My Top 44 Products From Expo East 2022!
[ad_1]
I recently attended Expo East in Philadelphia, USA. It’s the largest natural foods and product expo on the east coast of America. Each year this show provides at least three major opportunities. First, an opportunity for us to see our favorite healthy brands, to say hi, and see if they have any new products out. Second, to meet new companies that are showcasing their foods or products. Lastly, to meet the people in the food industry, my friends and colleagues, and the amazing people behind the natural health industry. Needless to say, I live for these events and they are all my happy place.
At each event, I’m on the hunt for new and existing products that add to our life for the better. There were 1,167 exhibitors showcasing their products at Expo East this year, and over 29,000 people were in attendance. 
If you want to change your life these products will help you do it. Below I am going to share my Expo East experience which also includes my Top 44 picks from the show.
Liana’s Top 44 Picks:
They are known for their epic ketchup and sauces. The entire sauce line especially the butter chicken is epic, but the ketchup is what really stood out to me. Why? Because it’s organic and sweetened with dates. Most organic ketchup is sweetened with agave or cane sugar. I highly recommend upgrading your ketchup!

2. Dream Pops
Their products have a coconut milk base and are sweetened with only coconut sugar. If you are looking for a dessert upgrade that you could enjoy daily- dream pops are it!” Not all because some have cane sugar now. Say how my favorite is the berry ice cream bites and the cookie dough ice cream bites.

The newest product they were featuring is their squeezable mayo which included mayo, chipotle mayo, and buffalo mayo. I am looking forward to trying these products out!

5. CHi Foods
CHi Foods makes plant-based ground pork! I love that they are using the ancient superfood Sacha Inchi which I call the new “peanuts,” however they are actually a seed, not a nut! Sacha Inchi is such a versatile seed. The benefits of Sacha Inchi include improving cholesterol levels, aiding in weight loss, improve gut health, and they are far more sustainable to grow than nuts. It is divine and the cleanest plant-based “meat” I have seen on the market yet. CHi is available in 4 flavors including, CHi-Rizo, Italian Herb, Maple Sage, and Original.

6. Food Earth
I discovered Food Earth last year at Expo East, woo! They have ready-made plant-based meals. They are nutrient-dense and delicious! These shelf-stable, organic, pre-packaged meals are amazing for busy days. They are great for life on the go. I have even traveled with them in my carry-on luggage. They have many flavors such as eggplant curry, chickpea curry, split lentil curry, vegetable biryani, and more! I know some of you will say, eating from a microwave is not good, and I agree it is never ideal, however eating hotel food that is cooked with a microwave is worse than eating real food heated in a microwave. Sometimes we have to choose the lesser worst thing when it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle! You can also heat Food Earth on a stove which is what I do when I eat them.
