Not-quite-meat meat has been having a moment this year—just look at the famously pro-meat food chains. Burger King’s Impossible Whopper exists and KFC has been testing its own chickenless fried chicken. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have a hot vegan-friendly option on your menu.

Cow milk is out of style right now. Bet you didn’t think you’d ever read that statement, because to be honest, we never thought we’d write it. The utter beverage still exists, but it’s no question that the alternatives are the more popular amongst cosmopolitans at the moment. Almond and soy milk have been around for a minute, but it’s oat milk that’s recently become the star. Sales of oat milk have increased by 23 percent between 2017-18 and it’s still remained a fascination partly because it’s less likely than almond milk to get chunky in iced beverages. [1] With brands like Silk, Califia Farms, Pacific, and more to choose from for oat milk in bulk – there’s no excuse not to test this trend out.
