Pumpkin Spice Hot Cocoa Is Back
Bare Life is excited to announce the return of their Pumpkin Spice Hot Cocoa Mix. Unlike other hot cocoas that use “pumpkin spice” flavorings, Bare Life continues its commitment to using organic and simple ingredients. This beloved mix includes whole ingredients like organic cinnamon, organic ginger, organic nutmeg, organic allspice, and organic cloves. These simple ingredients make their Pumpkin Spice Hot Cocoa Mix: Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Corn Free, Organic, Vegan, and Refined Sugar Free. Just add hot water and savor the comforting flavors of fall all year round.
Retail Availability
Customers can find Bare Life’s Hot Cocoa Mixes on shelves in over 150 stores across 20 states, including select ShopRite locations and all Whole Foods throughout New England.
Product availability varies, but the popular hot cocoa mixes are sold in recyclable single-serving packets, large scoopable pouches, or 5 lb. bulk food service options. Find a list of Bare Life locations and product availability at www.eatbarelife.com/locations.
Bare Life Beginnings
Ali Lazowski started the organic, plant based, and refined sugar free hot cocoa company, Bare Life, after being diagnosed during her junior year of college with IBS, Hashimoto's disease, Thyroid cancer, and Lyme disease. The chronic conditions and diseases she was diagnosed with required a change in her lifestyle and diet.
Ali’s dietary needs included foods that were gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free. She found that the foods available either did not taste good or did not cover multiple allergens. Taking matters into her own hands – literally – Ali developed the original Bare Life recipes in her own kitchen.
Statistics show that many Americans live with chronic illnesses, allergies, and sensitivities: 133 million Americans (40% of the population) live with chronic illness, and even more are affected by these illnesses, and 15 million Americans have food allergies and sensitivities. Recognizing the number of people with unmet dietary needs, Ali Lazowski launched Bare Life in 2018 to reimagine nostalgic foods and bring elevated, crave-worthy, and convenient foods to allergen friendly eating for the millions of people living with chronic illnesses, food allergies, and sensitivities.

The popular plant-based hot cocoa has also been honored for the past four years in Lux Life Magazine's Food and Drink Awards, most recently as Best Vegan Cocoa Brand.
