When I’m adding items to my grocery cart for the week, I always turn to Nature’s Promise products I can trust. There’s nothing to hide—I can feel good about feeding my family and be more intentional with my grocery list. The best part? I don’t have to choose between affordability and quality when Nature’s Promise consistently delivers on both. My local store is always stocked with the best organic produce, after-school snacks, and weeknight meal makers that I love to use from Nature’s Promise. Here are some of my favorites.
Nature’s Promise® Organic Kombucha
Not only does Nature’s Promise® have a line of seltzer flavors I adore, like berry, blood orange, and black cherry, but the brand also has my favorite kombucha. This fizzy fermented drink is made from black or green tea, and I rely on it as an afternoon pick-me-up. My favorites include pineapple passion fruit, blackberry vanilla, and raspberry lemon ginger. I drink them on their own, but if I’m feeling fancy, I’ll make a mocktail, like this Citrus Kombucha Mocktail or Cucumber Lemon Kombucha Mocktail.
Nature’s Promise® Precooked Rice
Sometimes I want brown rice with dinner, but I don’t have 45 minutes to spare. Ready in 90 seconds in the microwave, this precooked pantry staple always saves the day for fast recipes like Celery and Spicy Chicken Stir-Fry or Pork and Spinach Stir-Fry. The cooked grains come in a variety of options like jasmine, basmati, or brown rice and quinoa. These packets also help me extend leftovers, like transforming meat from Green Chili Pork into burritos with the help of canned black beans and the deliciously flavorful Nature’s Promise Organic Cilantro Rice.
Nature’s Promise® Organic No Salt Added Black Beans
Speaking of beans, when I need black beans, I love using the Organic No Salt Added Black Beans. I especially rely on these when turning leftovers into another meal or school lunch, like quesadillas or the above-mentioned burritos. The convenient shelf-stable cans are perfect for tossing into a salad or enjoying as a satisfying side. I love the no-salt-added option, so I can season them however I like!
Nature’s Promise® Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage with Kale
One of my favorite sausages, Nature’s Promise Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage with Kale, is brimming with savory flavor. Kale is listed as the second ingredient behind pork, and this is perhaps the only way my daughter will eat the leafy green! I’ll usually cook it on its own, add it to soups like Sausage Tortellini Soup with Kale, or crumble and toss it into a pasta, like Creamy Rotini with Sausage and Kale. I also remove the meat from the casings and roll them into the easiest mini meatballs ever for pasta or soup.
Nature’s Promise® Organic Salted Caramel & Dark Chocolate Granola
My entire family is a fan of the Nature’s Promise Organic Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate Granola, which tastes indulgent thanks to the dark chocolate, almonds, and salted caramel flavor. We love to swirl raspberry or strawberry preserves into plain Greek yogurt and then top with this salty-sweet granola for an easy breakfast or afternoon snack. Sprinkle the granola on a tropical smoothie bowl or bake it into Cranberry Crunch Muffins.
