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. Community collaboration ### Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan is committed to improving the health and well-being of the communities it serves. Through this collaboration, we aim to provide valuable resources that promote healthy living and support individuals in creating sustainable, nutritious eating habits. ## A challenge and an opportunity 129 M Americans have at least one health condition [CDC](https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2024/23_0267.htm) 80 % of these conditions can be prevented through lifestyle changes, including healthier eating habits [American Journal of Health Promotion](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0890117117705949) 34 M Americans don't have regular access to enough healthy food [Seaside Sustainability](https://www.seasidesustainability.org/post/food-deserts-in-america) ## Community collaboration 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. ### Coming together through food 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. ### Empowering our communities 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. ### Community partnerships ## Healthy swaps Make your next meal more affordable (and just as delicious) with these creative swaps: ### Instead of regular rice Try cauliflower rice! You'll eat more veggies without losing any flavor. ### Instead of tortilla chips Thinly slice cucumbers and sprinkle them with salt. Perfect with guacamole! ### Instead of
ice cream Blend frozen bananas and top them with dark chocolate. It’s a cheaper option and has less sugar. ### Instead of canned beans Get dried beans. Buying dried beans in bulk and cooking them at home is usually cheaper. - [**Instead of regular rice**\\ Try cauliflower rice!
