Executive summary

Blood sugar is opening protein yogurt whitespace

Protein yogurt has a clear growth opening with Gen Z GLP-1 users by pairing satiety with blood sugar support. Blood sugar is climbing fastest, with nearly half again as many consumers choosing it as a year ago, while energy and fiber are also up about a third.

Action: position protein yogurt around blood sugar support and pair it with fruit-forward, high-fiber formats.

FAQ

Questions, answered first

Trends Agent is Tastewise’s always-on AI agent for food & beverage trends.

It detects breakout signals across menus, retail, social, and home cooking, validates each through three validation layers, and explains what’s driving it – so your team moves on a trend while it’s still an opportunity.

It detects signals that are accelerating across multiple channels at once.

The agent continuously scans trillions of real F&B signals and ranks ingredients, formats, flavours and claims by growth rate, momentum, and cross-channel consistency – surfacing a breakout the moment it starts to accelerate, not after it peaks. See where this leads in the 2026 Trend Forecast and our ongoing food trends coverage.

It’s validated, food-trained, and explains the why – not just scraped keywords.

Social listening reads one noisy source. Generic AI is trained on the open internet and can overstate. Trends Agent is trained only on F&B, confirms every signal through three validation layers, and tells you the driver, audience, and trajectory behind it.

Innovation, insights, and brand leaders at food & beverage companies.

Product innovation teams sizing concepts, insights teams validating signals, and marketing teams building campaign territories all use Trends Agent to move first with evidence attached.
