My Favorite Food Finds from Trader Joe's!
It might be a little ridiculous to admit that I'm obsessed with a specialty grocery store, but it's 100% true.
Trader Joe's is a small, colorful grocery store that originated in California and now has locations all over the US.
They have tons of fresh food and produce, as well as interesting desserts, premade meals, snacks, frozen foods, and anything in between. So many of my favorite foods are from here, so I thought I'd make a master list of must-trys if you're in the vicinity of one!

Chili & Lime Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips
These bad boys... my mouth is watering just thinking about them. They're the perfect blend of tangy and spicy without burning your whole mouth off. Healthier, less painful Hot Cheetos or Takis!
Cauliflower Gnocchi
A veggie-based approach to pasta/dumplings, these are way tastier than they sound! I love cooking them and adding sauteed onions or garlic and any type of pasta sauce.
Vegan Banana Bread
This stuff is amazing- moist, sweet, and vegan to top it off!
Crunchy Slaw Chicken Salad
TJ's has plenty of pre-made salads and refrigerated meals, but this one is my favorite by far. It's a cabbage/coleslaw based salad, with grilled chicken, carrots, crisppy chow mein noodles, and the most tasty, sweet & spicy peanut dressing you'll ever taste.
Everything But The Bagel Seasoning
This is what brings my avocado toasts and egg sandwiches in the morning to the next level. It's great on almost anything, and it adds a hearty flavor to your food.
Jumbo Cinnamon Rolls
Forget every other tube of take-and-bake cinnamon rolls you've tried before, I guarantee this one is better.
Soft Pretzel Stick
This one is addicting- it's like a personal size baguette, but with all the salty, doughy goodness of a soft pretzel.
Scandinavian Swimmers
These little guys are great treats, and even though they're obvious rip-offs of Swedish Fish, they've got their own unique flavor.
Chocolate Chip Dunkers
These aren't your everyday chocolate chip cookies; their skinny shape allows them to be dunked into a tall glass of milk with ease. They're pretty thin and crispy, which I really enjoy sometimes instead of soft, chewy cookies.
Vegan Pesto
This is a must-have for me- I make pasta salad with this, as well as put it on sandwiches, or anything that would be good with a kick of basil.
Sparkling Watermelon Juice
This stuff is seasonal (it only comes around in the summertime) so I am enjoying it while I can! It's the perfect summer drink, mixed with lime juice or other flavors of sparkling water.
