Day 3

Survive 2 Thrive Review
Day 3

Breakfast was fantastic, lunch was good, dinner was fantastic.

For breakfast today, I really treated myself. In addition to the food from the Survive 2 Thrive pail, I also have organic eggs, organic butter, and a little bit of organic yogurt. I had no coffee, tea, or alcohol today.

For lunch, I just reheated some of the black beans and quinoa (AKA bear scat), some organic baby spinich with organic olive oil, and apple cider vinegar dressing,  and had an enerfood drink with FPP and Immune Option. (did not tape it)

For dinner, I had lentils, baby spinach, 2 eggs, and 1/4 lb of organic grass fed beef, seasoned with Cajan spice and Tabasco.


I combined the breakfast and dinner video into one tape - 11:07 minutes.




I would estimate my calories today at well below 3000. Total cost for the day - including pancakes, beans, quinoa, spinach,  beef, eggs, yogurt, and butter... $9.00 - Absurdly cheap. Don't tell me it is too expensive to eat only organic. This was a splurge day. Yesterday's total was under $6.00! I don't know about you, but I can certainly afford $6.00 a day for food. But I suppose if one wanted to create the same ingredients using conventionally grown foods, it would cost about 1/2 as much. So if money is tight, one could eat for around $3.00 a day, and still get all their nutrition. To be honest, if this pail of food was my last food, I could easily make it last 60 days. And there is no way that a child could eat a full portion. I would guess that a family of four (with two pre-teens) could easily get by with two pails for 30 days. That would put the average cost per day at $4.25 per person. That is affordable even to someone with a part time job. In fact, I would lay odds that most families I know spend way more than that. So even if that family supplemented with fresh veggies, grass fed beef, butter, and eggs - the would still get meals for under $6.00 per day.

Based on that alone, I would suggest that anyone who is spending more that $6.00 per day for food, that this is affordable. Well balanced, nutritious, vegetarian, delicious, and a great way to SAVE money. Food prices will likely double this year. If one were to buy a few of these and put them away, it might be one of the best investments that they ever made.
