Here's the recipe:

Thrive Superhero's Magic Power Dust

Ingredients:
1/4 cup Thrive FD Spinach
1/4 cup Thrive FD Broccoli
1/4 cup Thrive FD Red Peppers
1/4 cup Thrive FD Tomato Dices
1/4 cup Thrive FD Peas
1/2 cup Thrive FD Butternut Squash
1/2 cup Thrive FD Corn
1/2 cup Thrive FD Cauliflower
1/2 cup Thrive FD Mushrooms
1/2 cup Thrive FD Cheddar Cheese (optional)
3 T. Thrive Salad Blend Seasoning
3 Empty Thrive Seasoning Cans or other Shaker Container

Instructions:
Blend all the veggies and cheese until powdered in a food processor.  Add the Thrive Salad Blend Seasoning and hand whisk in.  Divide between 3 empty Thrive Seasoning Cans or other shaker container. This filled each of my 3 Thrive Seasoning Cans about 2/3 full.

Note:  You can use any combination of Thrive FD Veggies to make this.  Dehydrated Veggies did not become a powder in my food processor so I didn't use any of those.

Why Become a Thrive Life Consultant if I don't want to work the business now?

Why would I want to become a Thrive Life Consultant, 

if I'm not interested in building the business now?  

Good Question!   

I personally was a Thrive Consultant for almost 2 years before I decided to start working it as a business.

Let me give you a few reasons to consider:

1.  You can just eat your kit!  Each of the 3 kits contain a lot of Thrive product at a super bargain price that you can just eat yourself.  Click here to see what food is in each kit.  I've done the math and if you were to buy each food item/product separately at the retail price:

• $199 Consultant Starter Kit contains $133.77 (Retail) in Thrive Food.
• $289 Value Starter Kit contains $500.45 (Retail) in Thrive Food
• $579 Deluxe Start Kit contains $1,120.44 (Retail) in Thrive Product.  The same Thrive Food as in the Value Starter Kit along with 1 Harvest 72 Food Rotation Shelf AND 2-person Survival Pack

2.  Be the Hero with your Family & Friends.  Simply distribute the business literature that comes in your kit to family & friends who might be interested in buying Thrive.  When they decide to order, YOU can place the order for them and save them money.  AND you'll earn some extra spending money and some free stuff too!  How neat is that!

3.  You get the Q-Club automatically and it's FREE - no minimum $100 Q!  That saves you $79.99 and a yearly renewal fee right there.

4.  Get paid for doing YOUR shopping!  As a consultant, you earn free & 1/2 off products all the time!  Plus you get paid too!  So shop for gifts using Thrive and get paid for doing your Christmas/Birthday Shopping!

5.  No monthly sales minimums to pressure you.  As long as you have an active $50 Q or greater, you'll be considered an "active" consultant. It's the only requirement.

6.  Free food for your household!  Besides the host benefits you can earn, if you want a larger Q and more Thrive coming into your home each month, simply set up your spouse or other household member up on the Q and the commission you earn will help pay for it!

7.  Peace of Mind. If you are looking to be more self-reliant by building your home store and by extension your home storage, you will be on the fast track to accomplishing this by being a consultant and using all our consultant benefits.

I have personally experienced all these benefits and am very grateful that someone share this with me.  I would love to share them with you!  I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about this great opportunity!  Check out this previous post with a great introduction video

Directions:

Add Thrive Sweet Potatoes to boiling water in saucepan with lid.  Turn off heat and let sweet potatoes reconstitute in covered saucepan about 10 minutes.  DO NOT DRAIN.  Pour sweet potatoes with left over water into food processor.  Add buttermilk, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg & ginger.  Blend until smooth.  Put Thrive 10 Grain Pancake Mix into mixing bowl.  Add sweet potato mixture & 1/3 cup water.  Blend but don’t over mix.  If you want thinner pancakes, add additional water, a Tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly to desired consistency.

3/4 tsp. salt 3 T. brown sugar

2 tsp. baking soda 1 (15 oz) can Libby’s pure pumpkin

Directions:

In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and brown sugar, combining well.  Add pumpkin, buttermilk, and eggs to dry ingredients and mix gently. (If batter seems stiff, add water until it can be easily spooned onto a griddle.)  Heat griddle to medium heat and grease lightly.  Scoop about 1/3 cup of batter onto griddle and let cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Let other side cook again until lightly browned. Repeat these steps until all the batter is gone.
