Summer break is here, and if you’re already hearing, “I’m bored,” don’t worry. We’ve got tasty ways to keep the whole family entertained (and well-fed). Whether you’re hitting the road, staying close to home, or just trying to make the summer days a little more exciting, these food-focused activities are fun, easy, and built for summer, with a bit of help from Robért Fresh Market.
Road trip? Pool day? Picnic in the park? Build a snackle box! Grab a tackle-style container with multiple dividers and fill it with a rainbow of goodies from our Produce and Grocery departments. Think fresh strawberries, blueberries, carrot sticks, cucumber slices, dried mango, trail mix, cheese cubes, nuts, and crackers. Let the kids assemble their own, and they can even work with a theme, like colors. What about a Taylor Swift “Red”-themed Snackle Box, or picking one item to represent the colors of each of Marvel’s Avengers?
Declare a Sauce Showdown and grab a few barbecue, teriyaki, or dipping sauces from our shelf. (We have an excellent selection of sauces — it’s a thing.) You can also try any of our refrigerated hummus flavors, street corn dip, or an in-house made dip like Better Cheddar. Pick up some chicken tenders, grilled shrimp, roasted veggies, or tortilla chips and let the family vote on their new favorites. It would be the perfect excuse for a low-stress dinner.
Ever tried spumoni or spearmint as flavors for frozen treats? Keep cool with a local frozen treat tasting! Scoop up pints from New Orleans’ favorite brands like Angelo Brocato, New Orleans Ice Cream Company, and Sno-Balls to Go. Divide into bowls and do a blind taste test to see if you can guess the flavor, or savor a scoop each day as a sweet summer ritual.

Turn your next grocery trip into a game with our Accent Item Scavenger Hunt! Accent Items are our own creations, made right here at Robért Fresh Market, using fresh ingredients and bold flavors. How many can your family track down in one visit? Which ones would you like to try?
Parents, this one’s for you. Take yourself on a local coffee tour without leaving your kitchen. Stock up on New Orleans favorites like PJ’s, French Truck, CoolBrew, French Market Coffee, Café du Monde, and more from our coffee aisle. Try them hot, iced, or cold-brewed and find your signature sip.
Summer break doesn’t have to mean snack monotony and marathon screen time. With a bit of imagination — and a lot of great local flavors — Robért Fresh Market can help make the season fun, tasty, and just a little easier for everyone!
The food is fresh. The fun is lagniappe!
