Brian & I had a totally FABULOUS, FANTASTIC AND SUPER FUN time at the Natural Products Expo this past weekend in Anaheim! Delicious scrumptious HEALTHY Veggie, Vegan and Gluten Free TREATS abounded!
This Expo is all about FRESH brand new exciting foods & flavors, drinks and products that are cruelty free, good for you and the environment!
Over 70K people attended, and we were overjoyed to be running around every floor with them, sampling whatever looked yummy and meeting amazing people.
Tantalizing Vegan Treats
The Chocolate is always one of my favorite parts of the show, because there’s a LOT of delectable DARK Vegan Chocolate here! Free samples everywhere! Sumptuous, divine and decadent, Wild Ophelia, Coco Polo, Endangered Species, Chuao, Pascha.
Vegan Ice Cream like Coconut Bliss and De Mavens and Popsicles packed with Fruits & Veggies from Ruby Rockets.
Raw Vegan Snacks like RawR Bar, GoRaw, Gorilly Goods, Living Intentions, Divine Organics.
There was Aloe from Lily of the Desert and energizing, invigorating FIRE CIDER from Shire City Herbals, serene warming sweet Turmeric Tea from Spicely Organics.
Hail Merry had insanely scrumptious Raw Vegan TARTS, all flavors!! And coconut macaroons. Oh those tarts!! Heavenly!!
Vegan Caramels, like Cocomels, so smooth, sweet and buttery. Creamy Almond Milk like Calafia in their beautiful Bottles!
There were BIG healthy brands there that are incredible, like Daiya Cheese, who had a GIANT booth giving away TONS of samples.
Plus Kind Bars, Amy’s, Naked Juice, Evolution and Lara Bars. Then there were tons of smaller newer companies with really spectacular products.
There were a few Raw KIM CHEE booths, like Sonoma Brinery and Pickled Planet, which DELIGHTED me since I just learned to make Kim Chee!
There were several KALE CHIPS (and Brussel Sprout & Broccoli Chips!!) like Rhythm, Tender Grown, Brad’s Kale Chips and Alive and Radiant.
Wonderful cold pressed Veggie Juice companies like Good Foods, Drink Me, Rawpothecary, It Tastes Raaw, Love Beets as well as bottled Green Smoothies too!
Below is a list of MORE of my FAVORITE booths that we visited. There are more that I’m not remembering, since I loved all the Chocolate samples I tried 🙂 ha!!
And I’m sure there were a lot of wonderful booths we missed too, because there were so many!
Some of my VERY FAVORITES
One of my VERY favorite products was BLACK MULBERRY Smart Juice, it’s an organic bottled juice made from Super Fruits! With flavors like Fig, Black Mulberry, Pomegranate, Tart Cherry, Beet Strawberry and MORE!
Another one of my absolute favorite booths is Evergreen Wheatgrass Juice, it’s frozen cubes of wheatgrass juice grown outdoors in Canada. It has an INCREDIBLE light, refreshing taste! I could drink an entire gallon a day.
We thought the winner as most UNIQUE product was Jackfruit BBQ! They were giving out sandwiches. Can you believe they made JACKFRUIT, a fruit I absolutely adore, taste like actual barbecue? Brian said it tastes just like the real thing!!
Beyond Meat had a nice big booth and was serving up free mini Vegan Burgers & Chicken Fingers for everyone! They were YUMMY. Especially the burger, I thought it was fantastic. And such generous samples!
I WISH this Expo happened at least every 3 months. I LOVE going and look forward to it ALL YEAR!
