Instant Milk
Basically, all other food storage milk is disgusting and Thrive Life is the only one worth storing. The end.
Seriously, this is one of the items that sets Thrive apart from other food storage companies. Their milk is AMAZING. Like, you can’t tell a difference. It’s 100% real milk. Even my teenagers can’t tell the difference (as long as they don’t see where it comes from! HA!)
I literally poured a glass for my teenage son and he drank the whole thing, no questions asked. I have never in my life heard of a powdered milk that tastes so good you can’t tell the difference between it and normal fresh milk.
I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS MILK ENOUGH! It is the only milk I would ever consider spending money on to store long-term. With a 25-year shelf life and free shipping over $99 if you choose the monthly delivery service option, this is an incredible investment!
At half off, it comes out to be $5.60 a gallon, which isn’t that much more than what normal milk costs from the store!

strawberry slices
If you love strawberries, you’ll love these!
They are bursting with flavor…a fan favorite, for sure!
These are also a great thing to purchase in a pantry can size to throw in a 72-hour kit for a snack. You can’t beat not having to rotate a snack food that your kids will happily gobble up for 25 years!

Mangoes
These are exactly what you’d expect and full of flavor! They aren’t chewy like the dried ones you get at the grocery store. You know the ones – covered in sugar and chew, chew, chew.
Light, airy, crunchy – great fruit snack.
4
cinnamon apple slices
These are seriously SO amazing. A great snack for any day of the week!
I dare you to eat just one handful.

Sweetened Cranberries
Cranberries are such a holiday fruit in my mind. But, I can also see mixing them up in a trail mix at any time of year.
They are definitely zingy and exactly what you would expect out of cranberries – they are sweetened, but not to the point of something like a Craisin. These definitely pack a punch!
These aren’t typically available year-round, so if you missed them during the holiday sales go ahead and grab some now if they’re on your wish list.
