There are some food trends millennials love, that boomers just don't get... At least from my experience as a millennial surrounded by boomers! From different ways to have dinner to plant-based meat alternatives and our preferred drinks, these trendy dishes are reshaping the culinary scene. And boomers, please try them! We do love them for a reason... and we're pretty sure you would, too!
IPA
Millennials love hoppy craft beers like India Pale Ales (IPAs), and it goes well beyond the actual taste; it's a celebration of craftsmanship and flavor complexity. These beers symbolize the craft beer movement and the desire for unique and memorable drinking experiences. While boomers often stick with classic beer choices, millennials like IPAs and other more unique versions like fruit beer, not unlike their preferences in other areas in life.
Snacky Meals
Millennials love snacky meals - a mix of small bites and finger foods that are easy to grab and share. Unlike older generations who often prefer more formal, sit-down meals, we view snacky meals as a fun and convenient way to eat in our busy lives.
Golden Latte
Millennials have fallen in love with the golden latte, a cozy and flavorful twist on traditional coffee and tea. Unlike those drinks favored by older generations, this vibrant drink offers a modern and health-conscious alternative - and it looks so much more fun!
Bulletproof Coffee
Millennials are all about trying new things, like adding butter and oil to their coffee for a supposed boost in energy and brainpower. While older generations might find it odd, for millennials, bulletproof coffee is more than just a drink - it's a symbol of a healthy lifestyle with a twist.
Mocktails
Millennials are all about mocktails - fancy, alcohol-free drinks that look and taste like cocktails. They're perfect for those who don't drink or just want a fun, non-alcoholic option. But some older folks don't get the hype, sticking to their classic cocktails with a bit more kick.
"Eggs"
Millennials are all about trying new plant-based versions of traditional dishes, like tofu scrambles and eggless omelets. These alternatives are changing the food game, but older generations might not get the hype just yet...
Kombucha
Millennials are all about kombucha, a fizzy tea that's fermented and comes in all sorts of interesting flavors. I love it as a great alternative to alcoholic beverages since you still get a bit of that fermented flavor we love in beer and wine - just none (or a very minimal amount) of the alcohol.
Poke Bowls
Millennials love their poke bowls, a trendy Hawaiian dish that offers freshness, customization, and a visually appealing presentation. It's a fusion of healthy eating and culinary exploration that older generations might not fully grasp, but it's definitely worth a try for a delicious seafood experience in an easy bowl format.
Nut Milk
Millennials love nut milks like almond and cashew milk - and it's not just for those who stick to plant based eating. While older generations may prefer traditional cow's milk, nut milk is gaining popularity both for its supposed environmental benefits and delicious taste.
Swicy Food
Millennials love the food trend known as "Swicy" - a mix of spicy and sweet flavors. From sweet and spicy glazed chicken wings to Thai chili mango salad, these dishes offer a unique taste experience that keeps us coming back for more.
Matcha
Millennials are crazy about matcha, a trendy green tea powder with a unique taste and health perks. It's not just a drink; it's a symbol of balancing wellness and enjoyment, unlike the traditional teas favored by older generations. And we don't just drink it! No, by now you can find matcha in all shapes and forms: cookies, candy, and even in some savory dishes...
"Meat"
Millennials are all about plant-based meat alternatives, like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods. These options taste like meat but are supposed to be better for the environment and animal welfare, making them a popular choice among younger generations.
