Conagra Brands Meals, Sides and Snack Products for 2024

New products combine convenience, elevated ingredients and flavor

CongAgra Brands Product Packages
March 27, 2024

Conagra Brands, Inc. showcased a diverse line-up of new meals, vegetable sides and snacks at Natural Products Expo West 2024. Drawing inspiration from top culinary trends and popular restaurant offerings, Conagra's latest arrivals combine quality ingredients, flavor, and convenienc

Product introductions include:

- Alexia: Alexia® continues to elevate the vegetable side dish experience, drawing on the brand's chef-founded roots and a commitment to quality ingredients. Within the value-added vegetables category, sauced and seasoned is the fastest growing behavior1, setting the stage for two new skillet sides and two new oven-roasted sides from Alexia.

- Brown Butter Green Beans: A sumptuous take on the No. 1 skillet prep vegetable2, green beans

- Hot Honey Carrots: With 40% menu penetration growth over the past year3, hot honey is the perfect accompaniment for the No. 2 skillet prep vegetable4, carrots

- Parmesan Truffle Broccoli: The No. 1 oven prep vegetable5, broccoli, meets an elevated parmesan truffle sauce

- Balsamic Brussels Sprouts & Carrots: A maple balsamic sauce offers the ideal finishing touch for this colorful blend of oven-roasted vegetables

- Blake's: Within the growing $5 billion-dollar frozen comfort meals category, Blake's® is the leader in better-for-you pot pie sales6. Now the brand's farm-to-table philosophy is extending to four new all-natural comfort food meals. Each includes a protein, starch and side.

- Country Fried Chicken: This classic American white meat chicken dish is covered in creamy gravy, and paired with roasted potatoes and seasoned green beans

- Homestyle Meatloaf: Another comfort food icon, savory meatloaf is topped with gravy, with sides of roasted potatoes and sweet corn

- Roasted Chicken: A creamy cheese sauce pairs perfectly with juicy chicken, accompanied by seasoned broccoli and cheesy rice

- BBQ Seasoned Pork: BBQ fans will love this braised pork with a tangy sauce. Cheesy pasta and sweet corn complete the meal

- evol: Celebrating flavorful ingredients presented with style, evol's® frozen meals deliver modern American recipes that are elevated yet approachable. Four new evol frozen meals take their cue from restaurant menus and offer a complementary protein, starch and vegetable.

- Hot Honey Chicken: A delicious hot honey glaze brings the heat, while the fried white meat chicken, sweet potatoes, and seasoned brussels sprouts satisfy your taste buds

- Garlic Herb Steak: A savory yet tender combination, garlic herb flavors the steak perfectly. Roasted potatoes and seasoned broccoli accompany the meal

- Chicken Adobo: This flavorful take on Mexican cuisine features juicy white meat chicken with a delicious red chili Adobo sauce, and sides of elote-style corn and cilantro rice

- Meatballs and Orzo: Savory meatballs are covered in a creamy tomato sauce and paired with fluffy orzo and seasoned green beans

- Frontera: The popularity of Mexican cuisine shows no signs of slowing. Among the most beloved menu items, frozen enchiladas have seen 6% sales growth over the past year with $278 million in sales7. Yet few offerings combine the convenience of frozen with restaurant-inspired recipes and ingredient.

The heritage of Frontera® is rooted in the restaurants created by chef Rick Bayless. Two new enchiladas reflect his passion for authentic, quality ingredients. Chicken Enchiladas with Chile Verde Sauce and Cheese Enchiladas with Red Enchilada Sauce are made with corn tortillas and filled with ingredients.

- Gardein: The Ultimate Plant-Based® collection from Gardein® continues to elevate the taste experience in plant-based, giving vegans, vegetarians and flexitarians numerous ways to enjoy their favorite dishes meat free.

- Ultimate Plant-Based Meatballs: These delicious, hearty meatballs with 19g of protein per serving are perfect for pasta, sandwiches and more

- Ultimate Plant-Based F'sh®: A plant-based way to enjoy fish and chips, each filet is 3 oz. and covered in a crispy panko breading

- Ultimate Plant-Based Bowls – Chick'n Fried Rice: The latest addition to Gardein's popular line-up of single-serve bowls features one of the category's fastest-growing flavors. Ingredients include Gardein's plant-based Chick'n, rice, peas, carrots and a savory sauce

- Purple Carrot: A pair of new single-serve bowls from Purple Carrot® show that 100% plant-based meals can still be 100% delicious. Dollar-sales growth of vegan single-serve meals has grown 11% since 20208. While top-trending Asian flavors are leading overall frozen single-serve meal growth, the plant-based category is underrepresented. Purple Carrot's two debuts are designed to satisfy the need.

- Vegetable Tikka Masala: A classic Indian dish featuring roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, red bell peppers and sweet peas over farro and brown rice with a tikka masala sauce

- Sweet & Sour Cauliflower: A quintessential Asian-style sauce made with pineapple ginger, topping cauliflower, edamame, red bell peppers and carrots over farro and brown rice
