Vegan Kale, Cashew, and Basil Pesto
Being a former vegan, I discovered this Trader Joe’s vegan pesto while on the hunt for the perfect addition to my pasta. While I am no longer a vegan, I still SWEAR by this pesto. It is the best pesto I have ever had, with a perfectly balanced flavor of basil and a creamy, perfect texture. Once trying this vegan kale, cashew, and basil pesto, you will definitely be coming back for more!
Sparkling Watermelon Juice
Sparkling water is all the rave right now, and the flavor of this sparkling watermelon juice will get you instantly on board. Each serving contains only 60 calories, and it truly is a can of summer! I am typically not the biggest juice fan, but this refreshing little fizzy drink made me a fan in no time.
Everything But the Bagel Seasoning
I’m sure you’ve heard of the “Everything But the Bagel Seasoning” from Trader Joe’s, so no excuses if you still haven’t tried it. This perfect combination of sea salt, garlic, and onion tastes amazing on absolutely anything and everything. Whether you add this to one of your avocado toast creations in the morning or choose to season your chicken with it, I promise that it will not leave you disappointed!
Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cups
These dark chocolate almond butter cups are simply to die for. They have been ranked as one of Trader Joe’s top selling items for quite some time now, and there is good reason for it! I personally prefer almond butter over peanut butter, but if you are a peanut butter person, don’t you worry because they have dark chocolate peanut butter cups as well that are equally incredible!
Chili and Lime Rolled Corn Chips
THESE ARE THE BOMB. After trying these chili and lime rolled corn chips, I absolutely fell in love. While I sat down with a bag with the intentions of snacking on a few chips, I ended up polishing off the entire bag. They are THAT good. I have always been a fan of Takis but these won me over after trying them only once. With the perfect balance of spice from the chili flavor and zest from the lime, they are truly irresistible.
Cauliflower Gnocchi
If you are someone who loves experimenting with healthier versions of some of your favorite foods, this cauliflower gnocchi might be the perfect Trader Joe’s product for you! I have found that some cauliflower substituted products tend not to have quite as much flavor as the originals, but this cauliflower gnocchi certainly proves that thought wrong. It is perfectly crispy once sautéed in a pan, and you simply HAVE to give it a try.
Teeny Tiny Avocados
These teeny tiny avocados have been a GAME CHANGER. Being a college student who cooks for herself, these tiny little avocados are the PERFECT size! I find that one of these avocados spreads perfectly across two slices of toast, without having to leave a half in a ziploc bag to brown and become forgotten about before ultimately wasting. Bottomline, you need to grab yourself a bag of these teeny tiny avocados next time you are at Trader Joe’s because they are such a perfect little addition to so many different meals!
Roasted Plantain Chips
My mouth is watering just thinking about the roasted plantain chips from Trader Joe’s. These crispy slices of roasted plantain pieces are combined with the perfect combination of sunflower oil and sea salt. If you’re looking for an alternative to snacking on a bag of potato chips, but still want the same element of crunch and saltiness, getting a bag of these roasted plantain chips is the perfect choice! I promise they will leave your chip craving fully satisfied!
Very Green Smoothie
This “Very Green Smoothie” from Trader Joe’s is absolutely delicious. I find that I tend to be a bit picky when it comes to finding a balanced flavor of fruits and vegetables in green smoothies, and I feel that this particular product has truly nailed the balance! If you’re looking for a refreshing and healthy drink while doing your grocery shopping at TJ’s, this very green smoothie is definitely worth giving a try!
