We are gearing up for Food Fete’s summer edition by thinking back to all the great food finds we discovered at their Spring showcase. Food Fete Spring event was all about turning allergies and special dietary needs on its head. Vendors from all over presented delicious options that appeal to a variety of appetites and diets. Not only were not only health conscious they were also tasty. Our favorites embody all the comfort foods and sweet treats we often enjoy but made of healthier ingredients for guilt-free snacking. Our top picks from the event were:
1. Freschetta Gluten Free: If you’re done with gluten but you love pizza, get ready to rejoice. Freschetta has created a gluten-free version of gooey cheesy thin crust pizza that is actually delicious. No seriously, its really tasty. It even comes in pepperoni for an extra burst of tastiness.
2. PB Fit- If you eat only natural food you likely have dealt with the grossness that is natural peanut butter. It tastes delicious but that water that often rises to the surface makes it look anything but tasty. PB Fit offers a powdered version of the classic treat that is truly tasty. You can mix the powder in yogurt or mixed smoothies for a natural protein boost. Or you can add just a little water and you will have traditional delicious spreadable peanut butter.
3. Navitas Naturals- Have you ever had a dragon fruit chip? No? Then find yourself a bag of Navitas Naturals dragonfruit slices. The lightly sweet flavor will satisfy your sweet treat cravings and hit you with a boost of Magnesium, Omega Fatty Acids, and Dietary fibers.
4. So Delicious Dairy Free- We all know someone lactose intolerant. Most people on the planet have some form of dairy allergy that makes eating dairy a miserable experience. The good people at So Delicious have developed an amazing dairy-free ice cream. So delicious cashew Milk ice cream comes n several delicious flavors, including my personal favorite Salted Caramel.
5. Jones Farms Chicken Sausage- In an effort to stay heart healthy many people give up beef and pork products. Giving up those meats doesn’t mean your breakfast has to suffer. Indulge your taste buds with Jones Farm Chicken sausage. Enjoy the same texture and flavor of a classic pork sausage in this chicken version.
6. Cabo Chips-We love the salty crunchy goodness of tortilla chips but not the empty calories. Cabo cures that salty craving with its variety of gluten-free flavors. Some of our favorites include Mango salsa, blue corn, and churro.
7. Mineral Water- Our last favorite isn’t exactly a treat its more of a necessity. Water is essential to life and mineral water offers the same benefit with the added bonus of essential minerals.
