The last several months have been a whirlwind—in the best way.

Last year, we decided to take Ka’Chava on the road, and get our shakes into the hands of people at real-life events, and it’s been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.

Taking our outreach offline and making real-life connections has given us an opportunity to finally see our mission in action: helping people nourish their bodies with superfoods and essential nutrients so they can feel their best.

In addition to introducing thousands of new people to Ka'Chava, these events have also given us a chance to learn so much about you guys, our community. Some of you love drinking Ka'Chava as an on-the-go breakfast, others make it a go-to for pre-workout fuel, while still others find innovative ways to include the nutrient-richness that Ka'Chava provides in all kinds of non-shake recipes. (You can find some amazing ideas on our recipe blog.)

But by far the most rewarding part of hosting live events is seeing the looks on people's faces when they take their very first sip of Ka'Chava. It's not every day that you get to savor dessert-like flavor in a nutrient-packed shake—you know what we’re talking about.

So let’s take a look at our most recent events. And get your calendar ready, because we have another one coming up soon that you won’t want to miss.

Huntington Beach Surf Event

Last summer, we hit the sunny beaches of SoCal to set up a booth for guests attending the world's largest surf competition, held on the beautiful sands and sprawling shoreline of Huntington Beach.

The surf? Amazing. The People? Even better.

As you might imagine, this type of competition draws crowds of all kinds, so we got to meet everyone from surf-fanatics to volleyball players to superfans and everyone in between. The common thread? They all love the beach, love to stay active, and love those feel-good SoCal vibes. Naturally, Ka'Chava fit in perfectly.

Throughout the event, we sampled shakes and gave away full-size bags of Vanilla Ka'Chava to event guests and our local partners, Huntington Beach Equinox and Lululemon.

We also had the opportunity to hang out with three pro surfers: Crosby Colapinto, Alyssa Spencer, and Michael Dunphy. (Cheers, Crosby, for your second-place win!)

Our biggest takeaway: apparently Ka'Chava is delicious…who knew? (We knew.)

Overall, the event was a soaring success, which excited us even more for our next stop: Aspen, Colorado.

Aspen, Colorado Ski Event

Far away from the sunny shores of California, we ventured to the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Aspen is a picturesque town nestled between vast mountain ranges, making it the perfect destination for ski lovers and nature lovers alike.

We set up shop at the base of the Aspen mountain over President’s Day Weekend in mid-February, one of the most popular ski weekends of the year, to provide skiers and snowboarders with a taste of nutrition as they headed on or off the mountain.

Sampling all five flavors of our shakes, we handed out an average of 5.2 shakes per second. Yes, you read that right—per second! Our Aspen friends took home a free full-sized bag of Ka'Chava, along with exclusive event-only swag.

By far, the highlight of the event was our meet and greet that we hosted with none other than 5x Olympic snowboarder Shaun White. Did we mention he also happens to be our Brand Ambassador? (Excuse the subtle flex, but come on, it's Shaun White).

Shaun joined our fans at the booth, along with our founder Simon Malone, passing out shakes, taking pics, and telling everyone what a massive fan he is of Ka’Chava.

By the end of our Aspen event, we knew we were on to something. Meeting people in person brings Ka'Chava and everything we stand for to life. The only question was, where to go next?

Grab your friends and join us in LA

We've soaked in the sun and hit the slopes, so where are we off to next?

Coming up on the weekend of May 4th through May 5th, you can find us passing out samples of Ka'Chava at The Grove in Los Angeles.

Ka’Chava is the perfect fuel for active people invested in their wellness routine, so we know we’re headed to the right place. We're excited to meet and greet our LA friends, make new connections, and enjoy the beautiful scenery at this one-of-a-kind shopping mall.

Come hang with us at The Grove and bring your friends. We look forward to seeing you there!
