This is where all your favorite foodie brands are hanging out this week & I’m here to get the scoop 😎
this event is seriously the foodie super bowl! I haven’t been to Expo West since like 2019 and this year was the 45th anniversary and it is HUGEEEEE!
Some highlights for my day ✨
I stopped by the @Bloom Nutrition booth and finally got my hands on some of their clear protein. It’s delicious! I also tried their root beer float, boom bloom pop, and it was just as tasty as the rest of their sodas! I stand 10 toes behind all of their products at this point, they are so yummy!
@STDALFOUR has such a cute booth! I got to try spreads that I hadn’t had before! The blueberry açai made me weak in the knees! But my favorite is still the passionfruit, it can’t be beat!
@Drizzilicious did NOT come to play! I really love their rice cakes, but got to try their popcorn & chips! There was a harissa flavor and a tzatziki one, both were so so good! 😮💨
@De Cecco gave us a delicious plate of warm pasta! I keep their noodles in my pantry, and I was so happy to taste them fresh from their chefs yesterday!
@Sunsweet Growers Inc. single-handedly upped my fiber game! They were sampling their Plum Good plum juice, and I have no words! It was absolutely delicious! I ended up having three cans of it at the expo, mainly because they invited me as they are content creator, so I was at their booth all day, but I’m a huge fan! And, I finally tried to prune for the first time and they are also tasty! I never thought I’d like them as much as I do! But, I’m a plum girl and I’ve been a plum girl my whole life, so it honestly makes a lot of sense! Lol 💛💙
Now for day two! There are over 100 brands on my list that I want to stop by their booth! Let’s see how far I get! 😇
Attending Expo West is like stepping into a wonderland for food lovers. This year, the 45th anniversary of the event brought together a vast array of natural and specialty food brands, all eager to showcase their latest and greatest products. One thing I truly appreciated was the diverse range of offerings—from nutritious protein drinks to innovative snacks and traditional pasta dishes. For example, Bloom Nutrition impressed me with their clear protein and uniquely flavored sodas like the root beer float-inspired Boom Bloom Pop. It’s rare to find protein drinks that taste this good, making them perfect for anyone looking to add a tasty boost to their daily routine. Then there were the spreads from STDALFOUR, especially the blueberry açai and passionfruit varieties. These stood out as flavorful options for elevating your breakfasts or snacks—spread on toast or mixed into yogurt. Drizzilicious is another brand that really caught my attention with their savory snacks. Their harissa and tzatziki flavored popcorn and chips are perfect for those who love bold tastes without compromising on healthier ingredients. Plus, I’m always drawn to rice cakes, so their range offered something for every crunchy snack craving. Of course, I couldn’t miss De Cecco’s pasta station. Their fresh pasta, prepared by expert chefs right on-site, reminded me why I always keep their noodles stocked in my pantry—they bring authentic Italian quality and taste home with you. One unexpected highlight was discovering Sunsweet Growers' Plum Good plum juice and learning to appreciate prunes as a delicious fiber-rich snack. It was eye-opening to see how easily something healthy can fit into everyday enjoyment, leading to a noticeable boost in my fiber intake. The atmosphere at Expo West is always buzzing, and this year was no exception. Navigating the North Halls and sampling products while soaking in the energy of fellow food enthusiasts made the experience unforgettable. For anyone passionate about clean, natural foods and innovative products, Expo West is absolutely a must-visit event. I’m eager to continue exploring the 100+ brands on my list and share more discoveries soon!
