Hi Friends!
I'm super excited about this blog post because it is about my love, Trader Joe's. I drive wayyy out of my way to shop here but you just can't beat the prices and unique products. I always love reading other people's Trader Joe's favorite's so I hope this inspires you to try some new things next time to shop!
FLOWERS- Trader Joe's really does have the best selection of flowers for sooo cheap. I just got a dozen of beautiful white roses for only $6.99!!!!! They also have herbs and more fancy plotted plants too if you're into that. I feel like everyone knows their flowers are bomb but I just had to throw it in here.
ORGANIC GINGER TUMERIC HERBAL TEA- This is the best stuff if you're bloated and feeling gross. I add just a splash of milk to make it a little creamy and its soo delicious. It kind of tastes like a chai but with a little more spice from the ginger. This always helps me feel not so obese after I shove my face with Qdoba.
COFFEE CUPS- The cheapest k-cups you will ever find. They are $5.00 for 12 cups and I really don't think I've ever found cheaper ones in any store. They also come in paper filter cups so there's no plastic for those who worry about plastic melting into your coffee.
CHILE LIME SEASONING BLEND- Okay so I know everyone is obsessed with the everything but the bagel seasoning and I am too but I just thought that was too basic for this post. This seasoning however is a game changer and soooo good. This tastes amazing on roasted veggies, chicken, and it also tastes amazing on some fruit like mango.
THIS STRAWBERRY WALKS INTO A BAR CEREAL BARS- These come in a bunch of different flavors but this strawberry one is a perfect snack for work. The whole pack is like $1.99 so you just can't beat the price.
SRIRACHA RANCH DRESSING- This is pretty self explanatory but I personally think it's the best sriracha ranch dressing I've ever had.
JUST MANGO SLICES- I feel like these are also a cult favorite but these freeze dried mangos actually taste like a fruit rollup. They will definitely fill your sweet tooth if you're trying to be healthy. You have to be careful to get this one and now the soft and juicy mango because that one has added sugar.
TRUFFLE MARCONA ALMONDS- Another blogger got me trying these but omg so good. These are actually pretty expensive for Trader Joe's but I think that's just because of the truffle. These almonds are so savory that just a handful will fill you up.
SPECULOOS CRUNCHY COOKIE BUTTER- I think everyone has tried this too but you HAVE to get the crunchy kind. It's a game changer.
COOKIE BUTTER COOKIES- These go hand in hand with the cookie butter it's even better because it comes in cookie form?!!? When I lived in SC and was lonely and sad, I used to eat an entire box of these at a time. #noshame
VEGGIE AND FLAXSEED TORTILLA CHIPS- These just taste like normal tortilla chips but I feel a little better about myself if I eat a whole container of salsa if the chips have flaxseeds in them ya know???
CHICKEN BURRITO BOWL- These are the best frozen lunches to bring to work for a perfect Qdoba-like vibe. I'm pretty sure this is pretty healthy too so that's a plus.
FROZEN MANGO CHUNKS- If you're ever having a sweet tooth, pour yourself a bowl of frozen mango and let it thaw for like 5 minutes and I swear it'll taste like ice cream. It's soo satisfying and this is another example of where the chile lime seasoning adds a delicious touch.
CREAMY SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP- This stuff tastes just like spinach dip you get at a restaurant and it's super easy to make. I feel like most grocery store spinach dips are served cold so this hot one makes it extra yummy.
GOURMET DELI SELECTIONS- I don't think this is specific to Trader Joe's but this is the perfect grab if you're making a charcuterie board. It has the three best meats for a cheese board so it is soo simple to put together a fancy board.
LIGHT BRIE CHEESE- This stuff tastes exactly like the full on fat brie cheese that everyone loves but it's a little bit healthier! I don't feel as guilty eating the entire thing in one sitting haha.
ORGANIC BUFFALO STYLE HUMMUS- I just discovered this a couple of weeks ago but it is already one of my favorites. You get the satisfaction of buffalo chicken dip without all of the unnecessary dairy and calories. These taste sooo good with some pita chips or some veggies if you're more on the healthy side.
REDUCED-GUILT SPINACH AND KALE GREEK YOGURT DIP- This stuff is also just a staple and is a great snack to keep in the fridge. It's super fulfilling and tastes great with those tortilla chips from earlier.
CHILE LIME CHICKEN BURGERS- When I live in SC, these were a great staple to keep in the freezer for quick dinners. They come individually wrapped so it's super easy to thaw and cook on the stove. These taste super good if you just shred the chicken and cook it with some roasted veggies.
LINGUINE WITH PESTO AND TOMATOES- This my holy grail frozen meal from TJ's!!!! Literally the best pesto pasta everrrrr. I literally eat the entire thing every time I get it. You need to try this if you haven't already!!
COLD PRESSED GREEN JUICE- This honestly tastes like all of the other green juices that you can get from a grocery store but it's super cheap for all of the veggies that you get.
I hope you all got some new inspiration for your next trip to Trader Joe's! Leave a comment down below on what your favorite Trader Joe's items are!
