Hot dogs made of spirulina. Burgers made of bugs. Ice cream made from salad. This is las chabelas sex videos irapuato gto mexthe fast food of the future, people.
Working to create a new menu for IKEA, Copenhagen's "future-living lab" Space 10 has reimagined fast food classics with sustainable, eco-friendly and healthy ingredients. And yes, that includes the meatballs.

Let's break it down:
First up, the “dogless hot dog,” a new twist on IKEA’s infamous post-shopping treat. This vegetarian hot dog features a bun made with spirulina, which the team says has "more beta carotene than carrots, more chlorophyll than wheatgrass, and 50 times more iron than spinach.” Plus, it apparently has more protein than a “real” hot dog.

This is what mealworms look like:

It's "designed to get people thinking about reducing their meat consumption, using local produce and trying alternative proteins,” said the Space 10 team’s statement.
This is not the first time Space 10 has played around with IKEA's signature snack. Two years ago, the lab created what they dubbed "Tomorrow's Meatball," which used insects, algae and lab-grown meat.

The crunch on top is made from day-old bread, to minimize food waste.

You can pick your flavor from fennel, coriander, basil and mint, or blend them all up. The base uses just 60 grams of sugar for a 600 gram batch, and the team have added apple and lemon juice to sweeten it up. Plus, they’ve also made a popsicle, made with hydroponic herbs like woodruff, coriander, Spanish chervil and sorrel.
All five items are still being worked on in the test kitchen, so don’t expect to see them on IKEA’s menu just yet.
