Healthy eating is for everyone — and it doesn’t have to be expensive. The Thrive Global Cookbook includes globally-inspired recipes, healthy swaps, and Microsteps to make healthy eating fun and achievable. By making small changes to what you eat, you can see big improvements in your daily life.
We partner with community-based organizations to empower individuals and communities with the knowledge, tools and access to make nutritious eating affordable and sustainable. By designing solutions in partnership and celebrating local role models who inspire healthy changes, we create ripple effects that support lasting impact.
In San Diego, Thrive’s Nutrition Director, Tess Bredesen, teamed up with the talented Kitchenistas from Olivewood Gardens and a dedicated apprentice from Kitchens for Good to test and prepare recipes at the Casa Familiar community kitchen, allowing us to capture the true essence of community-driven, nutritious cooking.
The Kitchenistas at Olivewood Gardens prepared one of the cookbook's recipes to share at their community-wide event, showcasing the power of food to bring people together. Through this collaborative effort, we are empowering communities to live healthier lives by making small changes that have a big impact.
Make your next meal more affordable (and just as delicious) with these creative swaps:
Try cauliflower rice! You'll eat more veggies without losing any flavor.
Thinly slice cucumbers and sprinkle them with salt. Perfect with guacamole!
Blend frozen bananas and top them with dark chocolate. It’s a cheaper option and has less sugar.
Get dried beans. Buying dried beans in bulk and cooking them at home is usually cheaper.
Our goal is for this cookbook to be accessible and easy for everyone to use. Please share your feedback on the Thrive Global Cookbook here.
