Everyone loves Trader Joe’s. It is so fun to try new products and experiment with new meals. These are my current favorites.
Caramelized Onion Dip
This dip is a perfect snack. I typically eat it with either potato chips or baby carrots. Caramelizing the onions is a unique twist on regular onion dip. Trader Joeā€™s also carries a vegan version if you do not eat dairy!
Cowboy Caviar
Trader Joeā€™s Cowboy Caviar is a salsa made up of corn, black beans, peppers, onions and tomatoes. I tend to eat this with chips when I want to get additional protein into my diet. They carry a variety of tortilla chips that pair well.
Chicken Chow Mein
This is a low-fat product at Trader Joeā€™s found in the frozen section. I find that it tastes like lo mein which you may get at a Chinese restaurant. It is such an easy weeknight meal and can be heated up on the stove and ready in less than 10 minutes.
Chicken Soup Dumplings
The package of soup dumplings comes with six dumplings. It could not be more simple — all you have to do is microwave the package for three minutes. They also have a pork option which is tasty as well!
Fried Rice
I love having Trader Joeā€™s fried rice for an easy dinner. They carry a variety of types such as vegetables, chicken and shrimp. I tend to gravitate towards the Chicken Fried Rice and like to add soy sauce, sesame oil and an additional egg to elevate it.Ā
Chocolate-Covered Coconut Almonds
If you like chocolate-covered almonds and coconuts, you will love these. If you need a small sweet treat after a meal these are perfect.
Crunchy CurlsĀ
Crunchy Curls are such an easy snack. They are made up of potatoes and lentils. The crunch is very satisfying and you can feel good about eating them with the added protein from the lentils.
Peanut Butter Protein Granola
This is the perfect granola that completes your breakfast. Although Trader Joeā€™s has tons of types of granola, this one is my favorite. I love that it has peanuts in it as well. I sprinkle it over yogurt and fruit in the morning.
Chicken SausageĀ
The packs of chicken sausage at Trader Joeā€™s are awesome. They have a large assortment of flavors. My favorites are the sweet apple flavor and the spicy jalapeno flavor. I tend to just cut them up and throw them into pasta with marinara sauce. They also do great in the freezer.
Wine
Lastly, one of my current Trader Joeā€™s favorites right now is the selection of wine. If you are lucky enough to have a Trader Joeā€™s with a liquor license near you, definitely take advantage — as long as you are 21!
