I have been a Thrive Market member since 2020 and consistently recommend it as one of my favorite online wellness companies! Not only do they make shopping for health foods easy with their well-organized website, but they also make it super convenient (hellooo grocery delivery!)

So I thought it would be fun to open up my latest Thrive order and share all about it on the blog.

What I love About Thrive Market

Convenience!

Since having kids you will rarely find me in a grocery store (literally only costco and the occasional pickup if I need just a couple things) but by far, I use grocery pickup or delivery services like Thrive the most often. It is just so convenient and saves me so much time 👏 I can save my favorites, save a set weekly or monthly list of things, and within a couple of clicks my groceries are ordered and on their way! I am regularly impressed with the shipping times Thrive Market has and can usually expect getting my stuff 2-3 days after I order.

Affordability

While there is a yearly membership fee for Thrive Market, they have a money back guarauntee. If you do not save at least the amount of your membership, they will credit it back to your account. Below is a screenshot of my own personal account and how much I have saved since having an account. This is based off of the price you pay on Thrive vs. the prices found at other retailers, plus the price of any free monthly gifts you’ve received… needless to say, it well covers my membership cost. But to be honest, even if I wasn’t saving a ton of money, it’s worth it for me personally for the convenience alone.

Shopping By Diets

For any allergy-family, or food sensitivity fam- this is a game changer. My husband and daughter are gluten free, and I usually am too just out of convenience (minus some homemade sourdough 🤤). I also have shared before about how I used Whole 30 to kickstart my healing journey and find some food sensitivities I have. It you follow a special “diet” or avoid certain ingredients, this makes shopping so so easy. You simply go under that tab and everything is good to go- no needing to check labels or google if this is okay. They offer the following labels to filter by:

• gluten free

• dairy free

• whole 30

• paleo

• vegan

• vegetarian

• + more!

  You can even shop my environmental and social issues, health concern, health certifications.. it’s seriously impressive and makes it so much easier to find brands that align with your standards!

Is the Membership Fee Worth It?!

In my experience, I would say it is well worth the cost of the membership. Not only do you save the equivalent (if not a LOT more) but there is so much convenience in having everything shipped straight to your doorstep. I have also found that they have a wide variety of really high quality brands that we end up loving! And the one single time I had an issue with my order, customer service was amazing and we got a refund for the product that arrived damage and then they credited my account with Thrive Cash to use on a future order.

I do wish they had a larger selection of perishables like other delivery services, but I am hoping they will eventually expand to offer that!

My Thrive Market Order

I typically order from Thrive market once a month or every other month- just depending on what all we need and how well our pantry and household items are in stock! But these are items we regularly purchase and love-

Snacks + Pantry Items

I love having quick, easy and nutritious snacks available for my family and Thrive Market is my GO TO for all the snacks! It’s also primarily what I use to source pantry items that we like to keep stocked.

Nutritional Yeast- this is a nutritional powerhouse that is not often talked about enough. I use this on rice, chicken, in soups, or even just sprinkled on salads. It has got a cheesy/ nutty flavor and is packed with B vitamins. This bag lasts us for months.

Teas- I love hot tea. And Thrive Market carries some of my favorite organic versions! Ginger turmeric, Hibiscus, Red Raspberry Leaf, Mint, you name it. We always keep these stocked in our pantry. In this order I got two boxes of the Ginger Turmeric while it was on sale!

Trace Mineral Drops- i previously had bought these off of Amazon before I realized they were several dollars cheaper per bottle on Thrive! So now I have that as part of my regular order.

Oysters- oysters are one of the most nutrient dense foods you can eat and I love incorporating them into my diet. I am not a fan of raw oysters, so I have found the best way for me to regularly get them into my diet is canned. And Thrive Market is the most affordable place I have found them!

Aloha Protein Bars- we love to have these on hand because they are a good on the go option, taste good, and have better ingredients than some other “protein bars” out there. My favorite flavor is the coconut chocolate almond while my husband’s is the peanut butter chocolate chip!

Organic Cinnamon- one of my favorite Thrive Market “hacks” is to purchase their bulk spices. I just fill up my glass cinnamon bottle that i’ve had forever and it is so much more affordable than buying a new bottle again and again.

Simply Tera’s Protein powder- This is one of the cleanest protein powders that you can get that actually tastes good! My husband mixes it in cold milk, but my favorite way to drink it is in heated up milk for a little protein hot chocolate drink- add some cinnamon on top or homemade marshmallows 😗🤌🏻

Solely Organic Fruit Jerky- This dried mango is so tasty! It’s the perfect on the go snack.

Lesser Evil Popcorn- We love the pink Himalayan salt flavor. Instead of being cooked in vegetable oil they use coconut oil! Seriously, the best popcorn i’ve ever had.

Yellowbird Blue Agave Sriracha- the best hot sauce without any weird preservatives or additives (granted, I am not a huge fan of really spicy things but occasionally like a little something. Sriracha is just about as much spiciness as i like 😅

Home + Cleaning Products

For years I used a popular non-toxic cleaning brand and really liked it. But I found it became another thing I had to order from a different company. So I was on a mission to find something that I could pickup from my local grocery store or one of the brands that Thrive Market carried.. again, this season of life i am all about convenience. 👏

Enter Rosey cleaning products. it is a Thrive Market exclusive brand and I have been impressed by their line of household cleaners. So far we have tried their dishwashing detergent pods, all purpose cleaner, toilet cleaner, dish and hand soap— and across the board I really like them! There is just one thing I haven’t loved- specifically the peppermint scent of their tub and tile cleaner. It just didn’t give me that fresh peppermint smell- instead it was a little musky?

After years of using unscented products it has been nice to find cleaning products that have a natural, clean scent without any artificial fragrances. My favorite scent in their line is the fresh lemon 🍋

Molly Suds Laundry Powder- I have been using this laundry powder for YEARS and feel. like it does a good job getting everything clean. The only thing I have noticed is that its not great at spot/stain removing. So I make sure to pre-treat stains with messy eater stain treater! It is the best stain remover I’ve tried (diaper blowouts, berry stains, toddler finger painting messes.. you name it).

For years I have used the unscented version but recently I tried the peppermint scented one and was really impressed. I was worried it was going to be too strong of a smell, but by the time I would pull our laundry out of the dryer it just had a very light fresh scent.

Bath + Body

Acure Shampoo and Conditioner (argan + pumpkin scent)- my faaaavorite smelling clean shampoo that actually leaves my hair feeling clean! Clean ingredients without being astronomically expensive like other shampoo companies i’ve tried.

3 in 1 Kids Soap- bubble bath, body wash, and shampoo combo 👏 my daughter likes it, it doesn’t flare up her eczema and it is so affordable. Also we use just a tiny bit per bath so the bottle last forever!

Makeup- I’ve shared my minimal makeup routine, so this is rarely something I have to purchase. But i’ll occasionally grab Well People products, or one of their other clean makeup brands!

(p.s. i don’t typically buy my deodorant from Thrive just because they don’t carry the brands I have found to actually work for me— you can read my blog post on my favorite clean deodorants here!)
