Southwest Beverages Instant Hot Chocolate and Coffee Review and #Giveaway

Southwest Beverages
        I hate going to places like Starbucks or Tim Hortons everyday to get a yummy snack.  The costs are ridiculous!  Unfortunately over the end of the last school year, my father spoiled my boys by taking them every morning before school.  They would each get donuts and a gourmet hot chocolate.  He did this because he knew we were moving where he wouldn't be able to spend that time in the morning with them the following year.


        Unfortunately this kind of screwed me in a way!  Now the cheap grocery store hot chocolate just can't compete.  So I had to come up with something new and thankfully, timing couldn't be more perfect.  I was asked to review several products from Southwest Beverages like their Sippity® Hot Cocoa Mix and Kemosabe® Gourmet Coffee.  The brand offers a selection of gourmet flavors blended into a dry mix form  that is 100 % gluten free and 99.9 % caffeine free from only American suppliers.  Even better there is "less than 2 grams of sugar per serving"

        I was sent over their Sippity Lite®-Flavored Cocoa Collection, Sippity®-Flavored Cocoa Collection, and Kemosabe® Flavored Coffee Collection with flavors like Creme Butterscotch, Irish Cream, Cinnamon, or Raspberry.   Now I've had myself quite a few different kinds of hot chocolate and even some gourmet blends when they come in gift baskets over the years.  I can honestly say, I have never in my life tasted one as good as this.

        Not only did it come at a perfect time when everyone in our house was sick as well as the cold weather season coming quickly in Michigan.  I am normally a hardcore coffee drinker and I have found myself barreling through this hot chocolate like it was going out of style.  My personal favorite has been the Irish cream flavor.  However, the boys in my house, of course loved the chocolate and chocolate marshmallow

Available to purchase/Cost: $6.95 Box of 8 Gourmet Instant Hot Chocolate ($7.95 for Lite, $8.79 Box of 10 Coffee)
Recommendation:  This is beyond worth the cost and honestly this is only a tiny bit more expensive than what you'd buy at the grocery store.  This is TOTALLY worth the purchase no matter what you drink in my opinion!

  17. I enjoy most flavors of coffee and hot chocolate, but my favorite is usually the basic mocha. I will probably have these at work, since the work coffee is pretty weak and the work coffee pot is slow.
