Trends Speaker Daniel Levine Talks New Beverage Trends

Milk is back, and it's not what you think.

New York, NY, August 15, 2013 --(PR.com)-- The trends expert and keynote speaker Daniel Levine has been speaking about milk lately. The drink, it seems, is having a kind of renaissance, appearing in forms that we didn't recognize as children. For decades, milk has been sourced from dairy cows, and has been white and, well, milky. But as cultures collide and preferences change, this most basic dietary staple has been getting a makeover.

Camel Milk: Demand is growing for camel milk is growing worldwide, but especially in the Middle East, where, in addition to being drunk straight, is showing up as an ingredient in drinks and desserts. Mixologists are turning to camel milk to create new cocktails and bakers are incorporating it into their recipes.

Nut Milk: More and more, shoppers worldwide are seeking out milk derived from nuts as a substitute for traditional dairy. Almonds, cashews, and pecans are the most popular, offering lighter alternatives to the fattier and heavier cow's milk.

Grass Milk: Even traditional cow’s milk is being reconsidered, now that the largest dairy cooperative in the United States has released a line of milk produced exclusively from grass-fed cows. The milk tastes sweeter, and the promise of better health has piqued consumer interest.

“The trend in non-traditional milks are part of a broader cultural move towards healthier, locally-sourced foods," said Daniel Levine when he was the keynote speaker at a recent trends conference. The trends expert also serves as editorial director of WikiTrend.org, a consumer trends website. "We are seeing immense creativity in healthier and more sustainable foods," Levine noted.
