Yesterday was our annual summer trip to the Fancy Food show.
Basically, the Javitz Center is filled with a million food booths, some
healthier than others. I have to give us a little credit and say we have become
pros at the food fair thing. We didn’t eat ourselves into complete food comas
or sample any more ice cream. Plus, we hit
our 10k steps right away. It was great to see many Foodtrainers’ friends – Banza, Organic LivingSuperfoods (love the new look) and Grady’s cold brew . As always, we
were on the hunt for new products too. Here are a few Fancy faves we’ll fill
you in on, others we’re keeping a secret for our September Squeeze program and
the Foodtrainers’ shop.
Super Sauces: do you believe
in love at first bite? Filfil garlic hot sauce was my first taste of the day and my favorite.
With over 20 cloves of garlic per bottle you may not want to consume this before a
date or important meeting, but I promise you’ll fall in love
with this spicy new Brooklyn based brand. We are also all about Primal Kitchen’s paleo Avo-mayo which now comes in chipotle lime And you might
know The New Primal from their super spicy jerky but they have a new, clean bbq sauce line – sweetener from pineapple juice which also
helps tenderize meat before you BBQ.
Alternative flours: Almond, cassava
and chickpea oh my. We love seeing these gluten free alternatives in wraps,
snacks and yup even pizza. Our faves go to Cappello’s pizza and pasta, Siete cassava
wraps and Simple Mills
crackers.

Chocolate: we are so happy
that chocolate isn’t going anywhere - we are forever Eating Evolved and Hu faithful (Hu assured us single serves are coming) but the beauties from Moonstruck and the drinking
chocolate from Treehouse Chocolate caught our eyes and tastebuds too.
There wasn’t a ton of new kombucha but we did dig Revive, which uses alternatives
to black tea for some fermenting… coffee kombucha anyone? That was Lauren’s pick of the
day and we also loved their white tea with cucumber and mint.
We have some ideas for summer travel snacks and our next September
Squeeze. Make sure you are signed up for our newsletter to stay in the loop. Have a wonderful long weekend!
Which of the items mentioned are you most curious about? What do you see as the current trends in healthy eating?
