You too can start your very own online business here that can make you money from anywhere in the world!!
Before we begin however, I am conscious that there are a number of different areas or sub niches within this subject hence the quantity of affiliate programs to choose from may be just as large. So how have I picked my best 10? Well… I really just wanted to give you a good cross section of what is out there so I did some searching around and checked a few out and chose them by looking at:
- What they offer
- Commission rates
- Payment terms
- Cookie duration
- Application processes
- Affiliate/Marketing materials provided
Before we start however, let's have a look at what I mean by the term ‘health food' and how it can be incorporated within an affiliate marketing website…
10 Health Food Affiliate Programs
Stats show that people will spend money on health food online if it can make their lives easier so as long as you are meeting their needs and solving problems, then you are on the right track. And to give you a boost, let's have a look at 10 programs that I have found:
1. Healthy Goods
Let's start with an all in one health food site in Healthy Goods. Healthy Goods offers a large range of raw, organic, vegan foods and natural whole food supplements all packaged within their own USDA-certified organic packaging facility. Their product range includes:

They also offer a smaller range of hemp oil products as well.
This is a great site for affiliates as it allows you to cover all aspects of raw foods and supplements in the one spot. In addition to their own products they also stock a number of carefully selected, well-known brands as well. There is a great blog included making this site one that could definitely be used to base a health food affiliate business upon.

2. Sunfood Superfoods
Sunfood Superfoods is another large health food site with a belief that the “key to good health, natural energy and long life is diet and nutrition”. They offer a great range of products – in fact, there is so much there that we could not even begin to cover everything here but their main categories include:
- Superfoods
- Super Supplements
- Super Snacks
This list really doesn't come close to doing the site justice however rest assured that if there is a superfood or supplement required for any healthy diet requirement you are looking for, then this site will have it. Products can also be located via such needs as:
- Stress relief
- Weight control
- Sleep and relaxation
- Brain health
- Bone and Joint health

4. Nutiva
Now we start to narrow things down a little starting with Nutiva. Based on a philosophy to “revolutionize the way the world eats”, Nutiva focuses a little more on the ‘pantry side of things with what is calls “the world’s finest organic plant-food ingredients” including:

There is maybe enough on this site to base an entire affiliate marketing site around as there are good options for both the new and professional cook as well as those dealing with marketplace type sites. There is a great blog and recipe section aimed at utilising their products for Vegan, Keto and Gluten Free dietary needs as well.

- Books
- eBooks
- Wellness programs
- Health coaching
- Gut health products
- Skin care products
The power in this site for affiliates is the amazing range of materials providing information on everything to do with health and food such as:
- Meal planners
- Recipes
- Information blogs
- Chemical free cleaning recipes
- Home growing information and tips
- And really so much more
From a pure sales point of view this site is probably not one that you would build an entire affiliate marketing business around however it would be a great companion/add on to just about any healthy food or living related niche possible (almost a must add) – and even for those dealing with health and wellness as well.

6. Well Nourished
Along the same lines as the previous site, Well Nourished appears to focus on the food preparation and healthy use side of things first, and its saleable products second. The focus is on “real food and delicious, do-able recipes, for real life and optimal health” consisting of recipes, blogs, cooking instructions and general day to day health advice from a qualified naturopath. In terms of items for sale, the site has a good range of eBooks and books covering meals and healthy food for family living.
As above, there is probably not enough here to base an entire affiliate marketing business around however their offerings would certainly be a great addition to any health and wellness or healthy living niche. The fantastic range of free materials can also assist you with post ideas and reviews and well as extra information for your readers.

- Greens – Superfood and Cereal Grasses
- Smoothie Boosters
- Protein
- Effervescent drinks
- Kids Probiotics and Superfoods
This would make a great addition to any health food or healthy living site aimed at families and lifestyle dieters alike. And as with most sites within this post, there is a great blog outlining such information as immunity boosting, recipes and achieving health goals (just to name a few).

All ingredients are all natural and contain no GMOs, toxic pesticides, irradiation, sewage sludge, antibiotics, growth hormones, or steroids. Meals can be ordered in the following categories:

Application required?: Yes, Green Chef’s affiliate program is managed by CJ Affiliates. You will be required to apply for an account then for the Green Chef affiliate program. You will need to enter personal and website information as part of the application.

All meals are from natural only ingredients and approved by “in–house dietitians to comply with the latest USDA dietary guidelines and most recent science-based nutritional recommendations.”

How to find your own affiliate programs
As stated earlier, by outlining the sites above I have really just tried to give you a good cross section of the types of programs that are out there by listing the really good ones in each ‘category'. That does not mean that you cannot find affiliate programs that better suit what it is that you are trying to do within this space especially as I could never even begin to cover every health food related requirement or sub niche in the one post. Luckily for us, there is a simple way to find these programs online.
All you need to do is enter “affiliate: niche type” into your search engine (substituting ‘niche type‘ for whatever product it is that you are choosing to sell).
There are health food affiliate program options for everything else that we have listed at the top of this page as well – you will just need to have a look around until you find one or two that suit your site. Once you have completed your searches, you can look through and find programs that:
- Relate to your niche/problems that you are solving.
- Have quality products – your brand can be severely damaged if you promote poor quality products.
- Have solid payment and customer service arrangement.
- Pay decent commissions.
- Have good testimonials covering commission payouts and quality of product.
In most cases, you will need to apply for the program before you are allowed to promote their products – don’t take this step lightly or you will be rejected. Affiliate programs will generally want to know:
- Your website name.
- Traffic levels.
- Why you want to join – (so I can make money by selling your plant based protein is unfortunately not generally a good enough answer).
- How you plan to promote their products.
Conclusion
So… There are 10 of the best health food affiliate programs to nourish the soul this year. I hope it has been helpful for you as you commence your own food based affiliate marketing business and as usual, please do not hesitate to comment below if you have any questions, need some advice or have any experiences to share. Oh, and especially comment if you have any experience with these, or any other programs as well.
Until next time
Have fun
Paul

Introducing Wealthy Affiliate, My #1 Recommendation for Setting Up Your Own Online Business
When I started, I knew I wanted to work online, but had absolutely no idea where to begin! You see I had watched friends of mine run a sales party to sell essential oils and someone asked if they could just sell them online?
Then, as I sat on the bus heading into my office job, I started to wonder if I could do just that, sell essential oils online.
Anything to stop having to catch this bus to and from work every day right!
The trouble was, as I mentioned above, I had no idea how to even start.
So of course I started to look around online and found all these courses! They all promised me riches then took my money but left me with no riches!
Then I stumbled across the program that didn’t promise me riches, but told me it could help me get started even with no experience!
So I did that, joined Wealthy Affiliate that was it, and the rest as they say, is history!
But it doesn’t come without work!
That is the key here! I began on their starter membership and did the training! I then joined as a member and did some more training!
Each night after work, I would do a little more, then a little more.
And to cut a long story short, after 10 months I realized I didn’t really like writing about essential oils, so I sold the site for about $2000. But I had learned so much that I started another – about fishing and camping!
Then, after 18 months (by which time it had earned me close to $10k), I was offered $17k for the site, so I sold it too.
Now, through my travel blog, I’ve been able to fund my passion for travel and explore different places around the world.
In the past few months, I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to some amazing destinations, including Bali, Los Angeles, Dallas, Vancouver and Las Vegas.
The success of my travel blog has allowed me to fully fund my travels and explore new destinations with my family.
