Momofuku

Noodle Variety Pack

David Chang expanded his Momofuku brand beyond restaurants, and entered the packaged goods space with a bang. These noodles couldn’t be easier to make (and zhuzh up if you’re looking for some extra flavor) – and they really couldn’t taste better. We love brands that elevate the everyday, which is why Momofuku earns an A+ from us.

Honey Mama’s

Classic Variety

$54

You don't forget where you were the first time you tried Honey Mama's. There's something about the combination of dark cocoa, raw honey and smooth coconut oil that's truly transcendent, and there's no better way to indulge than with their 9-flavor variety pack. From the Tahini Tangerine flavor to the Coffee Nib Crunch, or even good-old-fashioned Chocolate Cake, there's something for everyone here.

Poppi

The Classics

$29.99
$29.99
Code:

Poppi seeks to improve gut health with a dose of apple cider vinegar (which has been used historically to improve immunity, digestion and skin) in every can. Poppi uses unfiltered ACV in their formula, meaning each can contains the “mother” of vinegar, plus polyphenols and prebiotics. They're also incredibly delicious and have become the go-to soda alternative for TikTok girlies everywhere.

Ghia

Lime & Salt

Code:

When it comes to non-alcoholic beverages, there's arguably no bigger name than Ghia: the chic, herbal aperitif that took the influencer world by storm upon launch. With hits of fresh yuzu and rosemary, this spritz seriously sings — and the Lime & Salt flavor is *chef's kiss.*

Maiz Totopos Corn Tortilla Chips Mix

$36/3 pack
$36/3 pack
Code:

Credit: Siete

Siete products use high-quality ingredients to deliver "salud y sabor" – health and flavor – from grain-free tortilla chips to totopos made from organic corn. We're huge fans of the latter: all three flavors are delicious, and we especially appreciate the oversized shape that ensures even the broken chips are still satisfying.

Brightland

The Artist Capsule

$150
$150
Code:
Copy Icon
Credit: Brightland

Food can be poetry, and a drizzle of good olive oil on the right dish is nothing short of an artistic statement. Brightland's Artist Capsule runs with that theme, enlisting four cross-disciplinary artists to design labels for four of their crowd-favorite infused oils: Ardor (chili), Rosette (garlic), Lucid (lemon) and Arise (basil). The spicier oils are fab with pizzas and noodles, while the lemon oil adds a whole new layer to desserts.

Code:

Dedicated to introducing Americans to the convenience, nutritional benefits, and deliciousness of shelf-stable seafood, Fishwife leans on ethical sourcing and cute branding to capture part of the growing tinned fish market. With offerings like Smoked Rainbow Trout), Wild-Caught Smoked Albacore Tuna, and Wild-Caught Sardines in Extra Olive Oil + Preserved Lemon, the female-founded brand introduces conservas to American eaters in a deliciously-fun way.

Graza

"Drizzle" & "Sizzle" Extra Virgin Olive Oil

$37
$37
Code:
Copy Icon
Credit: Graza

We love that Graza sells two different oils for two different uses: one for things like dressing your salad and one you can heat up in your skillet. The Drizzle and Sizzle set, packaged in easy-to-use squeeze bottles, is everything your kitchen has ever wanted. Graza Drizzle is made from younger olives harvested earlier in the season, making for a grass-green, peppery oil, while the Sizzle comes from more mature olives whose juice has a subdued flavor and higher smoke point.

It's no secret that we love Thrive Market. The online brand offers the best in high-quality, non-GMO, and sustainable groceries, at discounted prices that put Whole Foods to shame. With fast, carbon-neutral shipping on every order, and the cost of each annual membership sponsoring access to a family in need, shopping through Thrive is as beneficial as it is convenient.
