My 7 Favorite Trader Joe’s Finds
Corn & Chile Tomato-Less Salsa 😍
This product is so good.
A. It is like a spicy kick and B. It’s got a sweet corn base which offsets that heat. Hello, mouth explosion.
I like to use this on eggs or as a dip with the Garlic Hummus. Also instead of Tortilla chips try Plantain chips because yassss!
Zucchini Fries
Listen, I’m about to say something and I would appreciate you not debating with me. Zucchini fries are better than sweet potato fries. There, it’s out.
Don’t get me wrong I love all fries… I’m a fry aficionado. But these are so tasty and I always feel slightly less guilty because technically there was a vegetable involved in the meal.
I love to pair it with a side of organic ketchup & hot sauce (Frank’s if you got it).
[Update: They have discontinued this majestic product]
Coconut Pancake Mix
So this is only going to be remotely interesting to you if you like the hint of coconut and also maybe tiny bits of coconut flakes. If you’re down with that this will increase your breakfast flavor game x10.
In a real treat yo self-way I love 2 pancakes with butter and maple syrup, paired with a poached egg and some bacon. Ugh yes! Sometimes I made this the night before and bring them to work with me because I just wanted to be full and happy that morning.
Roasted Garlic Hummus
We all like hummus. Hummus is great for dipping but every so often you find a flavored hummus that you stan for and you bring it everywhere you go. This Hummus made me stan for hummus. This is the first Hummus ‘staning’ I’ve ever been a part of so that’s basically enough information for you to go get it. I enjoy this with some corn salsa on top because the combination of the creamy hummus with the spicy sweet corn flavors is just too nice.
Jalapeno Limeade
I try not to drink juice very often because of the high levels of sugar but this will totally get me.
It has that spicy kick that I clearly love and that sugary Lime-ade that’s perfectly refreshing. I will definitely be drinking this by the pool this summer (and winter because…Florida!)
Turkey Meatballs
I am a meal prep person and sometimes I just don’t want the same chicken I made for lunch every day. These are super easy and helpful for dinner and very easy to combo with anything.
I like to add a tomato sauce + seasonings and fry it up on the stove. Get that protein in.
Dijon Mustard
High-key very fiery on the heat side. Kind of like a yellow wasabi situation happening here but it adds great flavor to sandwiches, wraps and veggie dips.
Totally worth those 5 seconds of fanning your mouth.
And that’s all folks… But knowing myself I’ll have to add to this list. Now go forth and get tasty!
Also, tell if me if there are any products I should absolutely be trying at Trader Joe’s.
