Sharing my favorite finds from Trader Joe\u2019s!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Hellooooo! How are ya? I hope you\u2019re enjoying the day so far. I have a couple of meetings this morning and looking forward to a massage later today. I hope you have a lovely day ahead!<\/p>\n

For today\u2019s post, I wanted to share my favorite Trader Joe\u2019s finds!<\/strong> I LOVE learning about new Trader Joe\u2019s products \u2014 they have so much good stuff. Since 2020, the Pilot had been doing most of the grocery shopping. Since he was \u201cout in the world\u201d more during that one time that shall not be named, it was something we did for safety. He would get most of our groceries at Trader Joe\u2019s, and we would order everything else for pickup from Whole Foods.<\/p>\n

Over time as things changed, the grocery routine remained the same. He would get most of the groceries at TJ\u2019s, I would pick up the extra stuff at Whole Foods or Natural Grocers. While I loved the fact that he took this major chore off my plate, I definitely missed browsing Trader Joe’s and finding new fun things. When I finally went back\u2026 I went a little wild lol. The guy at checkout was like, \u201cI\u2019m going to grab you a second cart\u201d lol.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

For today\u2019s post, I wanted to share some of my all-time faves. Please try to keep in mind that I tried to only include more *fun* stuff on this list. Yes, Everything but the Bagel seasoning is life-changing, and Trader Joe\u2019s has lovely medjool dates, salad greens, flowers, and candles, but I wanted to include products that are exclusive to Trader Joe\u2019s. Please let me know if you have any favorites, especially for fall!<\/p>\n

My 15 favorite Trader Joe’s products<\/h2>\n

<\/a><\/h3>\n

1. The gluten-free brownie mix<\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve tried so many gf brownies mixes over the years and this one is hands down the best. It\u2019s fudgy, soft, super rich, and let\u2019s just ignore the fact that the #1 ingredient is sugar.<\/p>\n

2. \u201cEverything but the Elote\u201d chips<\/h3>\n

These chips are LIFE and there\u2019s nothing that tastes as good as the first chip. They\u2019re extremely savory, a little spicy, and have the perfect Frito-esque shape and crunch. 10\/10<\/p>\n

3. Chili and Lime Flavored Rolled Tortilla Chips aka TJ\u2019s Takis<\/h3>\n

We all agree that these taste even better than Taki\u2019s and have way better ingredients. The flavor is much more bold and lime-y, and no red food dye. Wins all around.<\/p>\n

4. Hot and sweet jalape\u00f1os<\/h3>\n

These are the perfect mix of spicy and sweet and taste amazing on a plain tortilla chip or nachos.<\/p>\n

5. Simply almonds, cashews, and chocolate trail mix<\/h3>\n

I love this plain trail mix with chocolate chunks. My other favorite trail mix is NOW Foods Raw Energy Nut Mix and I\u2019ll add chocolate chips to it!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

6. Mini vegan ice cream cones<\/h3>\n

These are the perfect little sweet bite! I usually get the chocolate chip but they recently came out with a salted caramel. YUM.<\/p>\n

7. Tahini<\/h3>\n

Ok, so this is the least *fun* one on the list, but I love their tahini. It\u2019s organic, has a lovely texture, is perfect for hummus (which I make a couple of times a week), and so much less expensive than some of the other brands.<\/p>\n

8. Instant boba<\/h3>\n

The girls go wild for the instant boba, which is frozen. It takes only a couple of minutes to heat up, I pour almond milk on top, and they include boba straws.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

9. Truffle almonds<\/h3>\n

These truffle Marcona almonds are amazing on a cheese board or salad. They\u2019re nice and salty and have the perfect amount of truffle flavor.<\/p>\n

10. Mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups<\/h3>\n

If I could just have one sweet bite forever, this would be it. They\u2019re an ideal size for a quick little sweet, and the peanut butter inside has a great flavor and texture.<\/p>\n

11. Salsa Especial (medium)<\/h3>\n

This salsa just like restaurant salsa and is awesome on eggs, rice, enchiladas, or with chips.<\/p>\n

12. Plantain chips<\/h3>\n

The plain ones are amazing and I also like the chocolate dipped ones! While I wish they used olive, coconut, or avocado oil, they\u2019re still tasty with some guacamole.<\/p>\n

13. Dill pickle salad kit<\/h3>\n

We\u2019re all obsessed with dill pickle salad kids, but this one beats the Whole Foods one because it comes with dill pickle potato chips to crumble into the salad. Seriously 10\/10.<\/p>\n

14. Organic orange juice<\/h3>\n

It really tastes like fresh-squeezed orange juice with a bright citrus flavor and just the right amount of pulp.<\/p>\n

15. Everything but the Bagel smoked salmon<\/h3>\n

All you need to do is add it to a piece of sourdough with Kite Hill cream cheese and it\u2019s a dream.<\/p>\n

Ok friends: please spill all of your favorite Trader Joe\u2019s products! I\u2019d love to hear about your faves and add them to our next shopping trip.<\/p>\n

xo<\/p>\n
