Everyone knows that I am a big Trader Joe's fan, and I'm also a major "foodie" so finding the best products that Trader Joe's has to offer has been a goal of mine for a while. There are so many delicious products that make preparing meals a lot easier.
My entire family is obsessed with all of these items, and you can only find them at Trader Joe's. Sadly, we don't live super close to one so we literally will drive an hour to stock up on these goodies.
So, here are the Top 25 items that I always buy at Trader Joe's in no particular order. You won't be disappointed!
1. Cuban Style Black Beans.
These add so much extra flavor to Mexican dishes or simple tacos.
2. Creamy Almond Butter.
Its healthier, and the best one I've tasted.
3. Carolina Gold BBQ sauce.
Simply throw this on chicken, and it's magic!
4. Brown Rice & Quinoa Pasta.
How did they make this healthier pasta option so yummy?!
5. Tomato Basil Marinara.
Best pasta sauce ever. Tastes high end for a fraction of the cost.
6. Triple Ginger Snaps.
If you like Ginger Snaps or any type of cookie, these take it to another level. So delicious.
7. Organic Pops.
I love these, and don't feel bad about giving them to my kids.
8. Oatmeal Cranberry Dunkers.
I have to buy multiple packs of these because my family eats an entire container in 2 days.
9. Sweet Plantain Chips.
A great alternative to traditional chips.
10. All the Salsas.
You seriously can't go wrong with Trader Joe's salsas, but my favorites are: Pineapple Salsa, Corn & Chile Salsa, and Cowboy Caviar.
11. Cinnamon Roll Bread.
This doesn't last 24 hours in my house. I can eat 10 slices in one sitting! LOL
12. Marcona Almonds with Rosemary.
These are so great with a meat & cheese plate or if you just want a delicious snack.
13. Just Mango Slices.
Super fresh. Super good.
14. Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips - Chili & Lime Flavored.
A party in your mouth. Amazing creation.
15. Pomegranate Seeds.
Healthy snack for the whole family. My kids love the burst feeling in their mouths.
16. Curry Chicken Salad.
Eat it with a spoon, on a sandwich or with crackers. So much goodness.
17. Croissants: Mini, Chocolate or Almond.
They taste like they are fresh from the bakery. Let them rise overnight, and bake them in the morning for a special treat.
18. Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry.
I use this for everything in place of rice. So flavorful and delicious.
19. Cauliflower Gnocchi.
This is a delicious, healthy alternative.
20. Chicken Tikka Samosas.
Great snack, appetizer or lunch. So authentic.
21. Mini Chicken Tacos.
We absolutely love these. Served with guacamole and salsa.
22. Vegan Kale, Cashew & Basil Pesto.
This is so good with pasta. Nothing else needed. Perfection.
23. Avocado's Number Guacamole.
I honestly don't like packaged guacamole. They all seem to have a weird after taste. This one doesn't, and it tastes like it was made fresh moments before you eat it.
24. Mandarin Chicken.
My family wants me to make this every night. So easy. So good and a perfect meal served over cauliflower riced stir fry.
25. Everything but the Bagel Seasoning.
If you haven't tried this, you are missing out. So good on eggs, avocado, and potatoes.
There are so many delicious items at Trader Joes, but these are my top 25 that I cannot leave the store without. I hope this helps you narrow down your purchases the next time you hit up this amazing store.
