As we enter into warmer weather, picnics will be more frequent, which means picnic foods. From fresh fruit and crackers to burgers, sandwiches…the list goes on. My personal favorite is a veggie burger paired with fresh vegetables, a toasted bun, and a side of some classic potato chips. Nothing more nostalgic than that.
O Organics® and Open Nature® products, found exclusively at Safeway and Albertson stores, make it easy for you to enjoy delicious, plant-based, healthy products while on-the-go.
What I love most about Safeway stores is their line of organic, affordable products, specifically from the Open Nature and O Organics line. Open Nature products are filled with simple ingredients and free from 110 food additives like artificial flavors. I am all about sustainability and Open Nature has biodegradable and compostable products. O Organics is USDA certified organic and much more affordable than leading organic brands.
I buy my O Organics and Open Nature products at my local Safeway stores, and you can also find them exclusively at the Albertsons Companies family of stores, including ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Shaw’s, Star Market, United Supermarkets and Carrs/Safeway. Visit jewelosco.com to find a store near you and discover meal prep tips and recipe ideas.
Albertsons Companies Family of stores also offers Grocery Delivery and Drive Up & Go™ for convenient ways to shop! Perfect for contactless pick-up.
O Organics Patties can be prepared simply by cooking them in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side till golden brown and crispy. They are also grill-friendly! They have a selection of patties, including Mushroom & Veggie (veg), Black Bean & Veggie (veg), Sweet Potato & Veggie (veg), and Quinoa & Kale (vegan).
Top them with your favorite burger toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, red onion, and avocado. To elevate these burgers top with a creamy smoked garlic aioli that is included below.
The creamy smoked garlic aioli is made with a few simple ingredients, including cashews, O Organics Almondmilk , garlic, lemon, maple syrup, smoked paprika, and black pepper. All ingredients are blended until thick and creamy. Compared to other brands of non-dairy milk, the O Organics Almondmilk is more affordable and provides a smooth texture to the sauce, without a high-water dilution.
If you are preparing these for a picnic, Open Nature provides a wide range of compostable products, including cutlery, plate ware, drinkware, and more. Open Nature Compostable Plates are the perfect addition to your summer picnic. They are not prone to easy breakage and are 100% compostable made with clean, minimally processed ingredients.
