Instead of always thinking Optimum Nutrition needs to be the "clear winner" in every protein category format for Glanbia Performance Nutrition (GPN), maybe ISOPURE is the better RTD protein beverage offering to compete against the likes of market leaders…Premier Protein, Fairlife/Core Power, and Muscle Milk. But you might be wondering why hasn’t ISOPURE been successful to those massive levels yet after ~26 years in market? - packaging swap needed - marketplace timing patience needed - retail/distribution strategy shift needed - protein technology advancement needed These internal/external factors could be converging together quickly...but will Glanbia be aggressive enough to take full advantage of it? #strategy #trends #markets #fmcg #cpg #sportsnutrition #supplements #protein #beverages #innovation #nutrition #health #wellness #productdevelopment #marketing #retailing #retail #grocery #merchandising #business #businessintelligence #entrepreneurship #consultants

The price of ice cream has risen for three straight years while demand has slowed as consumers continue to explore healthier #dessert options such as #gelato and #frozenyogurt. But reports of ice cream’s appeal melting away may be overblown. Consider that the average American eats 20 pounds of #icecream each year, generating $14 billion in revenue.

As nutrition and food quality continue to trend upwards in importance for consumers, restaurants may want to take a look at offering salads if they currently don't. According to Datassential's 2024 Healthy Food Trends report, "64% of consumers say they want them on the menu, even if they sometimes select more indulgent options." With the recent sales gains for brands like sweetgreen, Just Salad and CAVA it may be time to reexamine menu offerings to offer salads or other healthy options. https://lnkd.in/gjFfwaqD #restauranttrends #restaurantconsulting #hospitalityconsulting #salads #freshfood Nation's Restaurant News
