Stuff I like: Bare Life Hot Cocoa
On the backpacking trips I lead—like Secrets of Nature, Stronger Together, Wild Heart, and I Am Enough—I’m always on the hunt for the best food options, preferring organic and local whenever possible. It's one of the reasons I love handling the food myself—I get to seek out the finest ingredients and offer a unique backcountry culinary experience.
After a day of burning calories and the chill of evening sweeps in, nothing warms you up quite like a warm cup of hot cocoa. It’s a cozy reminder of carefree childhood days when cocoa was the perfect treat after a day spent outdoors.
While searching for a dairy-free hot cocoa, I discovered Bare Life Hot Cocoa—a coconut milk-based delight that's deliciously creamy. I honestly prefer it to any other hot cocoa packet I’ve tried, and it's quickly become my go-to treat on the trail. Mix it with coffee in the morning for a delicious mocha that kickstarts your day!
You can bet I'll be serving this on all my upcoming adventures!
And here's a fun bonus: I’m an ambassador for Bare Life because I truly believe in their product and the values they represent. Grab your own cup of Bare Life Hot Cocoa and enjoy 10% off your order using my promo code WHOLELIFEELEVATION
