Thrive Frozen Nutrition began a decade ago, with the idea of disrupting the healthcare, senior care, and sports nutrition industries with nutritionally enhanced, real foods that are not only healthy, but also enjoyable to eat. These industries were ripe for change as many dietary supplements have unsavory taste or texture and often include a host of artificial or less desirable ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, palm oil and fillers. Dietitians actively look for products to support their nutritional strategies, are palatable to those in their care and are not wasted due to not being consumed. We launched Thrive Ice Cream in 2011 with the brand promise "Real Ice Cream. Real Benefits."​ Because of its appeal, ice cream is a natural fit for delivering nutrition to patients, seniors, athletes, and children. Each 6-ounce cup ocontains 9 grams of protein, 24 vitamins and minerals, 3 grams of natural fiber, and 4 active probiotics, including GenedonBC30, to support digestive and immune health. Thrive Ice Cream is gluten-free, certified kosher, Real Dairy certified, and low in lactose. It can be used as a meal supplement, snack or dessert, and is an appropriate nutritional tool for addressing a number of medical conditions like unintended weight loss, dysphagia, IBS, Crohns and colitis, dementia, wound care, and more. It enhances quality of life - most people prefer a cup of ice cream to a liquid supplement! In 2018, we launched Thrive Gelato. Like Thrive Ice Cream, our gelato is also nutritionally enhanced, contains high quality ingredients and packaged for smaller appetites in 4-ounce single-serve cups. In blind taste tests, people preferred Thrive Gelatos delicious flavors and creamy texture to a leading competitor. Its also very affordable for health systems, senior living facilities, collegiate sports programs, and schools looking for healthier options of favorite foods. Thrive invites you to put our products to the spoon test! Contact us for samples.

ChoiceLegal is a leading Nationwide medical record retrieval service provider for Insurance Companies and law firms. Medical records, and the need to acquire them prior to settling a liability, disability or workers compensation claims, is a fundamental function of insurance claims handling. Historically, this has been done by claims staff or defense counsel at great expense and requiring long lead times to complete. As an outsourcing partner, ChoiceLegal helps expedite this process at lower cost, more quickly and accurately than clients can do themselves. This allows you to focus on other critical case-related activities.
