The 100 Best Products from Top Food Trends in 2019

We identified the top 18 food trends from 2019 and selected our favorite food products so you can get a taste of the trends.

After seeing some of the wildest trends take off in 2019, we're never going to be able to guess what's in our food again. This year, we saw the rise of burgers that aren't made of meat, milk that's made of oats, and cheese dip that's crafted from nuts.

Food trends ebb and flow—and we've seen some truly crazy trends—so it's expected that certain products that are in vogue now will fall out of fashion as we move on to the new year. However, there are some food movements, if you will, that we predict will stick around throughout 2020 and beyond.

The Eat This, Not That! editors compiled a list of the food trends we've seen rise in popularity throughout 2019 that we expect to continue in 2020. To try these popular trends (you're going to sooner or later, trust us), we've pulled together some of our favorite products in each category.

Plant-Based Meat Alternatives

Your meat is not what it seems. After advances in food technology, plant-based meat alternatives have finally gone mainstream due to their uncanny ability to mimic the look and taste of real meat. There are now dozens of products to choose from, and we've picked our favorites.

Impossible Burger Ground Beef

Until now, the Impossible Burger was only available in foodservice. The soy-based, meat-free burger has a special ingredient—heme—which makes it taste exactly like meat and even bleed like it, too. While the burger is available in countless restaurant chains across the country, most notably, fast-food giant Burger King hopped on the bandwagon and introduced the Impossible Whopper in 2019. Now, you can purchase the ground beef version in select retailers in eight lucky states.

Beyond Burger

Beyond meat beyond burger plant based patties packaging recipe 2

The Impossible Burger's nemesis, the Beyond Burger, has been available in both grocery stores and foodservice for years. In 2019, the company reformulated their recipe to get rid of wheat, making the patty gluten-free. This soy-free burger is made with the perfect combination of complementary proteins to form a complete protein blend that's comparable to real beef.

Lightlife Plant-Based Italian Sausage

Lightlife launched a new line of meat-like pork sausage replacements in 2019. They may be plant-based, but we bet you'd barely be able to distinguish the difference between this and the Italian sausage you've been buying your whole life.

UNCUT Breakfast Sausage

If you want to make your own Sausage Egg McMuffin at home, there hasn't really been a good way to do it—until now. While store-bought sausage patties, like Jimmy Dean's, are too small for an appropriate breakfast sandwich, this plant-based breakfast sausage from UNCUT is the perfect size (and was actually specifically shaped to fit on an English muffin). This plant-based sausage patty also crisps up even better than your regular sausage.

Raised & Rooted Nuggets

The title-holders of "the number 1 brand of chicken nuggets in the U.S.," Tyson, introduced this entirely plant-based version of nuggets in September 2019. These nuggets are made with pea protein and plant-based fiber for a meaty, tender texture on the inside, and a crispy batter for a satisfying crunch on the outside.

Abbot's Butcher Chorizo

Courtesy of Abbots Butcher Chorizo

Unlike the other heavily processed meat alternatives on the market that were developed in labs, The Abbot's Butcher was developed in a kitchen. Their taste-forward approach rather than the scientific quest to make the most meat-like product really makes their flavors stand out, appealing to people who are looking for food that simply tastes good. You'll only find ingredients you can recognize in this "Chorizo": like extra virgin olive oil, organic tomato paste, and Spanish smoked paprika.

Gardein Fishless Filet

Everyone knows about the beef, sausage, and chicken meat alternatives, but did you know you can also try fish alternatives? Gardein has been selling their Fishless Filets for years, and they're a classic. They're perfect for fish tacos, fish sandwiches, and classic fish and chips.

A breakfast burrito may seem like the kind of item that would be off-limits on a plant-based diet, but never fear! Daiya—a member of the Plant-Based Food Association—comes with egg-style scramble, meatless sausage, and cheddar-style shreds. It's a plant-based home run!

Cauliflower-based foods

The cousin of your least-favorite childhood veggie somehow stole the hearts of American food manufacturers. Its white color, unassuming flavor, and starchy texture make the cruciferous vegetable extremely versatile. You can try it in what feels like hundreds of products—likely with many more to come in 2020.

Trader Joe's Cauliflower Gnocchi

Arguably the most famous of the cauliflower products, cauliflower gnocchi has a legion of devoted fans. Cauliflower Gnocchi has its own Instagram account and over 13,000 posts have used the hashtag #cauliflowerghnocchi. There may be a few different brands out there now, but Trader Joe's was one of the first (and is still our favorite). Try it with everything from pesto to marinara sauce to cinnamon sugar and icing.

Freeze-dried cauliflower instead of oatmeal? It sounds bizarre, but Purely Elizabeth is onto something here. The cauliflower turns into a creamy, velvety texture when you add boiling water. It's all brightened up with tangy strawberries and mellowed out by roasted hazelnuts for a deliciously convenient breakfast cup.

Mashed potatoes are true soul food, but if you're interested in a lighter take on the dinner table classic side, check out this product from Green Giant. It's a fun way to eat vegetables, but more importantly, it's extremely convenient to prepare: The mashed cauliflower is already seasoned and all you need to do is pop in the microwave to reheat.

Each of these products are high-protein versions of your favorite foods.

What is a clean label? It's basically a trend of simplifying ingredient lists as far as food manufacturers can go. The reasoning is simply that we should be eating more real foods and less of the stuff we can't pronounce.

Gut health remains at the top of consumers' minds, as a healthy gut has been linked to weight regulation, mental health, and your immune system. You'll find gut-friendly products are full of two main ingredients: prebiotics and probiotics. Prebiotics are types of dietary fiber that feed the good bacteria in the gut and are found in foods like underripe bananas, barley, and roots. Probiotics are good bacteria found naturally in fermented foods and can be added to regular foods that can conceivably colonize your gut and help nurse it back to health. These products

Lactose-free

Dairy products like pitcher milk container yogurt cheese on tablecloth

An estimated 36 percent of Americans suffer from lactose malabsorption: a reduced ability to digest lactose. Many of us have struggled through bloated stomachs, expedited bathroom trips, and general inflammation by forcing ourselves to continue to consume lactose-containing dairy products because they just taste so good. Now, food manufacturers are listening to our problems, and they've developed an array of lactose-free solutions to our dairy problems.

Siggi's Lactose-free, Plain

While there are many lactose-free yogurts on the market, there wasn't really an option for Icelandic yogurt fanatics. Icelandic yogurt—or skyr—is creamier and higher in protein than your run-of-the-mill yogurt. And now, you can get it completely lactose-free.

Low Sugar/Sweetened with Real Fruit

The new nutrition label is slated to go into effect in January 2020. This change marks the first time "added sugar" will appear on the nutrition label. To avoid having to declare added sugars, many manufacturers are opting to sweeten their products with real fruit, which does not require an added sugars declaration on the Nutrition Facts panel. The result is a new class of food products that are lightly sweetened and have a nice hint of fruitiness.

RELATED: The easy guide to cutting back on sugar is finally here.

Lopaus Point Gluten-Free Waffles, Chocolate Chip

The brand also launched an unsweetened ketchup that has half the sugar of your average tomato-based condiment.

Wallaby Organic No Sugar Added Aussie Greek, Peach Hibiscus

Usually, fruit-on-the-bottom yogurts are loaded with a sugary fruit jelly. On the other side of the spectrum, no sugar added yogurts are often plain, boring, and fairly tart. The solution? Wallaby sweetenes their yogurt with organic peaches and natural flavor. That way, you get the fruity flavor you love without that goopy layer of fruit puree.

With the increase in health consciousness, many people are becoming "sober curious," or people who are interested in drinking less often or not at all. With this sober curiously comes the products perfectly poised to solve these mindful consumers: alcohol-free spirits. Previously, non-drinkers were relegated to sipping on a sugary soda or water at a bar. Now, they, too, can indulge in a handcrafted mocktail of their choosing, courtesy of the following brands leading the alcohol-free charge.

Seedlip, Garden 108

This non-alcoholic cocktail is beautifully balanced with a hint of earthiness and it's wildly herbaceous. It's both refreshing and intriguing. You've never tried anything like this before, but after you do, you may end up swearing off the booze for good.

Hella Bitters & Soda, Dry

Bitters are an essential ingredient in numerous cocktails, so these canned drinks are extremely reminiscent of the flavors you think of when you think of alcoholic drinks.
