Whole Foods Market – March 2025 | Read Full Article
Protein Power-Up
Consumers are looking to incorporate more protein in their diet beyond traditional powders and bars, with an emphasis on ramping up protein consumption at meal times and with “whole food” snacking. Recipes incorporating cottage cheese (still the “it girl” in dairy) may have kick-started customers’ desires to seek out protein in whole food sources, with consumers now prioritizing animal protein. Organ meats are being touted as a superfood providing significant protein, vitamins and minerals, leading shoppers to seek meat blends that combine traditional muscle meat like ground beef with organ meats and making it easier to enjoy the nutritional benefits without having to learn how to prepare liver, kidney or heart.
