November Specials

What? I can still eat my favorite recipes!!!

One of the most exciting things about using THRIVE products is that whether we're having to rely on our food storage to eat or we're using it as a convenience, I know my family can keep eating some of our favorites recipes. One of our current favorites is the Baked Creamy Taquitos from Our Best Bites. I was so happy to find a way to adapt the recipe to use my THRIVE products and knew I had to pass it along to you to try out.

October Q-pon: Monterey Jack Cheese

The October Q-pon is for Monterey Jack Cheese. If you are a Q-club member you can add it to your shipment this month and save. The freeze dried cheese is a great addition to your food storage because it has a 20 year shelf life and it last for 2 years once opened. It is easy to reconstitute and melts deliciously into any dish.

What is TVP?

THRIVE sells a product called TVP, and I am often being asked "what is that?" TVP stands for Textured Vegetable Protein and it is an easy and affordable way to store protein in your food storage. TVP is a soy product that is high in protein and fiber and low in fat. There is no meat in TVP whatsoever.

TVP is easy to rehydrate. Just add TVP to boiling water and simmer for 5-10 minutes. TVP is a great source of protein to take camping because it is lightweight and easy to reconstitute. 1 oz. of TVP is equivalent to about 3 oz. of meat. After it is rehydrated, TVP should be treated like meat and refrigerated.

THRIVE sells a variety of TVP products, including beef, chicken, sausage, bacon, ham and ready to eat meat like sloppy joes and tacos. They all come in #10 cans and pantry cans, and some come in pouches. They are very affordable compared to the price of fresh meat.

My personal favorite is the Taco TVP. If you've ever eaten tacos at a fast food restaurant, there's a good chance you've had TVP. The flavor is great, it's easy to use, and it's affordable. In my everyday cooking, I like to use it as a meat extender and add it to my ground beef when making tacos. It makes my ground beef last longer and it adds a nice flavor to my tacos. It also tastes good serving it on Fritos.

Hosting A Party

Hosting a THRIVE party in your home is an excellent way to experience THRIVE first hand. Here are 5 reasons why you should host a party:

5 REASON YOU SHOULD HOST A THRIVE PARTY

1. Experience the wonderful taste of THRIVE foods right in your home with friends and family. the food really sells itself, and being able to taste before you buy will convince you how good it is.
2. Learn how to become self reliant by building, storing, rotating and using your THRIVE food storage.
3. Get lower prices than ordering directly through the website.
4. Earn additional benefits from the sales you help generate. You will get 10% of party sales in free product!
5. Help feed the hungry - a percentage of all sales goes to the charity Thriving Nations.

The best part of hosting a THRIVE party are the host benefits!!! As a hostess, you earn 10% of party sales in free product. And for each party booked off your party, you will earn $100 item at half price. Product sales add up fast, since any Q that is created off your party is multiplied times 3. So if you have a customer set up a Q of $100 (or if you set up your Q at your party or a previous party), then you would start earn $300 in party sales. That's $30 in free product from just one Q.

So, why wait, plan one today. You'll enjoy a night with friends, tasting great foods, end getting started on the road to being self reliant.

The THRIVE Q

The THRIVE Q...this is what makes THRIVE so affordable and easy. Basically it consists of 3 steps:

1. CREATE A CUSTOM FOOD PLAN
You add basic information about your family and the Q Planner will automatically generate a plan made specifically for your family. You can customize it to add more of certain items or less of others, and then you let it do the rest of the work.

2. SET A MONTHLY BUDGET
Determine how much you want your monthly budget to be. Simply reallocate a portion of your grocery budget to the THRIVE Q and you will be able to build your home store without increasing your monthly budget.

3. ORDERS SHIP TO YOUR HOME
Each month on a designated date your orders will be processed and sent directly to your door. You can let the Q do all the work and decide what you get out of your plan, or you can customize the months shipments to be what you want at that time.
