Thrive Market Food Delivery Snack Haul
On Live Lean Life vlog episode 023, I shared the process of placing my healthy snacks order from Thrive Market.
Well, within 4 days, our food has arrived.
To date, our experience with Thrive Market has been on point.
As busy parents, we love getting food delivered directly to our door.
Since Jessica and I are both entrepreneurs, we honestly don’t have as much time to go grocery shopping.
I’m sure you feel the same way.
That’s why we like getting our healthy snack foods delivered right to our door from Thrive Market.
Here’s what was inside the delivery box:
- Thrive Market Virgin Coconut Oil
- Julian Bakery Paleo Wraps, Turmeric
- New Primal Turkey Jerky
- Wonderfully Raw Dill Pickle Snip Chips
- Julian Bakery Paleo Pizza Crust Mix
- Navitas Naturals Cacao Nibs
- Coconut Secret Organic Coconut Aminos
- Jilz Gluten Free Mediterranean Crackerz
- Primal Kitchen Chipotle Lime Mayo With Avocado Oil
- Simply Organic Ground Turmeric Root
Honest Thrive Market Review Of Healthy Snacks
After receiving our Thrive Market order a few days ago, we’ve now had the chance to try all the items.
Here is an honest Thrive Market review recapping all of the of healthy snacks from our order.
This honest review will include staple food items that we plan on repurchasing, as well as few items that we definitely will not be buying again.
#1. Primal Kitchen Chipotle Lime Mayo With Avocado Oil Review
The first item on the list was Primal Kitchen Chipotle Lime Mayo With Avocado Oil.
It was actually really good.
After a few days, the container was half empty, since I’ve been adding approximately 1 tbsp to my eggs.
It’s also great as a condiment, as we’ve been adding it to our burgers.
This is going to be a reorder.
#2. Coconut Secret Organic Coconut Aminos Review
Coconut aminos is an item you don’t use everyday.
It’s a good alternative to soy sauce.
We’ve been adding it to our stir-fry meals.
This is going to be a reorder, however since it is not an everyday food staple, we won’t have to order it very often.
#3. Navitas Naturals Cacao Nibs
I add these cacao nibs to my Superfood Maca Powder Smoothie Recipe every single day.
This is going to be a reorder.
#4. Coconut Oil
You know we love our coconut oil.
I add it to make my coconut oil coffee recipe.
This is going to be a reorder.
#5. Jilz Gluten Free Mediterranean Crackerz
These Jilz Gluten Free Mediterranean Crackerz are delicious.
Jessica really likes them too.
They have tons of flavor from the herbs, a great aftertaste, and the actual consistency of a cracker.
When you eat it, you think you are eating a regular cracker, not a “health cracker” that tastes like cardboard.
10 crackers only contains 7 grams of carbohydrates, and there is no sugars.
These crackers are really good and definitely going to be a reorder.
#6. Julian Bakery Paleo Pizza Crust Mix
Next up is the Julian Bakery Paleo Pizza Crust.
We were going to go out for pizza on Saturday night, however we decided to use this paleo pizza crust to make pizza at home.
We used the following pizza ingredients:
- Mozzarella cheese
- Spinach
- Ground turkey
- Pineapple
- Red sauce
- Spices
- Julian’s Bakery Paleo Pizza Crust
The pizza crust made 6 pieces, which meant I got 4 pieces and Jessica got 2 pieces.
When it comes to pizza, my rule is I get as many pieces as I can fit on your plate.
Since I had a small plate, I could only fit 3 pieces of pizza, however I bent the rules this time and allowed stacking.
While Kyla was sleeping on Jessica on the bean bag chair, I delivered two slices of pizza to her.
Jessica’s unbiased opinion, “I’m impressed with that crust.”
After I gave it a taste, I agreed, the pizza gets a passing grade.
This was delicious and was probably Jessica’s favorite item from the order.
Score one for the pizza crust.
That is another win from our Thrive Market order.
This is going to be a reorder.
#7. Julian Bakery Paleo Wraps, Turmeric
We already ate all the Julian Bakery Paleo Wraps.
This is going to be a reorder.
With all those reorders, we did have two non-reorders.
#8. Wonderfully Raw Dill Pickle Snip Chips
The first non-reorder is the Wonderfully Raw Dill Pickle Snip Chips.
I love my dill pickle potato chip.
However in my opinion, this was not a dill pickle flavor.
They were kind of sweet tasting because one of the main ingredients is coconut.
We also found they were very crumbly.
Since the product name says chips, you expect it to be a chip, however it was more like a crumbly coconut flavor.
This is not going to be a reorder.
#9. New Primal Turkey Jerky
The other non-reorder food item was the turkey jerky.
The turkey jerky was okay, but it was little bit salty for my liking.
Based on the expensive price, there was also a tiny amount in the package.
This is not going to be a reorder.
Thrive Market Snack Food Review Recap
To recap, the majority of the item were good.

Today’s Workout Recap
I’m back for another workout at the Fit Athletic Club gym in downtown San Diego.
My warm up included mobility movements to lubricate the joints and get the blood flow pumping, as well as an explosive movement to get my central nervous system primed and ready to rock the workout.
When you start getting older, it’s important to treat your body better by allocating more time to mobility work.
This is why I created my 10 minute Live Lean Mobility follow along video program.
I’ve been focusing a lot more of my time on mobility and flexibility training to maintain my athleticism.
Mobility is one of the keys to maintaining your health over the long term, so make sure you are doing it as well.
A1. Walking Knee Hug To Spiderman Lunge With Overhead Reach And Hip Lift
The Walking Knee Hug To Spiderman Lunge With Overhead Reach And Hip Lift is an excellent dynamic warm up mobility exercise that warms up your entire body including your hips, hamstrings, quadriceps, glutes, back, and shoulders.
To get started:
- Contract your core to stabilize your body, then complete a knee hug by lifting your knee up, then grabbing your knee with both hands interlocked together, to pull your knee in further towards your chest.
- Hold this stretch for a brief moment, then lower your foot back to the ground as you lunge forward at an approximate 30 degree angle.
- Complete the spiderman lunge by lowering your hands to the floor on the inside of your front foot.
- Reach the inside extended arm overhead as you rotate your torso towards your front bent knee, and follow your hand with your eyes, then place it back on the floor.
- Lift your hips up into the air to feel a good stretch in your hamstrings, then step the back leg forward.
- Repeat with the opposite leg, then continue alternating legs.
A2. 10 Meter 4 Point Crouch Start Drill
The 10 Meter 4 Point Crouch Start Drill is an example of an explosive movement that can be used to prime and fire up the central nervous system before a strength workout.
To get started:
- Line up at the start line, then get into the 4 point crouch start by kneeling down and placing both hands on the ground behind the line, with your fingers pointing out.
- Raise your hips up, then explode out of the start by driving your feet through the ground and swinging your arms for momentum.
- Once you accelerate out of the starting position, gradually slow down within the 10 yards.
- Line up the same way on the other side and repeat.
I also completed the following two explosive exercises in superset format.
B1. Heavy Bag Side Kick
The Heavy Bag Side Kick is another athletic cardio based movement to reduce stress and spike your heart rate.
I use a heavy bag, but if you don’t have access to one, you can kick the air.
To get started:
- Get into a boxing stance with your dominant foot back, and fists up.
- Contract your core, rotate your hips and dominant leg, and kick the heavy bag or air.
- Get back into your boxing stance and repeat.
- Switch legs after you’ve hit your desired reps or time.
B2. Kettlebell Swing
The Kettlebell Swing is a fantastic total body exercise that primarily targets the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back.
The power to move the kettlebell is generated through the hips, the shoulders just guide the kettlebell during the swing.
To get started:
- With your feet slightly wider than hip-width, grab the kettlebell by the handles with both hands.
- Hinge at the hips, keeping your back flat, then thrust forward with your hips, squeezing your glutes hard as the kettlebell swings up and forward to approximately shoulder height with your arms extended.
- As the Kettlebell comes back down, push your hips back and maintain a flat back as the kettlebell swings safely between your legs.
- Repeat.
Pumpkin Patch With The Family
Since this was Kyla and Bruno’s first halloween, we had to do “the parent thing” and take them to the pumpkin patch for some photos and to pick out our pumpkin.
Keeping with the pumpkin patch theme, Jessica and I were both rocking the plaid.
To be honest, it seemed like everyone in the pumpkin patch was in plaid.
Based on the farm land scenery, this pumpkin patch was definitely not in the city.
Kyla had a good sleep in the car, however once we arrived, she had a little poop that needed to be taken care of.
After changing her into a clean diaper, we were all ready to see the pumpkin patch, until I saw the sign that said “Sorry No Dogs Allowed”.
Jessica and Kyla were just going to go in on their own, however I gave the owner a little bit of the Gouthro charm and talked him into letting Bruno in.
Now we can get that awesome family pumpkin patch photo and pick out our beautiful pumpkin.
“It’s a beaut Clark, it’s a beaut.”
