I attended CHFA Now Vancouver for the first time this weekend and it was great in all the ways. The show had more than 900 exhibitors showcasing the latest in natural, organic and wellness products and it was a great opportunity to explore and discover brands that are changing the wellness industry. My favourite part was getting to know the people behind the brands, especially the local BC and Canadian ones. The Incubator Alley had so many emerging brands and you could really see the passion behind what they’re building. I also loved seeing and tasting all the products with fewer ingredients, lower sugar, no additives. That felt like an overall theme across the whole show, fewer ingredients, bigger impact. Another thing I noticed was how many products now have added protein from snacks to cookies to drinks and more. It’s definitely a trend that continues this year with a wifer selection to choose from. And beyond that, there’s a clear shift toward more conscious sourcing, better testing, more transparency around ingredients and nutrition, and more sustainable packaging. Brands are being more intentional, and you can see it. Loved attending cahealthfood and seeing where wellness is headed, it feels like things are becoming simpler in the best way. Some locals that really stood out to me and that are founded by parents: alchemysuperpops squeezegoods beanybites notbadsnacks hoochybooch henrinutrition besee_crunch And, many more we got to try and loved already: lovelavoh birchbabe drinkpopoff duchesscocktails ohmefoods hummzies thegoodchocolatier omnomsyum antojosysaboresca theollieandco drinkbestii #media #CHFANow
