Spring Entertaining Event at Save-On Foods Cambie

Over the weekend, Save-On Foods Cambie hosted Spring Entertaining at Cambie and CarrotLines was there to entertain! CarrotLines, armed with the chocolate-y goodness of BlissBalls from New World Natural Foods, had an awesome time sharing goodies with shoppers and showing them how to use the CarrotLines App!

The Spring Entertaining at Cambie event showcased a number of healthy natural food products.  Our friends from Monkey Toast, Glutino, Holy Crap Cereal, and Granola Girl, just to mention a few, were all there!  Best of all – they’re all BC or Canadian made products!

The Hockey Player’s Diet

The CarrotLines team wanted to offer these young athletes and other hockey fanatics some healthy tips in hopes to better improve their game!

As a result, hockey players need to ensure a well balanced diet that can fuel enough energy for on-ice and off-ice activities.
