Kroger Stocks Six New Items for June 2026, From Asado Chicken to Mango Water Drops

Private Selection Pollo Asado Chicken Thigh

Kroger's upscale Private Selection line brings a fully seasoned pollo asado chicken thigh to the meat case at $10.00. The pre-marinated thigh shorts the prep work, cutting down on common cooking mistakes. Kroger suggests shredding the cooked meat for tacos or burritos. It also pairs neatly with the Simple Truth rice blend, giving a high-protein dinner with no marinating step. The thigh offers a flavorful alternative to plain chicken breast for a fast weeknight meal.

Private Selection Lemon Parmesan Salad Bowl with Chicken

The grab-and-go salad bowl packs 23 grams of protein into a $5.00 package. A shredded cabbage-and-carrot slaw sits under white-meat chicken, with abundant Parmesan cheese and leafy green lettuce. The lemon dressing brightens the mix. Designed for lunchboxes, it needs zero assembly and stays fresh in a fridge. For anyone who wants a filling midday meal without effort, this bowl undercuts the price of most deli counters while delivering a clean, veggie-forward option.

Simple Truth Protein Garlic Brown Rice and Quinoa with Chia Seeds

This $3.29 packet blends brown rice, quinoa, and chia seeds into a side dish with more protein than an egg per serving. Certified organic and gluten-free, it answers the problem of starchy sides that are nutritionally empty. The garlic seasoning works as a base for burrito bowls or alongside lean protein and vegetables. Quinoa's higher protein content—about 8 grams per cooked cup—makes this a filling starch option for meal prep.

Bakery Fresh Patriotic Chocolate & White Mini Cupcakes

As the U.S. approaches its 250th birthday, Kroger's bakery case adds these $8.99 mini cupcakes with red, white, and blue sprinkles. The pack includes both chocolate and vanilla cake, each topped with buttercreme icing. Bite-sized portions let guests sample both flavors without committing to a full slice. The patriotic presentation fits naturally on a July 4th dessert table alongside pulled pork and sides.

Kroger Frosted Cookies and Crème Toaster Treats

At $2.49, these frosted toaster pastries mimic the look of a brand-name treat that rhymes with 'Schmop Parts.' The cookies-and-creme filling leans into nostalgic Saturday-morning-cartoon territory. Though not a high-fiber breakfast, it delivers the sweet icing and crumbly crust that defined childhood breakfasts. The Kroger version undercuts the national brand's price by a dollar or more per box, making it an easy pantry addition for a weekend treat.

Kroger Vitamin Tropical Mango Water Enhancer

This $2.49 bottle of liquid drops turns plain water into a tropical mango drink with a boost of B-vitamins. A few drops into a water bottle or a Stanley tumbler adds flavor without sugar-heavy syrups. The B-vitamin blend supports energy metabolism, making it a convenient way to vary hydration during hot summer days. The mango flavor offers an alternative to plain water for those who struggle to hit their daily intake.
