What’s New in Food This Month? Tinned Veggies, New Krispy Kreme Doughnuts & a 'Devil Wears Prada 2' Menu Takeover

Gird your stomach! Promotions for The Devil Wears Prada 2 are inescapable—and it doesn't just extend to fashion. The "Butter Birkin," aka AMC's souvenir popcorn bucket, went viral, but it's far from the only collab worth noting. Starbucks launched an entire secret menu devoted to the series' four core characters, Smartwater is selling cerulean bottled water at select Target stores and—speaking of that "lumpy blue sweater" from the original film—you can also snag an all-cerulean pack of M&M's...for free. How, you may ask? Visit mms.com/cerulean-blue on May 1 at 11 a.m. EST for your chance to grab one (quantities are limited, so fire up that tab early).

Just when you thought a classic Krispy Kreme doughnut couldn't get any better, the brand launches a limited-edition collaboration with Milk Bar. The chain and the James Beard-award-winning bakery reimagined three Milk Bar treats into doughnuts: a riff on the Compost Cookie, featuring chocolate chips, pretzel and potato chip bits and a caramel drizzle; a Milk Bar Pie Doughnut, with a buttery, pudding-like filling and powdered sugar-oat cookie topping; and the Milk Bar Birthday Cake Doughnut, a cake doughnut topped with frosting, cake crumbles and sprinkles.

Of the three, the salty-sweet Compost Cookie Doughnut was my favorite. It struck the best balance of flavors and textures, without skewing too sweet.

Whether you're team Huntr/x or Saja Boys, Mickey D's has you covered. The brand just launched two full-size meals—a Saja Boys-themed one for breakfast, a Huntr/x one for lunch/dinner—that are loaded with Easter eggs for fans of the Netflix series.

The Saja Boys meal, available during breakfast hours, includes a Spicy Sausage McMuffin (featuring a generous slathering of Spicy Saja sauce, which tastes a lot like the medium-spiced Creamy Chili sauce), hash browns and a drink.

The rest of the day, you can order the Huntr/x Meal, which combines ten-piece McNuggets with Ramyeon Shaker Fries and a drink. Like the Grinch fries served during the holiday season, you place fries in an included paper bag, top with as much seasoning as you'd like and give it a shake. Go sparingly on the seasoning—it has a strong chicken Ramen flavor, adding an umami note, but it can get a bit salty. You'll also snag two limited-edition sauces: Hunter Sauce, a tangy-sweet blend that tastes a lot like Sweet Chili sauce, and Demon Sauce, a shockingly purple dip that gets its color from butterfly pea flower and is reminiscent of honey mustard.

All of the meals are served in a KPop-coded box and come with two collectible cards—one of which is a VIP card with a unique code you can pop into the McDonald's app to access special content.

Trippiest of all is the Derpy McFlurry, inspired by the scene-stealing purple tiger from the movie. At first glance, you may think the dark purple bits in the dessert are blueberries; they're actually blackberry popping pearls, which add a jolt of sweet-tart flavor to the wild berry-syrup-swirled vanilla soft serve. It's bright, refreshing and fun.

Out of the full lineup, I have to say the Saja Boys breakfast was my favorite. Just be sure to ask for a side of Demon sauce for dipping your hash brown in; it's the ideal tangy complement to the spicy McMuffin.

Auntie Anne's fans, take note: For $50, you can buy the Golden Pretzel Pass—a limited-edition pass that grants you one pretzel per week for a full year, once it's activated. Passes are limited, so you may want to act fast to score yours.

Chipotle's cilantro lime rice is the stuff of grain bowl legend. If you can't get enough of that herby-lime flavor (I can't), you're going to want to try its new Cilantro Lime sauce. It's creamy, it's tangy and it's exceptionally delicious paired with the carnitas or chicken al pastor, black beans and a ton of veggies (bowl or burrito is your call).

Just note that if you want to try it, you'll have to act fast—it's only available for a limited time.

To my friends in the Carolinas, pimento is its own category of flavor, featuring three key ingredients: shredded sharp cheddar, mayo (always Duke's) and diced pimento peppers. It's been dubbed the "caviar of the South," and Shake Shack has decided to pay homage to the creamy, cheesy, zippy spread with its own riff.

Available for a limited time, the Clubhouse Pimento Cheese combines shredded cheddar with chopped cherry peppers and ShackSauce—the brand's signature briny, tangy, mayo-based sauce. It makes for an even zestier, punchier pimento, and it turns the classic burger or chicken sandwich into a delightfully cheesy, gooey mess. You can order it atop a burger or as a side alongside Chicken Bites, but my favorite take is the Clubhouse Pimento Cheese Chicken Sandwich, since the white meat chicken is so hearty, the breading so thick and crispy, and the thick-cut pickles so dill-y. Bring your appetite; the sandwich alone is a full meal.

Levain is the blueprint for the massive, gooey cookie trend (which shows no signs of dying down). This spring, they've launched a seasonal Carrot Cake Cookie, which combines the classic dessert's signature spices with grated carrots, chopped apricots and white chocolate chips. Each bite is gloriously studded with mix-ins and tastes like a mashup between the iconic cake and an oatmeal cookie in all the best ways.

Even better? You don't have to live near Levain to try it; it can be shipped nationwide in four to 12-packs, or as part of the Spring Garden Party Assortment (from $32), which combines a sampling of the Carrot Cake, Lemon, Oatmeal Raisin and (my personal favorite) Caramel Coconut Chocolate Chip cookies.

When I researched the best mezcals last year, one brand was recommended to me over and over again, to the point that one food editor admitted she kept it permanently stocked on her bar cart after first trying it four years ago. That was Su Casa mezcal, and I must say: The brand lives up to the hype. Its new Reposado is barrel-aged for three months, giving it a smoother flavor. It's lighter on the smoke than other mezcals and has a nice vanilla-meets-clove flavor that makes it great to sip on the rocks or as a moodier take on a margarita. (Sorry, tequila, but you've been replaced.)

ICYMI, the blue box just got a better-for-you upgrade. Kraft PowerMac hits grocery stores this month, offering mac and cheese that boasts 17 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber per serving. It's available in original and white cheddar, and since the added nutrients come from the noodles, the flavor remains the same as you remember it from childhood (more nostalgia eating!).

If you live near a Kroger, head to the freezer aisle ASAP. The brand has launched several frozen dishes, all designed to simplify weeknights, but the one that my family devoured the fastest was the Private Selection Korean-Inspired Beef Bulgogi. The thinly sliced beef heats up like a dream, retaining its tenderness. My kids especially loved the subtle, almost teriyaki-like sweetness to the sauce. I loved that dinner was ready in minutes and tasted better than takeout.

Over the past 20 years, Whispering Angel has made a name for itself as the go-to for a crowd-pleasing, luxurious bottle of rosé. This March, its 20th vintage started hitting stores, and it embodies the best of the varietal. It starts out silky with citrusy notes that give way to a crisp, refreshing finish—perfect for the balmy days of summer ahead...and any alfresco spring party in between.

Name a more delightful ice pop, I'll wait. Jonny Pops makes USDA organic, dye-free pops that are genuinely delicious, and its latest line is no exception. Dubbed Unicorn Twist, the swirly, unicorn horn-esque treats come in three varieties: Red, White and Blue (featuring cherry, lemon and blue raspberry layers), Mystical Pink Punch (fruit punch, black cherry and peach) and Enchanted Fruit Punch (fruit punch, cherry, orange, lemon, green apple and blue raspberry). They're also vegan and gluten-free and are made in a peanut-free facility, making them a great option for birthday parties.

All of the flavors are fruity and refreshing, but my family's favorite is the rainbow-hued Fruit Punch, since you get to sample six flavors at once.

I couldn't get into the sardine movement, but luxe tinned veggies? That I can get behind. Michelin-starred chef Dan Barber recently launched Row 7 Tinned Vegetables, where he applies restaurant-worthy techniques, like confit, to vegetables that are then packed in flavorful vinaigrettes. You can snack on them on their own—they'll give your classic charcuterie board new life—or as a shortcut for a quick dinner, since the vinaigrettes can double as a sauce. (I warmed the Sweet Prince Tomatoes, which are packed in extra-virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar, in a sauté pan and tossed them with spaghetti for a ready-in-minutes dinner that tasted reservation-worthy. It was wild.)

You can find the Sweet Prince Tomatoes, along with Row 7's two other canned veggie varieties—Badger Flame Beets and Sweet Garleek—at Whole Foods stores and online.

Starbucks isn't just offering a protein boost at its cafés; you can now find it in two ready-to-drink offerings sold at grocery and convenience stores nationwide. Priced at $4 per 12-ounce bottle, Starbucks Coffee & Protein comes in two flavors: Classic Caffé (a creamy, coffee-forward flavor) and Caffé Mocha (a cocoa-rich blend). Each one boasts 22 grams of protein and 5 grams of prebiotic fiber.

If you want to mix up lunch—or are craving takeout without takeout prices—get thee to Target. The Tem Toa frozen Thai food line will debut at the chain on April 5, and the quality of each meal is top-notch. The chicken stays juicy, not rubbery, and the sauces taste fresh, not congealed, as some frozen meals tend to be. (No gummy noodles either!)

My top picks of the brand's lineup? The medium-spiced Green Curry Chicken and veggie-laden Chicken Pad Thai.

Yes, Pepsi is getting in on the Prebiotic Cola movement, and guys, it's good. There's a bit of a sweet aftertaste, not unlike other prebiotic sodas, but for the most part, it's a lot like Pepsi Zero Sugar. Shockingly similar, honestly. Each 12-ounce can contains 3 grams of fiber (12 percent of your daily value) and 5 grams of sugar and clocks in at 30 calories.
