Boston Food Festival!
WOW. Today was so much fun! My mom and I went to the Boston Vegetarian Food Festival. This was the second day of the event, so I thought that it would be a little less crowded. BOY was this foodie wrong. This place was packed!! It was held at the Reggie Lewis Athletic Center in Roxbury, Ma. It was basically in a big open gymnasium, and it was packed with people! I held my mom’s hand at one point as to not get lost!
First up
PB&Co Peanut butter samples. Yes Please. My mom thought I was crazy for how excited I was for this booth.
Sample of White Chocolate Wonderful. This was delicious! my first go at this flavor!
Some Local Indian Food restaurant giving out some sample (these were 4 dollars a plate) I skipped it
Organic Tomato bruschetta
Tribe Hummus Samples!
I got the 40 Spices. It was great! Not too spicy at all but full of flavor
This booth gave me some freebies when I told them about my blog!
Free Samples
Swag I picked up. (the bar and packets were free. I bought the chocolate superfood)
This next booth was AMAZING. Something I had never seen before. The owners were super nice. I chatted about my blog and they gave me two containers to take home and sample beyond the samples at the booth
These owners are local from New Hampshire. They make all natural dessert hummus with flavors such as pumpkin Pie (AMAZING) maple walnut, chocolate mousse, caramel apple and toasted almond
Peanut butter hummus
My Swag. I got the peanut butter and maple walnut. Seriously. Check out this SITE to see where you can try this hummus. It may change your life.
Whole Foods Quinoa Salad with cashews and Cranberries
This was amazing! Everyone was a little peeved that they would NOT give out the recipe though!
Vega Booth
Vega Optimizer.
These people were nice enough to give me lots of samples as well!
Vega Swag
Whole food energy bars, complete whole food packets, Vega sport optimizer. I am so siked to try all of these products!
Ezekial Bread with Hemp Butter. Eh, this was my first go at hemp butter. It was ok, lets put it this way, I didn’t go back for another sample.
Hemp Bliss Booth.
Vegan veggie burger with vegan bbq sauce
Tofutti Onion dip with a vegan, gluten free rice cracker. This was delicious, a bit rich for me but full of flavor.
What makes TeatherTM so unique? lt all begins with certified organic ingredients of exceptional quality. Rather than using refined fruit products, such as concentrates or natural flavors, TeatherTM uses real whole fruits and white tea leaves. Moreover, no filler fruits like apple or pear appear in TeatherTM. Filler fruits only cheapen product quality and degrade flavor. The result of whole fruit and white tea is authentic flavor other products simply can’t match. Seeds,skins and entire flesh of whole fruit also offers unparalled nutritional benefits. These parts of fruits are packed with an impressive assortment of vitamins, minerals, macronutrients and other beneficial phytonutrients, some with impressive antioxidant qualities. White tea leaf, which undergoes less processing than green tea, provides an additional abundant source of phytonutrients.
The owner was SUPER nice. This product has only been on the market for 20 weeks, so look out for it in Whole Foods in the next month!
Strawberry Pom Teather
Ingredients
Teather. This was delicious! you could really taste the white tea flavors in here. The consistency is a nice, chewy texture like a hearty fruit roll up.
Navita’s Natural Booth

Hey Naomi,

Oh my goodness. I dont even know where to start! This looks amazing. I love the Hummus samplers!!! What great swag you picked up. I seriously need to research a food fest in my area!! PS.. dont know if ya saw but on SAturday I left ya an award on my blog! 🙂
Wow, what an amazing time! This sort of reminds me of the conference I Went to in Denver, with all those samples and the tote bag! We don’t have anything fun like that around here in Ohio, so boring.
Regarding your comment on my blog, I agree with the about the Manwich. I saw that the other day! Do you know how much SODIUM that stuff contains?! Yikes, I would blow up. It makes me mad these messages set.
On a whole other note, for some reason your blog doesn’t come up on my blogroll when you post something new. And, I DID change the address too..strange.
Wow, I totally wish I went to that, I didn’t even know about it.
I’m sorry I didn’t advertise the blogger meet up on my blog, I was going to but then I didn’t know until the last minute that I could go myself and I didn’t want to be like see you there, oh no I won’t haha. I promise I’ll advertise the next one on my blog so you’ll see it.
I’m interested in Nourish- I have been wanting to go there but the reviews online are kind of bad…so I was afraid haha.
Wow that was amaazing.. I wish they had something like that where I am!! I’m llving all the free samples 🙂
Wow, this sounds amazing!! So many great products. Peanut butter hummus, that’s a new one. Sounds interesting!
Ok so clearly I made it here 🙂
The festival just looks amazing and hello swag?! Wow. I wish I could go to something like that to meet everyone..what fun!
WOW! How fun- I am totally jealous. A very cool festival. I think my favorite part is the dessert hummus- I have been wanting to try that so bad! Cute pic of you with all your goodies 😉
Dessert hummus?!?!? OMG!
WOW ~ What an awesome festival. I wish I went to the one in SF now. Thanks for sharing all the pics and FOOD – I definitely need to add it to my list the next go round for sure!
Thanks for the Nature’s path Contest shoutout – good luck!
You walked away with SO much more stuff than I did. But I was there at the end of the day on Sunday and didn’t mention my blog. WAY too crowded and I was just trying to keep track of my boyfriend.
Glad you had a good time!
