It’s not a secret that Trader Joe’s has many great products. One of the great things about Trader Joe’s is that they have so many items and there is always something new to try! To give you some new ideas about what to try, I am going to talk about a few of my favorite things I get from Trader Joe’s. 

Mini chocolate chip cookies

The mini chocolate chip cookies that come in the tub are arguably my favorite product at Trader Joe’s. These cookies taste close to homemade while still being bought in the store. They are also really tiny so are great if you want something sweet but are not hungry for something larger.

Dark chocolate, caramel, sea salt bar

This chocolate is a new found favorite of mine! I don’t normally love dark chocolate however, this bar changed my mind. It is the perfect mix of bitter, sweet and salty. I always grab one when I see it by the checkout.

Frozen berry medley

The frozen berry medley is made up of raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. It is my favorite fruit to make smoothies with and lasts a long time as it is frozen. I mix the berry medley, banana and almond milk to make a delicious smoothie.

Frozen vegetable curries

The frozen vegetable curries are such a quick and easy dinner! There are different types but my favorites are the Vegetable Biryani and the Channa Masala. You can eat them by themselves or with rice or naan bread for a warming dinner option.

Harvest chili soup

This soup is perfect for a colder day. It has vegetables such as cauliflower and butternut squash, black beans and quinoa in it. If you are looking for a quick healthy and delicious option for soup then try this! 

After years of trying different things from Trader Joe’s, these are some of my favorite items! If you are looking for something new to try, I highly recommend all of these choices!
