Mashup LA - A Much Needed Quarantine Survival Box Focused on Health and Sustainability
2020 is nearly over and that is something worth celebrating! I recently had the opportunity to celebrate the occasion with a virtual happy hour with Lindsay Hoffman of Dose of Bliss, Niki from PR Lab Online and Mashup LA!
Picked up the goods! Typically Mashup LA events are in-person, but due to COVID-19 things have shifted for a bit! The change was well-received and gave everyone a platform to connect and hear about the hottest brands. Photo Credit: Lindsay Hoffman
Presented by Brave Beginnings, OneHope Wine and Shoutout Express the Virtual Mashup LA Friendsgiving Happy Hour, was a time to take a much-needed break. The virtual event brought together over 20 influencers and content creators to try some of the hottest brands on the market.
This box was snack HEAVY which is basically necessary since we are still in quarantine. The snacks were both delicious AND health forward.
Kickstart healthier habits with Suja Organic which happens to have some of the best pressed juices around without the hefty price tag. As of now, Suja offers a 3-Day Organic Juice Cleanse includes 7 daily functional juices + 1 shot and a recipe for a hearty breakfast each day.
Incorporating Suja into your daily routine is an easy way to ensure you’re receiving your daily dose of vegetables! Unlike similar brands, Suja is also budget-friendly!
Beyond Meat provided a meal kit which was delicious. I’m not vegan, but this was purely amazing and will be a weekly staple in my household from now on. Bitchin Sauce surprised attendees with their amazing vegan sauces. The OG has a bit of lemon and garlic flavor to it and totally crave-worthy. The entire line has sauces for every flavor profile such as: Cilantro Chili, Buffalo, Green Chili, Spinach Artichoke and more. Truff Hot Sauce is the pinnacle of heat It’s a hot sauce infused with white truffles and has a bit of kick to it. You’re going to want to stock up on these for sure!
Don’t forget the dessert! Re:THINK Ice Cream is changing the game when it comes to a decadent ice cream! Re:THINK is low in sugar so it’s diabetic and keto-friendly and it’s also lactose-free! You can finally have ALL of the ice cream with ZERO guilt!

Kombucha has been on the rise especially during quarantine. Celebrities have been on this trend for quite some time, but as time goes on more and more brands are getting creative and experimnntal with flavors and healthy additives. Health-Ade is extending its products and created Health-Ade Booch Pop which is a feel-good bubbly beverage that has belly benefits, less sugar, and nothing fake! It’s a great alternative to soda!
Throughout the course of the virtual happy hour attendees were able to enjoy delicious wines from ONEHOPE Wine while learning about Brave Beginnings, the non-profit that helps preemies thrive!
Additional items included products from: Beauty Kitchen, INEXGEAR, GimMe Snacks and Humblemaker Coffee Co. This box single-handedly made me a firm believer that healthy snacks can indeed be delicious. This was a great way to learn about incredible brands and seeing familiar faces!
