Of all the amazing Boston-based vegan/health products I’ve tried over the years, most of them pale in comparison to ones of the brands I tried way back, when I was first transitioning to a vegetarian lifestyle.
Throwing it back to, like, 2011, when I was first introduced to organic, plant-based eating, and took a 10 week raw vegan health course (against my will, at first). I went hardcore into all things organic, alkaline and raw and learned all about the latest, crazy health trends, met people who were eating nothing but raw veggies for the most part and were meditating for like for hours a day.
Not exactly my crowd, as it turns out.
BUT. I did meet Bruce Nameson, who was also a part of this group. There was a hue emphasis on dehydrating at the time, and Bruce, along with his business partner, Craig Singer were just starting up Organic Living Superfoods after closing down one of my all-time fave restaurants in Massachusetts, Prana Cafe. OLS was, and still is, based around all things organic, raw, vegan and dehydrated, and they’ve now developed into a massive, thriving company, and I’ve seen their amazing products stocked at health food stores all over the country. I not only relish in the deliciousness of their goods when I find them, but can’t help but think of them just starting out all those years ago, with just a few dehydrators. Their business has exploded into a mix of raw dried fruits, sprouted, seasoned nuts, energy squares, chocolates and superfood powders/blends.
Their latest endeavor is their addictive crunches, which are basically naturally sweetened and flavored raw granolas. And man, are they insanely good. Made with organic, simple ingredients like dates, coconut, cacao, hemp seeds, sprouted sunflower seeds and spices, they’re perfectly sweet, and oh-so-good for you!
Check out my creations with their Banana Protein Crunch, Blueberry Hemp Protein Crunch, Ceylon Cinnamon Crunch, Chocolate Crunch and Mocha Latter Crunch, along with some of their flavor-packed spiced nuts and make sure and order some for yourself! And whatever you do, make sure you try their Pizzalmonds because they are literally life-changing.
