I have had people I know shop at Thrive. They like it. I go all over the internet buying different kinds of food products since most stores just don't carry everything I like. I try to find boxed/canned goods with 5 ingredients or less (not including salt or spices). The less ingredients, the healthier. And NotGolfer has it right. Alot of processed, ready to eat gluten foods will spike your blood sugar, like the ones I mentioned in my previous post. Now Banza (chickpea) pasta does have tapioca starch, but it only has 4 ingredients, one serving has 14 grams of protein (very good), and 8 grams of fiber, 3.5 Grams of fat and no saturated fat. So I don't care about the tapioca starch that much because I am getting so many other good things. Plus with protein and fiber, the starch gets absorbed much more slowly and doesn't spike fast like when you eat processed, empty calorie foods.
