• They avoid both meat and any other animal-derived food.
  • For example, cow’s milk, eggs, fish, and honey are all out for vegans.
• Most vegans are either millennial or Generation Z.
• They turn to plant-based milk and meat alternatives.
  • Generation Z consumes more plant-based milk than any other generation. They’ve even consumed 550% more plant-based milk than millennials!
  • Thanks to demand, the world’s plant-based meat sales should well exceed $5 billion (USD) by 2020.

And these young generations put increased importance on the snack.

• In fact, they eat more “snacks” (or smaller meals) throughout the day than larger meals.
• And the snack, not the large meal, is the most important meal occasion of the day.

In addition, veganism goes hand in hand with other eating trends that younger generations have adopted.

• They want adventurous tastes and textures of food.
• But, they also want ethical food—sustainable food with a clearly identifiable source.
• And they’re most open to buying food on the internet. This makes sense—most are connected 24/7.

Thus, if you’re selling frozen food online, you’ll need to include frozen vegan snack foods! They satisfy all the cravings of millennials and members of Generation Z, with added convenience.

Read on to find out more about frozen snacks containing vegan-approved meat and cheese alternatives.
