Intentional Indulgence: Merging Taste and Health on Modern Menus

WOR03CHI
June 13, 2026
Connections Lounge

Can a drink be craveable and nourishing? At Oatly, we think so, and our trend data will back us up. Gut health, fiber-maxing, “drinking your skincare” and functional ingredients can find its way at the intersection of taste without compromise.

Join Oatly's Director of Nutrition, dietitian Cara Harbstreet and Beverage Experience Developer, Nethra Rajendran for a candid conversation on the trends moving at the speed of TikTok. You’ll learn which trends have staying power and how you can meet the moment when health-conscious customers expect more from their cup.

This workshop will end with an interactive Q&A with the Oatly Taste team, light networking, and a hands-on tasting component.
