A. WHERE DO I START?
Every party I have given in the last 16 months I have gotten this question. Do you think I have one universal answer to it? Do ya, well do ya? No. I don't. I always say to start with the 'basics' (whatever that means because it's very subjective, fudge brownies being a basic necessity to me). But NOW, haleluia, I have the universal right one single answer! 3 months on 'Smart Start' for the Q is THE place to begin... and here is why:
The THRIVE Smart Start Pack consists of three packages. Each package includes either 16 or 17 pantry cans of THRIVE foods and four pouches of THRIVE Express. The first package also includes the THRIVE Smart Start pack recipe booklet (with 26 recipes, 3 monthly meal planners, and 3 monthly shopping cards) and the THRIVE Smart Start flyer. We ship one package per month for a total of three packages over three months.
The Thrive Smart Start Pack is a combination of our new entrees with other pantry-size thrive foods in combinations to make recipes. There are 3 packs that you put in your Q one month at a time. Each month you will receive a "Smart Pack" with recipes for that pack.
