Natural Grocers Expands House Brand Frozen Fruit & Smoothie Blends

new organic fruit smoothies
Natural Grocers

 The fruit is harvested at peak ripeness, quickly frozen to preserve nutrients and flavor, and packaged without synthetic colors, preservatives, or added sweeteners.

February 2, 2026

Natural Grocers, the nation's leading family-operated organic and natural grocery retailer, has expanded its private-label offerings with five new Natural Grocers Brand Organic Frozen Fruits and Smoothie Blends, giving customers even more delicious, nutrient-dense ways to enjoy premium quality at an Always Affordable Price.

These new additions are available exclusively at Natural Grocers stores nationwide.

Natural Grocers remains steadfast in its commitment to organic integrity—from fresh produce displays to freezer door selections. Every fruit included in these new offerings is USDA certified organic and is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or conventional farming practices. The fruit is harvested at peak ripeness, quickly frozen to preserve nutrients and flavor, and packaged without synthetic colors, preservatives, or added sweeteners.

"Our Natural Grocers Brand Frozen Fruit is everything customers love about our produce department—high-quality, organic, flavorful—and perfectly suited for today's busy lifestyles," said Raquel Isely, vice president of marketing at Natural Grocers. "From bright, tangy berries to smooth, creamy mangoes and nutrient-packed greens in the smoothie blends, these products bring summertime anytime convenience to busy households."

Whether blended, baked, simmered, or sprinkled on top, fruit plays an important role in delivering dietary fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and natural sweetness without compromise. Natural Grocers' new frozen fruit varieties were created to deliver:

  •  Peak-season fruit with maximum flavor from raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, peaches, and bananas.
  • Clean, simple ingredients — just fruit. No added sugar. No fillers.
  • BPA-free packaging that protects freshness.
