• The Future of Food Is Now: Expo West 2019 Recap

    2019 food trends

    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.

    Sometimes all Monday needs is a splash of color. This Thai Rainbow Quinoa Bowl was just the spritz of color I needed to put an extra pep in my step for the last working Monday of the year! Let that sink in for a second. Last Monday in the office. Now go ahead and give into that mental “raise the roof”. You know you wanna. In this week’s meal prep, a bed of quinoa gets a burst of color from rainbow carrots, red cabbage, curly kale and spring peas, plus a snap of satay-inspired flavor with a creamy peanut sauce. Get the lowdown on why eating the rainbow matters and sashay to that recipe below.

    I’m gaga for gourds, so it’s another delicata-licous day in the neighborhood. This week’s meal prep is a DELICATA KALE SALAD with TRI-COLOR QUINOA, ROASTED CHICKPEAS, POMEGRANATE SEEDS and GOAT CHEESE. I’m a huge fan of cook once, eat twice, so this week’s blog is a double header! Not only does delicata delight this salad, but it also makes for an easy Whole30-approved breakfast as DELICATA EGG SLIDERS. Find the dEATs on both, below!
