All the information you ever wanted about creatine monohydrate 💪🏼 can be found on our website!!

Check out our new page (link 🔗 in bio)
"The Science of Creatine - A Complete Guide"

This page takes a deep dive into how creatine works, its physical and cognitive benefits, and the best type of creatine.

Joe has had a long standing interest in the effects of creatine and creatine supplementation. This past spring, he wrote his university dissertation on the effects of creatine monohydrate supplementation on cognitive performance.

He has also worked on numerous projects examining its effects on athletic performance. This guide includes much of what he has learned during this time, making it a one stop shop for scientific information on one of the most studied fitness supplements out there!

A tale of epic endurance and grit!! 🏔️

One of our brand partners and athletes Ryan Shea had the chance to run through the Swiss Alps and to race in the Eiger Ultra. Being primarily a road runner and enjoying the marathon distance, Ryan spent some time hitting the trails around his hometown of Alliston Ontario in preparation for this endeavour.

Not being able to come close to matching the type of elevation he would reach in Switzerland, a series of hill repeats and looking for the steepest climbs he could find was the best that he could do.

Using poles for the first time and realizing that he wouldn’t be able to run all of the climbs were things that Ryan had to get used to. Surprisingly, the elevation didn’t seem to affect him all that much and in turn he was happy with his 76th place finish of approximately 750 people in the 33k event (which had over 2300m of elevation gain) and 11th in his age group.

Ryan incorporates twice weekly heavy strength sessions into his regime in order to help keep his body healthy. He ensures adequate protein and carbohydrate intake and incorporates Thrive chocolate plant based protein, greens, and creatine into his daily post run smoothie. He also winds down in his hot tub each night and straps on his normatec compression boots each night when trying to counter the 110-140km per week that he will put in during peak training.

Ryan is also a physiotherapist and owner of South Simcoe Physiotherapy. He enjoys treating runners of all ages and skill levels, and also enjoys teaching other physiotherapists how to most effectively treat the running population through a course he co-founded called the Real Running Course. Ryan also enjoys coaching runners who are looking to achieve their goals and remain healthy during their training cycle.

Feel free to reach out to Ryan through South Simcoe Physiotherapy or

Way to go, Ryan! Such a huge inspiration!

We've been asked if we own any other clothing other than our Thrive tops...I guess we must wear them pretty often!

Wearing them is a reminder of why we started in the first place — to make supplements we’d be proud to use ourselves. No shortcuts, no unnecessary fillers or artificial ingredients, just products we trust for our own health and performance.

Our business has grown into something we get to share with so many others who value the same things we do, and we proudly wear it right on our shirt (almost😂) every day 🙌🏻 !

Rapid growth is what everyone is chasing when they start a business, right?

But believe it or not, it comes with all kinds of unforeseen challenges! We are extremely grateful that we went from just a few orders a month in our first month of operation to sometimes 100 in a day!

With the time it takes to produce our products, we have been playing catch up since things started taking off, and we've had to order large quantities of product well in advance - before we sold the product we already had!

Without the help from Joe's dad Paul (pictured) we would be in a tough spot - it takes lots of capital to keep up with order production, and Paul has been our biggest supporter so we could keep on top of placing orders when needed.

We feel like we are finally almost caught up once we get our next shipment of whey protein, and we've also been able to bring new flavours of products out and develop entirely new products because of his help!

Shoutout to Paul for helping out the family business 📢 and to all of our continued supporters. We appreciate you!

Who craves iced coffee in the summer? 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏽‍♂️

With an increase in outdoor activity for a lot of people in the summer, chances are you're logging a few more steps, maybe getting in a couple extra high quality workouts, and making the most of the beautiful weather.

The great thing about our plant based iced protein coffee is that you can still reward yourself with a yummy summery beverage without compromising your recovery from your workouts! ☕ 💪🏽

Made from real freeze-dried coffee beans, providing a natural source of caffeine (62.5mg per serving) and a blend of plant based proteins for a balanced amino acid profile and loads of BCAAs, this is your go-to for a post-workout energy boost, kick-starting your recovery.

With only 120 calories, 0g sugar and 22g of plant based protein, it's the perfect way to stay healthy by avoiding the iced coffees loaded with sugar and cream, while getting all the benefits of a protein shake at the same time.

We love it mixed with 75% water and 25% plant based milk, topped off with a few ice cubes.

Reward yourself after your workout today!

What an epic comeback! When we brought on as a sponsored athlete, she was pregnant - Brit stayed super fit throughout her pregnancy and just over a year ago, she had her son!

A multi-sport athlete, Brit trained hard for the last year postpartum, and her hard work and determination paid off!

Brit placed 14th overall between men and women in the Xterra Off-road Triathlon in Sudbury (Conquer the Crater)

It was a world qualifier for Xterra Off-road Championships and World Off-road Triathlon - and Brit qualified! How amazing!

Brit, we are so proud of all you've accomplished and all you do to promote Thrive - a huge congratulations from all of us!

Piña Colada Greens have officially arrived!!! Refresh by the poolside this summer with all the healthy benefits 🍍 🥥!

Last year Patrick decided to get off the couch and get back into road cycling. He set a target to train for the Tour de Brisbane, a 120km UCI Gran Fondo qualifier race. The goal was to finish the distance, with a stretch goal to complete it under 4hrs.

From August 2024 to April 2025 Patrick followed a Garmin training program, ramping up to 7-10 hours on the bike per week, runs with the family and some additional strength training. Nutrition was super important; so there was protein and greens in every post-ride smoothie. Hydration on the bike was critical for any ride over 1 hour.

Race day brought out tough conditions with intermittent rain and strong headwinds. Mt Cootha was a category 3 climb thrown in to hurt the legs at the half way mark. However the training and nutrition plan paid off! Patrick completed the race in 3hrs 49min, with an average speed of 31.1km/h and setting PBs for his 1hr and 2hr power output.

That's why Patrick is jumping for joy that we've released the new flavour!

Family owned, family run.

Our entire business is operated by a small team consisting of Joe Clark, Gillian House and James House. This allows us to take great care with your orders, providing excellent customer service and a personal touch!

We decided not to out-source anything in our daily operations because we wanted to keep the order fulfillment process simple - from our home to yours! We ship orders Monday-Friday, and work hard to get them out as quickly as we can.

You might see James or Gillian out and about doing local deliveries, but much of the work occurs behind the scenes. We have a great relationship with the local couriers and postal workers whom we see each day for parcel pickups, and loads of local support from customers and retailers.

We can't wait to keep expanding and growing further while still keeping our operations in-house!

What makes our plant based protein stand out?

🇨🇦With 24g of protein per 32g scoop, our plant based protein powder is the purest vegan protein powder available in Canada.

💪🏻 It's packed with 4.8g of BCAAs to optimize muscular recovery and growth and is made from 100% clean and natural ingredients.

🙌🏻We wanted pure plant-protein, with extremely low carbohydrate, and fat, no added sugar and only 130 kcals. The macro split was important to us and there wasn't anything comparable on the market! It's also naturally sweetened with stevia leaf.

We've tried them all, and there are so many reasons why our plant based protein comes out on top.

Make sure you check out our blog on our website so you can compare top brands side by side for metrics such as protein content, ingredient quality, taste, value and more, and you'll quickly see why we think we've created something special ✨.
