The way we eat is about to get a major shake-up or let’s just say that 2025 is going to witness a lot of firsts when it comes to food and dining. From high-protein innovations to seaweed cocktails, this is shaping up to be a year of bold culinary experimentation and mindful dining. As chefs push boundaries and diners crave authenticity, the food scene is evolving like never before.
Most people who prefer taking the healthy route in their food habits look for just one important ingredient in food labels – protein. So, how can it not make it to this year’s top trend prediction?
“Protein is no longer just about powders and shakes,” says Chef Shantanu Gupte. “We’re seeing a shift towards whole food sources-plant-based proteins and naturally high-protein ingredients.” Menus are adapting to this demand, with high-protein items taking centre stage, and packaged goods proudly highlighting their protein content. This growing awareness around protein intake is set to rise even further.
