If I had to shop at one supermarket for the rest of my life, I would choose Trader Joe’s, hands down. Not only does is have organic fruits, veggies and meats at reasonable prices, it has a ton of different Trader Joe’s only products that I absolutely love. I wanted to share some of my favorite must have products from Trader Joe’s and share my love for meatless burgers in my first ever vlog!

These are the things that I picked up on my last trip to Trader Joe’s. It had been a few weeks since I’d been to TJ’s and about a week since I had been to the grocery store, so a lot of the things I got are my staples. I’m going to elaborate on the things that I think you really need to try!

Fruits/Veggies:

  • I love TJ’s pre-cut fruit. I am a huge pineapple fan and I love that I can be lazy and buy the precut spears without breaking the bank
  • Bagged Greens. I use Kale in my green juices and spring mix is a salad staple
  • Baby Beets. These are peeled, precooked and ready for eating. Being a huge fan of beets, I could just eat these out of the package, but they usually go into my salads.
  • English cucumbers. My favorite crispy, crunchy veggie. I love slicing these and dipping into hummus or dressing.

Dinner items:

  • Veggie/Mahi Mahi burgers. See vlog below!
  • Potstickers. These are Munchkin’s favorite thing. The boy loves his dumplings.
  • Fried Rice. This rice is a staple in my family. We seriously have it at every family get together and we never have leftovers…ever.
  • Lobster Ravioli. Great for a quick dinner and insanely good!

Snacks:

  • Jerky. In this trip I had gotten Salmon jerky, but I’ve had turkey and beef and none have ever disappointed.
  • Fruit Leather Bars. They come in a bunch of flavors and a great alternative to other supermarket “fruit snacks.”
  • Larabars/Cliff Z Bars.
  • Rice cakes. I eat these dry and I also make them into sandwiches when I’m a bit hungrier.
  • Cocoa Almond Spread. This is glorified Nutella, but I love it!
  • Apple Carrot Crushers. These are little applesauce pouches, which Munchkin and I both love.

Condiments:

  • Sweet Chili Sauce. I mention it in the vlog, but this is the best all purpose topping to any protein. As you can imagine from the name, it is sweet, but the chili flakes give it a nice kick.
  • Coconut Oil. TJ’s is my place for coconut oil. I use this stuff for everything so I go through a lot, and at the price you can’t beat it. I’ve also seen that they have a spray coconut oil, but sadly my TJ’s hasn’t stocked it yet.

 

I hope you found my list helpful and that some new items will sneak into your cart on your next trip to Trader Joe’s!

What’s your favorite supermarket to shop at? What are your Trader Joe’s must haves?
