The Future of Food Is Now: Expo West 2019 Recap
The most reliable way to predict the future is to create it. And woah was I inspired by all the creators stirring up the food industry at last week’s Natural Foods Expo West. What’s truly powerful though, is realizing that you aren’t just a bystander. You have the power to create whatever reality you desire. All these innovations started with one step into the unknown. One brave soul had the courage to listen to the hollerings of their heart and stomp on any doubts, missteps or naysayers and charge ahead to create something completely new to the world. Pretty cool, huh?
As a brand marketer & food enthusiast, I’m taking inspo from all the creative juices flowing at last week’s natural & organics food show. Want a sip? Read on for my take on the top 2019 food trends at Natural Foods Expo West, along with my fav new products you’ll soon find on shelves.

Nuts for Nuts
When life gets nuts, make nut butter. Or nut milk. Just get in kitchen and process out all those stressors. At least that’s my antidote for a case of the Sundays. This weekend I’ve been experimenting with all things nuts and let me tell you – it absolutely NUTS how easy it is to make your own nut butter or nut milks. Buckle your seat belts because I’ll be cracking (pun intended) all kinds of nut jokes as I give you the DL (that’s the down low for those not in the know) on the health benefits you’ll reap while spreading that creamy delicious pecan, pistachio or (insert favorite nut) butter.

Honey Bae
You know what makes me happier than a basket of puppies? This ORANGE CRANBERRY BREAD & ORANGE HONEY BUTTER. Okay, maybe not a as happy as a bundle of slobbery bulldogs, but close. Both of these recipes are graced with the sweetness of raw honey, which, as it turns out, has oodles of benefits beyond its tantalizing natural sweetness. Get the dEATs for my newfound favorite honey recipes and learn more about how raw, unpasteurized honey could be the next cure for the common cold (and more).

Superfood or Super Fad?
If you’re not sipping an acai and kale superfood smoothie and throwing back a double shot of matcha, followed by an ACV (apple cider vinegar, duh) chaser every morning, like, what are you doing with your life?
*insert eyeroll as big as an Instagram mega-influencer following*
With new “superfoods” and fad diets popping up on the daily, it can be near impossible to keep up with the hype. Even worse, it seems like two minutes later there’s evidence that the latest crown jewel is actually a cheap knock-off. So how are we supposed to navigate the moguls of the new food landscape? Read on for my take on “superfood” or “super hype”.
