Inside Look: Chamberlin’s Natural Foods

We were invited to a media event at Chamberlin’s Natural Foods on East Colonial Drive, near Baldwin Park, to learn more about what they have to offer. Vegans, fitness, food and lifestyle bloggers were in attendance.

Chamberlin’s Natural Foods is a local natural food grocery store chain with a diverse offering of homeopathic remedies, vitamins & prepared food. Their popular items include all-natural vitamins and groceries, organic and local produce, cruelty-free cosmetics, and even organic pet food and baby care. They do not sell any products with artificial flavors, colors or preservatives and their knowledgable staff members are specialized in giving customers one-on-one attention so that they can choose the products that are the best fit for them.

Here are some pictures from the event:

Mary Ann, director of Chamberlain’s welcomed us to the media night.

Delicious and nutritious smoothie samples.

One of the employees said she wanted to see someone take a picture at the “edible wall” pretending to eat the lettuce, so I did it!

Blogger Lori and her adorable son, Soren. She told us she shopped at Chamberlain’s regularly when she was pregnant with him.

A variety of kombucha on tap.

Fresh guacamole and juices.

We also got to participate in an interactive shopping experience.

Here are my top 5 picks at Chamberlin’s:

1. Thai Crystal Deodorant Stone

Deodorant stone is made from crystallized natural mineral salts which kills odor causing bacteria. It does not contain any harmful chemicals, oils, perfumes, or emulsifiers. It is pure and natural.

2. Collagen Peptides

For skin elasticity, strong nails, healthy hair, joints & mobility.

3. Essential Oils

I love dropping essentials oils into my diffuser – doesn’t matter what time of the day. Any time is the perfect time to use a diffuser.

4. Bragg’s Liquid Aminos

I’ve been using this natural soy sauce alternative at home for years, especially for my take-out sushi or homemade fried rice. It is made with vegetable protein from soybeans and purified water.

5. Bragg’s Nutritional Yeast Seasoning

A popular cheese alternative for vegans and non-vegans. A great addition to soups, salads, vegetables, pasta, dips, popcorn, juices and smoothies for added flavor and nutrition. Contains no salt, sugar, egg, milk, gluten, wheat, corn, starch, soy, animal derivatives, artificial colors & preservatives.
