If you're on Facebook you've probably seen frequent updates from various Vegan bloggers and companies reporting about the new up and coming veg*n products. For those of you who haven't been following, the Natural Products Expo West is a huge event held in California . Each year thousands of healthy, organic, and natural product companies unveil their new ideas and products. It's basically a vegan heaven filled the best of the best companies and vegan personalities. http://www.expowest.com/ew14/public/Content.aspx?ID=1046702

Here are a few pics of products that have been reported so far: Large pics :

I've always wanted to go, but it's soooooo expensive.

I've always wanted to go, but it's soooooo expensive.

That is one of the reasons why I never attend expos.

The price is ridiculously expensive. If I lived in the area I would be tempted to hang out outside, grab some food from the Beyond Meat truck (they have one set up outside the expo) and hope to catch some celebrities from the vegan community.

That is one of the reasons why I never attend expos.

Years ago I got to attend a restaurant expo in Chicago for free since my fiancee at the time worked in the industry. It was a really cool experience. I left with tons of free samples and got to try new products. I would love to go to a veg*n one in the future.
