TOGETHER WITH: THRIVE MARKET 🤝

Have you tried Thrive Market? I have to admit I was hesitant at first, because I really don’t like shopping for food online. But after researching their company and trying out a few orders of my own, I’m actually VERY impressed with them (and I know a fellow dietitian who works there and has great things to say about them as a company).

Here is what I like about Thrive:

  • Thousands of the highest-quality organic and sustainable products

  • Specialty items for 90+ lifestyle and dietary needs (including vegan)

  • No artificial flavors or synthetic colors

  • Rigorous quality standards with hundreds of restricted ingredients

  • They the first online-only retailer to accept SNAP EBT

If you’d like to give Thrive a try, click here and save 30% off your first order. Then let me know what you think after your first delivery!

I’M CURIOUS 🧐…
