It was an amazing experience, since I have a lot of allergies and can't have that many foods. It was set in Liverpool's Exhibition Centre, and I'm telling you, it was sooooooooooooo windy!!!!!!!!!!
I'll show you what the it looked like inside:
Yeah, so there was like, LOADS of these stalls!!!!! We all had a great time though, and now I'll show you some of the stalls we went to.
Ok, so the first one of which I actually got a picture of is a stall called 'Happy Snacks'. I don't know if you've heard of it..?
They're basically healthy snacks especially for kids (yaay) which everyone can eat. Including me.
The packs they were selling that day were 'Roasted Fava Beans' which taste AMAZING!!! They're high in protein, and low in sugar. They look like NUTS but they're NOT.
Next, we found our way to a 'Koko Coconut' stall. Now, Koko is sooooo soooooo good. If you've not tried it already (assuming you like coconut stuff) then you SHOULD. Really!!! They were giving out free samples of coconut milk, coconut yogurt, (and one of the ladies gave me 2 FREE raspberry flavored yogurts, just because she had heard about my blogs) and, um, I think that's it.
They even had a COMPETITION, which you entered, of course, and had a chance to win a FREE Koko Coconut bag!!!
I look very pleased with myself in that picture...!
Anyways, then we kind of milled around, looking in different stalls, trying free samples whenever we could, until we came this stall. This stall wasn't about food, (in that I mean free samples and that kind of stuff) but it was podcasts, about allergies and helpful advice about them. It's hosted by a lady called Nina, (who's very friendly) and it looks really cool!! I'm definitely going to give it a go. Here is the website, if you're interested: https://www.eatallergysafe.com/
They had a little activity on a table, where you colored in a cardboard person and then they took a picture of it and hung it on a string in their stall. I did one too, as you can see!!!
Nina also has some pretty cool recipes on her website, so I'll post them here (and then you won't have the trouble of looking for them on the website😆):

Allergies aren't about missing out, they're about doing things differently.
Anyways, after that we went to Schar, and Jenny had a FREE WAFFLE with CHOCOLATE SYRUP and CRUSHED OREOS and CREAM on top (mmmm😋) which I couldn't eat...! I bet it was sooooo yum...
then we walked around some more, and finally settled down in the only chair we could find - which was on an OCCUPIED table! But don't worry, we made friends with them.
This is what Jenny looked like after we sat down:
Hahaaaa!!! She's funny, isn't she? Me and mom were fine though:
(We're eating Nature's Path 'O's, with coconut milk on)
We then waited in line for what seemed like HOURS and then were finally given a free bag full of different stuff from the exhibition!! So, as you can see below, we ended up with a LOT of stuff.
(You can almost imagine mom shaking her head at all the stuff we had!!!!)
Anyways, thanks so much for taking the time to read this (and if you've actually made it to the bottom of the post, congratulations!!!)
Bye for now,
Val xxx
