Hiya Friend,
I’m a joyful homebody. So even though I love food, cooking and hanging out in the kitchen, I don’t love going to the grocery store. When it comes to produce, we usually shop a couple times a week (although because it’s garden season, I just stroll over to my veggie patch—woo-hoo!). For household and kitchen staples, I try to think ahead and get ‘er done, stocking up with enough toilet paper and hand soap to fill a bunker—it’s kinda like I’m prepping for the next Snowmageddon… in July!
Which is why I’m so thankful that Thrive Market exists. I’ve not only cut down on trips to the store, I’ve also cut some of my grocery shopping costs by 25-50%. New to Thrive? I was too, until recently. Basically, Thrive Market is an online supermarket on a mission to make healthy living accessible and more affordable for everyone. What sets Thrive apart from other online stores is that all of their products are at wholesale prices and they give you free shipping for orders over $49. Plus, Thrive has a really awesome 1:1 model: For every paid membership, Thrive donates a free membership to a low-income family, student, school teacher or veteran. Yep, pretty awesome.

To celebrate Thrive and all the fabulous things they’re doing, we’ve teamed up to bring you a HUGE Crazy Sexy Giveaway.

What could be better than eating healthy food and staying on budget? Nada. Just the other day I visited Thrive and loaded up my digital cart with a bunch of my pantry and personal care faves. A few days later they arrived on my doorstep—Boo-yah! It was so quick and easy, plus I saved $82.40 (over 32%).
Here’s my haul—you can check out how I’ve used some of them in the yummy recipe below.
- Organic Virgin Coconut Oil: I could go on and on about all of the uses for this luxurious oil—it’s a nutritious cooking substitute and great for your skin too.
- Almond Butter: This scrumptious spread is a staple in my healthy home. From putting a grown-up twist on the classic peanut butter sandwich, to giving raw desserts a rich and nutty flavor, I never let my almond butter supply run dry. It also finds its way into my smoothies most days!
- Maple Syrup: This sweetie is the perfect addition to your morning oatmeal or healthy desserts—without any refined sugars. Plus, it’s loaded with antioxidants and minerals.
- Goji Berries: These little suckers add a powerful antioxidant boost to your trail mix and they’re also a great dessert topper.
- Chia Seeds: Have you tried chia pudding? If not, you’re in for a treat! You can even use these omega-3-filled seeds as an egg substitute for your vegan baked recipes. Woot!
- Hemp Seeds: Sprinkle these special guys on top of your salad for an extra punch of protein. Add them to your smoothies and you’ve got a hearty breakfast or lunch, chock full of vitamins and minerals.
- Nori Sheets: These mineral-rich sheets are full of calcium and iron—they’re the queen of wraps for your sushi fixings!
- Brown Rice: Think brown rice is boring? Well, think again! Ditch typical takeout and whip up your own version of your favorite Asian meal using this fiber-loaded grain. How about brown rice pudding? If you’re making it, I’ll be there in 10…!
- Tamari: Gluten sensitive? Tamari could be the tasty soy sauce solution you’ve been waiting for (just make sure you look for the gluten-free variety). Deepen the flavors in your sauces and soups with this awesome ingredient.

Coconut oil!
I never thought that I would care for anything associated with coconut but I was wrong. I love coconut oil and have been looking for a great coconut butter. Will definitely check out Thrive for their fabulous products!!
Yes, it is coconut oil! From popcorn to oil-pulling… Wow!
My favorite pantry item is organic canned beans.
Nutritional yeast!
Brown rice. I can make a good filling meal as long as I have it.
I can’t live without HONEY! I use it for sore throats and in my smoothies.
I LOVE Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, I use it on my skin, in baking, and love to popcorn in it! Extra yummy!
Can’t go without organic virgin coconut oil! Use it in the kitchen and on my skin every day.
fresh basil!
Gotta have black beans in the pantry. Delicious, nutritious, and very versatile.
Can’t live without oats, coconut oil, cinnamon, and turmeric!
I love Coconut Secret Coconut Aminos Soy-Free Sauce. It tastes like soy but has no soy ingredient. It has 65% less sodium than the average soy sauce on the market. It is naturally high in the essential amino acids and has a near-neutral PH level. It is also a Non-GMO Verified and Certified Organic product. I use it in salad dressing and stir-frying my vegetables. I am always finding new ways to incorporate the great taste of Coconut Secret Coconut Aminos Soy-Free Sauce in my cooking.
My favorite pantry item is coconut oil. I cook with it and use it on my body.
I find it interesting that there are no comments here about Thrive’s horrible membership practices and failure to cancel membership and provide refunds. I guess these types of comments are being censored because I see them all over other blogs in regard to this store. Kris’s website is one of my favorites, but so much product sponsorship without a full picture is concerning to me. Thrive has disconnected all of its contact emails and phone numbers and replaced them with an online FAQ portal. They don’t respond and just charge your card. Many people are filing complaints through the BBB to get their money back. Be wary of sponsoring companies that don’t hold up their end of the deal, it ruins credibility.
Hi Jes! Through August we experienced a large boom in new customers and inquiries which led to a backlog and largely delayed response times. We apologize for the inconvenience and are happy to refund any unwanted and unused memberships due to our neglect. We’ve expanded our member services team and would be happy to help you in real time on our FAQ portal if you have still yet to settle your account: https://thrivemarket.com/faq/contact/
My favorite is Primal Kitchen Mayo. I’m into Paleo diet and this is one of the mayo that has been approved by this kind of diet. Also, this is hard to find and quite costy in Amazon. In Thrive Market, I can only get it for $9.
Hi Germaine! Thank you for your support! Our Primal Kitchen Avocado Mayo is only $7.45! Enjoy here: https://thrivemarket.com/primal-kitchen-avocado-oil-mayo
I can’t live without medjool dates! They allow me to have a sweet treat and without them I would make some unhealthy choices!
