Best Vegan Options at Expo West (2026)
Mar 09, 2026Last week, I attended one of the largest natural product and food expos in the world, Expo West in Anaheim!
Expo West isn’t just about sampling the latest and greatest products though. There were many educational panels from leading experts around the globe and even some celebrity speakers.
I also noticed some interesting trends like sour date candies!
As a vegan coach, I want to make sure you know the best options out there so you can enjoy nourishing food and help curb food waste. A few of these may not be available here in the U.S. yet, as companies are looking for distribution opportunities. Hopefully we'll see them soon!
