So, based on current food trends, even if you’re snacking, you might want your food and drinks to be healthy and nutritional, not just tasty and fun.
For instance, you might opt for something functional and mood-boosting like probiotic sodas, electrolyte powders, water kefirs, and natural energy drinks.
(And if you’ve noticed that nearly everything in your grocery store seems to be full of protein and fiber these days, you are definitely not alone. Proteinmaxxing and fibermaxxing much?)
In the meantime, experts predict that 2026 might be the year that cabbage makes a powerful comeback and reaches the mainstream.
The BBC reports that in 2025, searches for cabbage on Pinterest spiked massively: cabbage dumpling searches soared 110%, Polish golumpki cabbage soup searches were up 95%, and fermented cabbage saw a 35% rise in searches, too.
