Trader Joe’s is my happy place. Every time I go in, I walk out with way more than I had planned on getting. I walk down every aisle just to admire the fun and unique foods they have. I also never feel guilty about binging their snacks because they have really healthy options with ingredients I know and trust! I also really appreciate the price range because I am a broke college student. I always leave with something new because I want to try everything, but these are my current obsessions that I highly recommend! If you love TJ as much as I do or if you have never been, this list is for you ;)
- Blueberry Lavender Almond Drink
-
I am more of an oat milk girl, but this caught my eye because I love lavender, and I have never seen anything like it before. I’ve been loving this in my morning coffee or with some granola.
- Vegetable Pad Thai
-
So my favorite food ever is chicken pad thai, so when I saw this, I had to try it. I’ve been trying to incorporate more vegan items into my grocery list, so this was perfect. I also love all of Trader Joe’s pre-made meals because I don’t always have time to make something. I get this every time I go. It is a little spicy, but I think it’s perfect.
- Trader Joe’s Diner Mac ‘n Cheese
-
This is my guilty pleasure meal. It is so cheesy and delicious. I love mac n cheese, and this is definitely my favorite box kind.
- Buffalo Style Chicken Dip
-
I recently tried this because my roommate got it in honor of the Super Bowl. It is spicy, but just the right amount. It has chunks of shredded chicken which I liked a lot, and it was delicious on some pretzels. If you are a dip person, I would definitely recommend this. They have a lot of really amazing dips, but this one is my current favorite.
- Cauliflower Pizza Crust
-
This is a gluten-free option that I have really enjoyed making pizzas and flatbreads with. It adds a little something and makes me feel healthy and satisfied. On a similar note, they also have Cauliflower Gnocchi that is amazing.
- Salad Dressings
-
Almond Butter Turmeric, Carrot Miso Ginger, Green Goddess – These three salad dressings are all so good and fresh and add a lot of flavor to any salad. Usually, salad dressings make the salad much less healthy, but these are a pretty healthy alternative that tastes great. They are also vegan!
- Gone Bananas
-
These are just frozen bananas covered in chocolate. It sounds so simple, but they are so addicting. My favorite go-to sweet snack by far.
- Mandarin Orange Chicken
-
This entree is a house favorite. I love orange chicken from anywhere, but this is so simple and easy to make. They give you a ton of pieces of chicken. It is so delicious over rice.
- Green Tea Mochi
-
They have other flavors, but the green tea is my favorite. These are delicious little ice cream bites that are coated in mochi. So fresh and light, I could eat the whole box.
- Mixed Nut Butter
-
This blend of nuts is so good. I tried it recently and fell in love. It is super filling and nourishing. I’ve been putting in on my oatmeal creations in the morning, and I can’t stop.
