Urban Remedy Celebrates the Food is Medicine Philosophy Every Day

New Nationwide Organic Food and Beverage Launches to Advance the Mission that Food is Healing

(September 14, 2026) Port Richmond, CA: Urban Remedy, the award-winning leader in certified organic, freshly prepared ready-to-eat meals, snacks, and cold-pressed juices, is celebrating National Food Is Medicine Day, which falls annually on September 14, by launching new functional food and beverage products nationally. Guided by the belief that Food Is Healing, Urban Remedy offers organic, ready-to-eat foods and beverages crafted to be nourishing, delicious and convenient, and thoughtfully made with minimally processed, plant-forward ingredients. This philosophy has been the foundation of the brand since its inception and rooted in the belief that what we put into our bodies can have a profound impact on how we feel, function and live each day.

In addition to its grab and go kiosks stocked with an assortment of over 40 clean, healing organic ready to eat foods, Urban Remedy is expanding with several newly available products with functional benefits that are now available nationwide to support and encourage daily wellness:

• The UR Calmer Wellness Shot — NEW. A new daily wellness shot created to support a sense of calm and balance.  It combines 80 mg of magnesium bisglycinate and 50 mg of L-theanine to help support focus, mental clarity and restful sleep.  Blended with fresh pressed juicy organic blood orange, orange, pineapple and lemon, it delivers a bright citrus flavor in every sip.  

• Blissful Belly Bowl — Now Available on the East Coast.  A delicious bowl designed to satisfy hunger and nourish gut flora. This robust and colorful meal combines kale, quinoa, chickpeas, vegan cashew cheese and miso dressing with a tangy Golden Sauerkraut and a refreshing Red Beet and Cabbage Kraut, both fermented for naturally occurring probiotics that promote digestive health and strengthen your immune system.  

• Matcha Energy Bar — Launching Nationwide This Fall.  This “OG favorite” Matcha green tea bar curbs hunger with 9g of protein, 3g of fiber and only 6g of sugar, and is made with healthy fats and caffeine to boost energy levels and burn calories throughout the day.  Made from cacao butter, matcha powder, coconut, cashews, almonds, seeds, a hint of cinnamon and a blend of greens, this plant protein bar doubles as a Paleo-friendly meal replacement or an energizing snack. Currently available in California, Urban Remedy’s Matcha Energy Bar will soon be available to consumers across the country. 

“Food Is Healing has been at the heart of Urban Remedy from the beginning, and we are proud to live this philosophy every day of the year,” shared Neka Pasquale, Founder and Chief Product Officer of Urban Remedy. “Our goal is to make nutritious everyday wellness more accessible through delicious foods and beverages nationally. We are especially excited to take products to national distribution as it's a direct request we’ve had from our consumers, and we are excited to make healthy options more accessible.”
