Trader Joe’s is known for always changing their store products and spicing up their line for the festivities! Now that fall has come around, let’s take a look at their seasonal offerings.
1. Pumpkin Overnight Oats
If you need a wake-me-up to start your day, try these pumpkin overnight oats! They are pre-made and best to be served cold in the morning. If you are not into the taste of sweets, this is the perfect product. The pumpkin overnight oats have a lot of spices and pumpkin flavor, but the sweetness is not overpowering! I would personally rate the pumpkin overnight oats a 7/10 because it’s nourishing and allows me to start the day focused on class.
2. Autumn Harvest Creamy Pasta Sauce
If you are a pasta girly like me, this is a necessity for the holidays by far. This product is extremely fresh and contains a lot of nourishing ingredients including pumpkin, butternut squash, and carrots. I would rate the autumn harvest creamy pasta sauce a 9/10 because it is extremely flavorful, and the perfect comforting fall supplement.
3. Pumpkin Bisque
I had never tried bisque before, so I was excited to see what the Trader Joe’s pumpkin bisque was all about. However, it was not for me because this bisque has the very distinctive taste of pumpkin puree. I would rate this product a 3/10 because it is a unique type of soup but just leaves an unpleasant aftertaste.
4. Fall Harvest Salsa
The fall harvest salsa is a perfect fall necessity! It is extremely favorable with a mix of pumpkin, apple, and butternut squash. It is delicious and a perfect pair with the fall leaf tortilla chips. I am not usually into spice, but this salsa was perfectly mild in heat. I would rate the fall harvest salsa a 10/10 because it is honestly one of the best salsas I have ever tried!
5. Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese
One of the fan-favorites of Trader Joe’s fall products is the butternut squash mac n’ cheese. I was hoping to enjoy this because I love mac and cheese, but I honestly did not. The package has a very small portion, and though it is a healthy alternative to regular mac n’ cheese, it was very lacking flavor and almost bland. I would rate the butternut squash mac n’ cheese a 6/10 because I like the concept of curating a mac n’ cheese for the fall season, this one was just not it for me.
6. Pumpkin Gnocchi
Lastly, if you are looking for a healthy easy go-to meal for the fall, these pumpkin gnocchi are the right move to experiment with your meals. I wanted to try pumpkin gnocchi because I really love cauliflower gnocchi. I honestly loved this because it was very flavorful and tasted just how I imagine fall might taste. I would rate the pumpkin gnocchi an 8/10 because it has a different texture, but is still extremely flavorful with the sweet potato and pumpkin spice combination.
