SHAPING THE FUTURE THROUGH WHAT WE EAT AND BUY
The Expo Manger Santé et Vivre Vert, Quebec’s largest health and nutrition event, is almost here! The 28th edition runs from March 21 to 23 at the Palais des congrès de Montréal.
With a focus on new products and major themes featuring food and ecological trends in 2025, the Montreal edition of the Expo Manger Santé et Vivre Vert is intended to be an experience rich in delicious discoveries, concrete solutions to improve your health, and ways to promote a greener, healthier future.
GOOD REASONS TO VISIT THE EXPO THIS YEAR
The 2025 event will be teeming with many practical workshops, inspiring conferences, and exciting cooking demonstrations offered on three stages, Vivre, Santé and Démo culinaire.
Visitors to the Scène Démo culinaire will have the pleasure of savouring a variety of culinary creations and exploring innovative meal ideas with Loounie (Caroline Huard) who will share plant-based cuisine shortcuts; Dom Cooks (Dominic Lamirande) who will reinvent Lebanese kebabs using La Milanaise products; Adelle Tarzibachi (Les Filles Fattoush) who will unveil the secrets of baba ganoush; the “air fry queen” Alexandra Diaz who will show us that you can be a veggie fan and adore your air fryer at the same time; as well as Katrine (K pour Katrine) and her daughter Margaux (Margaux Food) who will concoct a delicious vegetarian Moroccan bowl! We’ll also demystify a number of health foods such as edamame, oats, spelt, khorasan, vegetable-based proteins, as well as spirulina, and provide a host of tips and trucks to make a successful brunch, easy healthy snacks, and gluten-free protein waffles.
On the Scène Vivre, you will have the opportunity to see Isabelle Huot, PhD in nutrition, who will be giving two conferences: one about how diet can improve the menopause experience, and the other about the power of nutrition on beauty. Andréanne Martin, a microbiota specialist, will introduce us to the gut-brain axis; and the trio of athletes Étienne Boulay, Maxime Talbot and Bruno Gervais will invite the public to an exclusive presentation of Behy, a 100% natural hydration drink from Quebec. A group of passionate experts will also help you learn more about a variety of topics, including the importance of digestive health, Cuisine Tonique, regenerative agriculture and animal welfare, plant-based nutrition, the empty-fridge method, meal planning, essential oils, nutrition and beauty, as well as hypnosis and sleep.
The Scène Santé will welcome a host of specialists—including a nutritionist, dietician, researcher, aromatherapist, chemist, herbalist, naturopath, beekeeper, coach and various entrepreneurs—who will share their knowledge about a variety of today’s important topics, including nutrition labels, the cultural marriage of cooking traditions, factors that influence health and well-being, secrets of radiant skin, micro-naps, the benefits of herbs and spices, treatments, fermentation, and various products such as camelina, bee pollen, natural deodorant, collagen, and hemp.

Innovative products to be discovered this year include Moulin Abénakis edible yeast flakes in a variety of flavours; Épices du Mboa white Penja pepper; Moissonneries du Pay raw organic sprouted buckwheat; Aqua Santé solutions to purify and revitalize drinking water; Signé Cameline roasted camelina oil; Camelia Sinensis bold, energizing blend (matcha, mate, mint); Fit Cook’s new range of products; and Les Brutes and Grounded’s many flavours of TVP (textured vegetable protein). Visitors can add variety to their diets and level up their lifestyles with creative healthy products to enhance their well-being.
TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR HEALTH AND ADOPT A GREENER LIFESTYLE
The Expo is not just a food-based event, it is also an opportunity to find inspiration and discover concrete ways to take care of your health and the planet. For example, visitors will learn more about the Natural Factors range of gummies from the Canadian company Preferred Nutrition; Landish sparkling water with collagen; Land Art supplements to improve performance and cognitive ability; Nova Pharma dietary supplements; and Tanit natural daily essentials. Practical advice, recipes, and ecological tips will be shared to help everyone life a healthier life more responsibly.
EXPLORE SOLUTIONS TO WOMEN’S HEALTH ISSUES
In the company of Isabelle Huot, PhD in nutrition, women will obtain valuable advice about important issues, including how to better cope with menopause. After all, it’s possible to reduce a number of its uncomfortable symptoms through diet. How? By including phytoestrogens—estrogens found naturally in food—in your daily diet: soya and its derivatives (edamame beans, tofu, tempeh, roasted soya beans) as well as flaxseed. “Because, with life expectancy constantly increasing, women still have a third of their lives, or even a bit more, after their menopause,” Dr. Huot said recently.
More than ever, it’s essential to make thoughtful purchases that not only nourish our bodies, but that also respect the planet!
