Roasted, salted nuts - are they that bad or is there still some goodness?

Yeah, they have some levels of toxins in them, but better roasted nuts than beef jerky you know? And juice concentrate, while it's not great for you, may be a cheap and easy option for gaining weight…

Severely Aching Joints?

I think many people accept too many symptoms as "detox." I do not mean to cause alarm, but I would suggest you go see a doctor for such pain. There may be underlying causes unrelated to detox. It may…

How can I put on weight following Thrive?

Hi Nat, Yes I would say grains and fat are a good and quick way to put on weight. Fruit juice should be limited in those looking to lose weight or maintain at a low calorie level, but up to about 4 g…

Very comprehensive! I would add that a healthy pinch of salt really brings out the flavors in a soothie. Also I add xanthum and guar gum to my smoothies for a thick, rich, fluffy texture.

I have also found that wax paper or parchment paper work well for storing individual bars, which makes it convenient to "grab & go".

Jvegegirl replied to Magnus Lundstedt's discussion 'Professional Athlete, Supplement with food allergy'
Firstly, the Thrive diet does include cooked beans, grains, etc, so I'd say you're 100% Thrive and 80% raw :). Try some adaptogens. Maca is a good one to start, but tulsi, schisandra berries, and eleuthero will all help you too. You could also try…

So instead of giving just one recipe, I thought I'd write a post on how to build an awesome smoothie, totally customizable by component:



  1. The Liquid: Smoothies can be made with honestly any liquid you want.
