40% of millennials are taking plant-based diets to limit their impact on health and planet.
Meat alternatives are a good solution for those seeking meat free solutions without feeling like they are ‘missing out.
Where plant based, meat free solutions are rapidly disrupting the grocery aisles, this gives rise to the opportunity to break through the norm and deliver a design language that is modern and capitalising on the joyful feeling a consumer gets when making better choices.
Meat free is a growing space beyond vegetarian which is an opportunity worth £523Million in the UK and $10Billion globally.
Meat fee meal alternatives provide exciting innovation opportunities in parallel categories such as snacking.
Contrast created a new brand bursting with flavour and attitude breaking the mould with tons of taste, satiety and textures. Unapologetically plant based and without the feeling that you’re missing out.
