June Healthy Food Product Roundup: 5 Better-for-You New Finds to Try This Summer
Discover five new healthy food products a dietitian loved in June, from high-protein meals to clean condiments and functional snacks.
Every month I get the opportunity to try new products hitting grocery store shelves (and sometimes arriving right at my doorstep!). As a registered dietitian, I’m always looking for products that combine convenience with quality ingredients, balanced nutrition, and great flavor. While no single product makes or breaks a healthy diet, finding nutritious options that fit into real life can make eating well much easier.
This month’s roundup features several brands that are perfect for summer entertaining, quick lunches, afternoon energy, and healthier snacking. Whether you’re planning backyard cookouts, road trips, or simply looking for new products to add to your weekly grocery list, here are five June favorites worth checking out.
Primal Kitchen Summer Favorites
Summer cookouts don’t have to mean sacrificing quality ingredients. Primal Kitchen continues to make some of my favorite pantry staples with avocado oil-based dressings, sauces, and condiments made with recognizable ingredients.
This summer they’re highlighting recipes that bring fresh flavor to classic barbecue favorites.
Some of my favorites include:
- Ranch Pasta Salad made with their No-Dairy Ranch Dressing for a creamy side packed with colorful vegetables.
- Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings that make an easy appetizer for family gatherings.
- Steak Fries with Special Sauce, featuring their Special Sauce and Unsweetened Ketchup for a better-for-you dipping option.
As a dietitian, I appreciate that Primal Kitchen focuses on ingredient quality while still delivering the flavors people expect at summer gatherings.
Neuro Watermelon Gum
If you’re looking for a little afternoon pick-me-up without reaching for another cup of coffee, Neuro’s new limited-edition Watermelon gum is a fun option.
Each piece contains:
- L-theanine
- B vitamins
- A lighter dose of natural caffeine
The combination is designed to support focus and sustained energy without the intensity of a full cup of coffee. It’s easy to keep in your purse, gym bag, or car for busy summer afternoons, road trips, or long workdays.
I especially like that it offers portion-controlled caffeine in a convenient format while adding a refreshing watermelon flavor that’s perfect for summer.
Gardencup Mike’s Hot Honey Chicken Bowl
Convenient lunches often get a bad reputation, but Gardencup continues to prove that ready-made meals can include fresh ingredients and solid nutrition.
Their newest Mike’s Hot Honey Chicken Bowl combines:
- Tender chicken
- Kale
- Cabbage
- Carrots
- Fresh vegetables
- Sweet and spicy hot honey flavor
The bowl also provides an impressive 30 grams of protein, making it an excellent option for supporting fullness and helping meet daily protein needs.
Beyond this new bowl, Gardencup also offers salads, soups, grain bowls, and snacks that make healthy eating more convenient during busy weeks.
Cedar’s Reserve Hommus
One of the biggest nutrition trends this year has been increased interest in ingredient transparency, and Cedar’s Foods has responded by earning Seed-Oil-Free Certification across its entire Reserve Hommus line.
Their premium Reserve varieties are made with olive oil and avocado oil and feature bold Mediterranean-inspired flavors including:
- Olive Tapenade
- Harissa
- Organic Reserve varieties
- Classic Reserve varieties
Whether you’re pairing hommus with vegetables, whole grain crackers, pita, or using it as a sandwich spread, it’s an easy way to add plant-based protein, fiber, and healthy fats to your meals.
I appreciate seeing brands continue to prioritize ingredient transparency while maintaining the creamy texture and bold flavors people love.
Lotza Functional Soda
Functional beverages continue to grow in popularity, and Lotza offers an interesting twist on traditional soda.
Each can contains:
- Adaptogens
- Electrolytes
- Antioxidants
- Real fruit ingredients
- Plant-based ingredients
With only 30–35 calories, 6 grams of sugar, and no caffeine, it’s designed for social occasions without relying on excessive sugar or stimulants.
Flavors include:
- Citrus Smash
- Wild Berry Burst
- Tropical Twist
Whether enjoyed on its own or used as a mixer, Lotza offers a lighter beverage option for summer gatherings.
