Sizzling weather makes 2025 year of the midweek BBQ (and we're eating healthier too)
Barbecues were once reserved for the weekend but 2025's brilliant weather has led to more Brits than ever firing up the barbie midweek. More than three quarters of us (78%) believe that BBQs are no longer just a weekend pursuit, according to research by plant-based food firm Beyond Meat to mark National Barbecue Week (May 26 to June 1). This is a recent trend, coinciding with our recent warmer summers, with more than half (53%) admitting they enjoy a BBQ Tuesday to Thursday more often than they did two years ago. Lighting up the BBQ midweek isn't the only way our summer dining habits are changing as 42% of those surveyed saying they are eating less animal meat during the week more than they did in 2023. Meanwhile more than half (58%) said they now cook healthier dishes, with 47% reporting that having plant-based options on the menu is important to them, and a similar number agreeing cooking plant-based meat on a barbecue supports a balanced lifestyle. Ellie Stevens, Senior Brand Manager GB at Beyond Meat said: 'Midweek BBQing gives a great excuse to get outside and create delicious plant-based meals.' As for our favourite plant-based meal to cook on the barbie? It's corn on the cob that is our choice by a mile, with 51% saying they love cooking it. Vegetarian kebabs (32%) are second, with a plant-based burger third (31%). Ellie adds: 'Whether you're entertaining friends or looking for a quick al fresco dinner, our products are easy to cook on the barbecue, helping you cater for carnivores, vegans and flexitarians alike to deliver all the taste, with none of the worries.' To coincide with National BBQ Week, GP and influencer Dr Divya Sharma, aka 'Doctor Bowl' has shared her favourite recipe. 'Al fresco cooking is a brilliant way to get out in the fresh air, connect and experiment with plant-based foods in a new and exciting way,' she explains. 'Plant-based meat, such as the Beyond Burger. are high in protein and lend themselves to a whole host of mid-week dishes beyond the traditional bun.' Her 'Beyond Burger Bowl' is made with Beyond Meat patties, roasted potatoes, and a vibrant salad - perfect for healthy midweek eating. The recipe is below: Ingredients (serves 2) · 2 Beyond Burger patties · 1 Maris Piper potato, cubed · 1 tsp chilli flakes · 1 tbsp olive oil · Handful of lettuce leaves · 2 large tomatoes, chopped · Cucumber, sliced · 1 tbsp red onion, finely chopped · ½ avocado, cubed For the dressing: · 1 tbsp mayonnaise · 1 tbsp tomato ketchup · 1 tsp mustard Method · Preheat your oven to 200c or airfryer at 180c · Place your cubed potatoes into a prepared oven dish · Add the oil, chilli flakes and some salt and pepper.

One-Month Return: +18.2% Taking its name from the black and white stripes of barcodes, Zebra Technologies (NASDAQ:ZBRA) provides barcode scanners, mobile computers, RFID systems, and other data capture technologies that help businesses track assets and optimize operations. Why Should You Dump ZBRA? Organic sales performance over the past two years indicates the company may need to make strategic adjustments or rely on M&A to catalyze faster growth Earnings growth underperformed the sector average over the last five years as its EPS grew by just 2.2% annually Eroding returns on capital from an already low base indicate that management's recent investments are destroying value At $295.94 per share, Zebra trades at 13.2x forward EV-to-EBITDA.

The United States plant-based meat market is poised for significant growth, projected to surge from USD 2.99 billion in 2024 to USD 15.12 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 19.91%. This expansion is fueled by increasing awareness of health benefits, environmental sustainability, and ethical concerns. Advancements in food technology are enhancing product taste and texture, broadening appeal beyond vegetarians and vegans. Despite challenges from traditional meats and new alternatives, the market continues to innovate, driven by consumer demand for diverse, sustainable options. U.S. Plant-Based Meat Market Dublin, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "United States Plant Based Meat Market Size and Share Analysis - Growth Trends and Forecast Report 2025-2033" report has been added to States Plant-Based Meat Market is expected to reach US$ 15.12 billion by 2033 from US$ 2.99 billion in 2024, with a CAGR of 19.91% from 2025 to 2033. The market is being driven by a number of important factors, including increased awareness of the product's health and wellness implications, the need for environmental sustainability, ethical and animal welfare concerns, improvements in food technology that have improved the taste and texture of plant-based meat, and culinary diversity. Due to rising consumer demand for ethical and sustainable food options, the plant-based meat market in the US has grown significantly in recent years. Plant-based meat substitutes are becoming more popular in a variety of industries, including grocery shops and fast-food chains, as consumers grow more conscious of the negative effects animal agriculture has on the environment and the health advantages of plant-based diets. Leading the way are businesses like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, which provide goods that mimic the flavor, consistency, and appearance of conventional meat. In addition to vegetarians and vegans, this invention is drawing in flexitarians, or customers who want to eat less meat without completely giving it its quick growth, the business still has to contend with issues including production scaling, cost issues, and competition from conventional meat as well as other protein sources like lab-grown meat and plant-based dairy. Furthermore, considering their high sodium content and processed nature, some detractors wonder if plant-based meats are indeed healthier. However, investors and big food brands still believe in the sector's potential since they see it as an essential part of the food industry's future. It is anticipated that the U.S. market will continue to develop and innovate as customer preferences change and the technology underlying plant-based meats advances, with businesses concentrating on enhancing taste, affordability, and November 2023, Beyond Meat planned to enter into a strategic alliance with distributor Nordic Food to make its products available to Romanian consumers. Through this partnership, Beyond Meat's wide variety of products, such as burgers, sausages, mince, and meatball substitutes, will be offered in the foodservice industry as well as retail settings, including physical stores and internet platforms Similarly, according to Eliyahu, the brand's spokesman, Alpha Foods is set to improve its growth trajectory in August 2023 by joining a group of brands. This strategic step is expected to bring more resources for growth. This collaboration with a group of brands marks a turning point for Alpha Foods, which has already shown success in the retail Drivers for the United States Plant-based Meat Market Increased Environmental ConcernsOne major factor contributing to the rising demand for plant-based meat substitutes is environmental concerns. Conventional meat production is linked to excessive water use, deforestation for animal grazing, and high greenhouse gas emissions - all of which exacerbate climate change and environmental degradation. Customers are increasingly looking for alternatives with a smaller ecological imprint as they grow more ecologically conscious. Compared to animal farming, the production of plant-based meats uses less water and land and produces fewer emissions. A larger drive to lessen environmental impact is reflected in this change toward sustainable food choices. Many consumers, especially younger generations, have embraced this movement and give sustainability top priority when making Taste and TextureThe taste, texture, and general quality of plant-based meats are being greatly enhanced by ongoing developments in food technology, which is making them more enticing to traditional meat consumers. Businesses are developing plant-based goods that closely resemble the sensory experience of eating animal-based meat by utilizing advancements in ingredients, flavorings, and processing techniques. For instance, the texture of plant-based burgers has improved, and the taste and mouthfeel of plant-based chicken and sausage are getting more realistic. Previous complaints about plant-based meats being too processed or flavorless have been lessened because to these advancements. More meat eaters are willing to include plant-based substitutes in their diets as the quality keeps improving, broadening the market beyond vegetarians and and Product VarietyThe industry's constant innovation in plant-based meat has produced a wide variety of goods that appeal to a wider market. Companies are creating a range of alternatives, such as sausages, chicken nuggets, and even seafood, in addition to more conventional options like plant-based burgers. Customers may more easily substitute animal-based items in a variety of meals thanks to these advances, which accommodate a wide range of tastes and dietary requirements. Convenience is increased with the addition of new plant-based product formats including deli slices and ready-to-cook foods. Customers are more inclined to investigate plant-based solutions when product variety increases because there are more well-known and creative substitutes available. This increases the market appeal and persuades consumers who are not vegetarians to explore plant-based meat in the United States Plant-based Meat Market Competition from Animal Meat and Other AlternativesBoth conventional animal foods and new protein substitutes pose serious threats to the plant-based meat market. Because of its lengthy history in the market, lower cost, and cultural preferences, animal-based meat continues to be the most popular option for many customers. Insect-based proteins and lab-grown meats are two novel protein sources that are gaining popularity as more affordable and environmentally friendly substitutes. Cellular agriculture, which produces lab-grown meat, promises authentic meat without the negative environmental effects of conventional farming. Proteins derived from insects are also becoming a more effective source of protein since they are nutrient-dense and resource-efficient. The plant-based meat sector needs to keep coming up with new ideas as these substitutes become more popular in order to stay ahead of the competition in the changing protein and Texture ExpectationsEven while the flavor and texture of plant-based meats have significantly improved, some consumers still feel that they fall short of traditional animal meats, particularly when it comes to more sophisticated goods like plant-based steaks or whole cuts. Although there have been significant improvements in burgers and sausages, it is still difficult to replicate the succulent, juicy texture of genuine meat in larger, complete slices. For consumers used to the sensory experience of consuming animal-based goods, the texture, mouthfeel, and flavor profiles of plant-based meats can occasionally fall short of their expectations. This disparity may make plant-based substitutes less appealing, particularly to traditional meat eaters who value these characteristics in their diet. It will take ongoing innovation and improvement in plant-based meat technologies to overcome these obstacles.
