Top 10 Trader Joe’s Items
Ever wander around aimlessly through grocery store aisles? Wander no more and get these 10 Trader Joe’s staples every time you don’t know what you want in your kitchen:
MINI PANCAKE PUFFS
- All you have to do is microwave these freezable puffs for a minute and a half and there you have it, a comfort breakfast. Although bite sized, they secretly punch you in the face with sweetness, so much so that maple syrup is unnecessary. This breakfast is easy to make, convenient, and most importantly, delicious!
JOE-JOE’S
- These cookies are definitely an Oreo dupe but in my opinion, these are much more tasty. The chocolate is more flavorful compared to Oreos and they have more cookie cream…my favorite part.
MINI PEANUT BUTTER CUPS
- Coming home from school to see these peanut butter cups waiting for me in my snack cabinet is arguably the best feeling ever. They have a perfect ratio between sweet and savory (P.S. They taste even better 12 at a time)
CHICKEN SOUP DUMPLINGS
- It is likely you remember these dumplings when they went viral back in the winter of 2021. Although they have fazed out of For You Pages, they have continued to live in my mind rent free. They can be easily made using a microwave so don’t fret if you are not a great chef. There are 6 per back, a perfect amount to keep you filled throughout the night.
VEGETABLE DUMPLINGS
- Since we are on the dumpling topic, be sure to purchase these as well. They are also microwavable and a great fit for those who don’t eat meat or feel like eating meat that day.
MUSHROOM FLATBREAD
- Unfreeze this flatbread with your oven to easily trick your friends and family that you made it yourself. Although easy to make, it tastes absolutely divine that you will not be able to stop yourself from eating the entire thing in one sitting…I know I can’t!
EVERYTHING BUT THE BAGEL SESAME SEASONING
- Although not exactly a food, it would be a crime to not include this on the list. This seasoning tastes amazing on avocado toast, omelets, and bagels of course! Whenever I run out of everything bagels I ALWAYS put this blend on top of the cream cheese on my plain bagel to get a similar, if not better result. Works like a charm!
MAC AND CHEESE BITES
- In my opinion, there is nothing better than breaded food and mac and cheese so this combination is nonetheless elite. Each pack comes with 10 bites, just enough to get you through an episode of your favorite show.
CHEESE TORTELLINI
- I would say I am a very big pasta critic and Trader Joe’s Cheese Tortellini has a 5 star rating in my book. I always like to add some salt and pepper on top once it is done cooking as well.
CAULIFLOWER PIZZA CRUST
- These cauliflower crusts make AMAZING pizza as a healthier alternative to normal pizza. Buy sauce, mozzarella cheese, and your favorite toppings and, voilà, there you have a restaurant-style meal.
Hopefully this list helps with making your future grocery shopping trips much more manageable!
