What a great giveaway! I would like to launch a foodie business related to my blog where I re-create recipes using healthier, more unprocessed ingredients.
I would love a foodie business where I can educate kids on proper nutrition while making it fun. A healthy cooking class for kids and families!

A nut butter company out of my own kitchen!
Liked ’em all on FB!!!
I would love to open a bakery!
I liked you all on Facebook! I have to say, I started following this blog for work, but I find that I’m loving everything you post!
May I ask what kind of work you do?
Of course! I work with weight loss camps & resorts.
I’ve always thought about how awesome a business would be that does the prep work for healthy foods for you. It’d be like a meal delivery service, but the food would come ready to be cooked; that way you could have a fresh meal on your own schedule at a fraction of the time.
My foodie business would probably be homemade healthy treats and granola! I love the Mix Your Own cereal website that allows you to do it yourself, and I’m always trying new combos at home!

My foodie dream would be to open a food truck in Hawaii with healthy Korean tacos – yummy food and pretty locale! (Plus, we could drive to the beach and work at the same time.)
My sister and I have always wanted to start a bakery!

Foodie Dream Business for me would be date, fig and peanut butter truffle balls covered in chocolate. Yum!
Mouth is watering!
I like all 3 Facebook pages, too!
I like them all on FB.
I would love to be someone’s personal healthy grocery shopper and chef!
Me too!
I think a business where people can come and learn to cook healthy dishes for a low price – people just need a little help and their health would improve dramatically!
Follow them all on FB!
I would love to open a food conscious fast casual restaurant, with all sorts of customizations.
Like Justin’s
Like NNOTR!
Dream foodie business? Hmm, a local market owner in a low-income part of town. Would love to show more people how buying healthy, wholesome food can be done on a budget when you buy local!
I’ve always wanted to open a bakery!
Also, like someone posted above, it’d be so much fun to start a personal grocery shopping business! I LOVE grocery shopping!
On my bucket list? Publish a fat-loss friendly cookbook. Oh, and for local clients, I’d love to offer some sort of cooking (I just wrote cookie lol) series i.e. how to shop, prep and cook.
I don’t have a dream foodie business, but I do have a dream fitness business and I would love to read this for inspiration. Plus, that Justin’s looks amazing! :)
Can my foodie business be taste testing new products? That would be awesome!
I want to open a chocolate shop!
I would love to sell breads, cinnamon rolls, and other baked goodies at our farm markets.
I think my dream foodie business would be a yogurt bar. Not froyo – like, real Greek yogurt — with tons and tons of possible mix-ins!
If you are ever in NYC, you must check out Chobani SoHo!
Ohhhh thanks for the tip!!! :)
I liked everyone on FB!

My dream foodie business would be a healthy breakfast restaurant — filled with oatmeal varieties, whole wheat pancakes, eggs, etc.
Let me know when it opens ;) I heart breakfast!
My dream business would be a coffee and pastry shop combined with a used book store! I’d host book clubs and let people read books from the shelves while visiting my shop!
I would start a trendy ice-cream shop! Maybe one day :)
A fast, student loan-friendly healthy food option other than plain Caesar salads (that aren’t all that healthy anyway) on the campus of my medical school!
My dream business includes running and operating a health food joint offering everything from a build your own salad bar, to a mix your own smoothie station, to nutritious grab and go snacks. Ideally I’d like for it to be located right next to a yoga studio in order to promote not only healthy eating, but also spiritual well-being. Together, the two store fronts can create a healthy movement towards improving the lives of individuals one person at a time. Be the change you wish to see in the world! :D
Terrific!
I liked everyone on Facebook!
I’ve always wanted to start a candied nut company. Yum!! OR a pie business. Love baking pies!!
I would love so much to open up a smoothie shop. There isn’t really a good one in my town and I think it would do so well!!
I always thought it would be interesting to be a taste tester of new and up coming foods (especially health foods/recipes). On the flip side, working in a bakery has always intrigued me : )
Liked Nutrition Nut on the Run on FB!
Liked Love Grown Foods on FB!
my dream foodie business is to own a candy store. already have a name picked out and everything! sugar shack! haha.
I liked them all on Facebook!
This is such a fantastic giveaway! My dream foodie business would probably be to own an artisan chocolate shop. However, it would take a lot of will power not to consume all of the dark chocolate myself!
A French style bakery that only uses local goods with none of the yuck ingredients!
I liked Evol, Love Grown, Justin’s, and NNOTR on FB!
My dream food business would be to have a high quality pastry shop with macaroons, eclairs, and more!
I would love to educate and provide resources to others about locally sourced non-industry food!
I like you on Facebook!
A small vegan and gluten-free cafe!

I would love to have a raw vegan bakery!

I like Love Grown Foods.
I like Justin’s on FB.
I have two dream foodie businesses!
One would be a little vegan/vegetarian restaurant – just a small place where I could really show people all of the amazing possibilities that exist! I love creating new salads and recipes that people enjoy, even when they thought they wouldn’t! My favorite dressing? Avocado, yogurt, cumin, hot chilies, salt, all blended together!
The second would actually be a firm that works to improve upon current food safety standards, and make healthy food more affordable. The biggest reasons healthy foods are more expensive are various subsidies and interest/lobbyist groups from food production companies! Working to make the food more affordable would go a long way to helping families that feel they just can’t be healthy!
Starting a homemade frozen yogurt business would be nice and fun!
I liked all FB pages, too. Thanks!
I liked all the pages :)
I would love to have my own coffee shop.
My dream foodie business is a gluten free food truck. The food would be GF, but I would make sure it appeals to everyone, i.e. tastes good. That way GF people can eat “normal” food but trust that it’s completely safe and not cross contaminated.
Liked “Love Grown Foods” on FB as Snow Cream and Syrup.
…liked Justin’s on FB as Snow Cream and Syrup.
… and I liked Evol on FB… and Nutrition Nut. I just realized that “separate method” probably didn’t mean a separate post per Facebook profile. Sigh. Please delete as many comments as necessary.
I CAN read, I promise.
cupcakes cupcakes and more cupcakes!

I have tweeted about the giveaway! THANK YOU!

My dream foodie business…I love bread. Haha opening a healthy bakery would be awesome! The smell of bread everyday and every second – AMAZING. :)
My dream food business is a make it your own chocolate truffle store with all kinds of add-ins and toppings! Who doesn’t love chocolate?! ;-)
I’m a Facebook fan of all the sponsors’ pages, too!
Tweeted! https://twitter.com/Serene_streams/status/407704661278216192
I think it would be cool to develop some sort of game (like an app or computer game) that teaches kids about nutrition, eating healthy and positive self-image! Haha kind of like those math games we all played as kids, but with food!
I like all four of you on Facebook!
I tweeted!
My foodie business would be definitely something with my foodie blog!!!
I liked Justin’s on Facebook!
I’d love to own a vegan bakery/coffee house!
My dream food business would be a coffee shop. I love visiting local, independently owned coffee shops, so I would love to open up my own!

My dream foodie business would be homemade nut butters, my favorite! :)

Everyone has been liked on Facebook! I liked your page a while back!
