Day 1: Natural Products Expo West 2016

It's that magical time of year where folks from near and far gather in one large convention center to check out the latest and greatest products from a wide-range of vendors!

Pacific Superfood Snacks Kale Chips Review

Do you know Klean-Slate? I mean, do you reallly know Klean-Slate? Cause if you do, you may know my slight obsession with kale chips. Lately, my horizons have been expanding into brussels, cabbage, broccoli and pretty much anything else you can dehydrate and make into a chip. But, my heart will always lie with the pioneering kale.

Bites of Luv

Bites of Luv

While wandering the aisles of my local, natural market I spotted Bites of Luv. I thought the packaging was cute, simple and with the font choice–a throw back to the 70′s. When I took a closer look I discovered they were gluten-free, soy-free, organic, non-GMO 100% vegan and nut-free!
