TIPS are one option - Treasury Inflation Protection Securities, which are US treasury bonds indexed for inflation so there's almost no inflation risk as long as your personal rate of inflation is close to the CPI rate.
There are 3 low-cost ETFs all at 0.05% fee: SCHP (Schwab), VTIP (Vanguard), STIP (iShares). TIPS are subject to price fluctuations, so be sure you do some research.
