Sippin’ In The Sun: The LA Grove Event
Sun, surf, and some serious style—LA's got it all. And lucky us, we got to soak it all in at The Grove shopping destination during our pop event in early May. Handing out shakes and making new friends in such a gorgeous setting was an absolute treat. And for all of you who got to join us for some sippin' in the sun, it was a pleasure to meet you!
If you missed it, no worries—we're here to dive into some highlights (and whet your appetite for events to come).
Mixin' and Sippin' With The LA Crowd
After setting up shop, we got right to mixin' and mingling, pouring a constant flow of samples for thousands of passersby. How many samples, exactly? Over two days in the beautiful California sun, we handed out 7,900 shakes—an incredible 7.3 shakes per minute.
But we didn't just put smiles on new faces; this event also gave us an opportunity to connect with some of our long-term subscribers, brand enthusiasts, and most loyal customers. And as a gesture of gratitude, some of them even got to go home with a little surprise: branded Ka’Chava MiiR bottles, perfect for keeping your shake cold on the go.
We even got to see a few of our favorite LA friends and Ka’Chava fans. Thanks for stopping by, Rachel Brann, Alex Silver Fagan, Jen Robin, Jenna Ushkowitz, and Mahna Ghafori! You all rock.
We always like to keep things interesting, so we threw in some Ka'Chava flight tastings to shake things up. With each of the five flavors in front of them, Ka'Chava lovers got to determine which flavor was their true favorite.
The top hits? Matcha, Coconut Acai, and Chai. No surprise there, LA has never been known for its traditional sensibilities. (We still love you, Chocolate and Vanilla).
Of course, we couldn't let our friends leave empty-handed. Along with free samples, we also handed out cards valid for one free bag of Ka'Chava. Cash those babies in and let the good times roll (in the kitchen).
LA Captured Our Hearts, We Captured Taste Buds
By far, the most exciting part of the event was hearing feedback from people trying Ka'Chava for the first time. Sharing our nutritious and delicious shake never gets old. Here are a couple of our favorite soundbites:
An eager newfound Ka'Chava fan:
"This will be my new breakfast routine."
The question of the year:
"How does something this good for you actually taste delicious?"
And you can't beat the simple yet profound:
"Chia hits."
In addition to taking in all of the Ka'Chava praise, we also got some insight into long-time Ka'Chava fans' favorite ways to enjoy their shakes. From unique mix-ins to traditional options with a twist, the possibilities are truly endless.
Our Incredible Event Partners
We could never forget to mention the amazing brands we partnered with that made this event so memorable.
What was our move?
We linked up with some of the most popular fitness studios in the area, including Pvolve, Wunderbar, and Bunda, to put smiles on the faces of fitness enthusiasts with a free bag of Ka'Chava.
We also got cozy with APL shoes, who now have a stack of FREE Ka'Chava bag cards they'll share with anyone who makes a purchase in the next month. (Think of us when you strap on those new shoes, friends).
And We've Only Just Begun
Hitting the road and sharing Ka'Chava is our new favorite pastime. We can't express how fulfilling it is to pour a glass of head-to-toe nutrition and sip it with you all—which is why we don't plan to slow down anytime soon.
Where are we headed next? You'll have to stay tuned to get the skinny on that one. But there's a lot more where this came from, so keep your eyes and ears open—we may be setting up shop in your neighborhood soon.
