I never thought I would say this, but I have been a Trader Joes girlie for a couple of years now! I absolutely LOOVE Trader Joes. It is my go-to for healthier alternatives, and nothing beats the price and quality of the products. Over the past years, as my choices in eating have changed, I have become such a fan of trying out new products from TJS, and I have so many favorites that I always want to share with everyone.
Here are my top 5 favorite items from Trader Joes.. I can make another blog on what my families favorite items are from Trader Joes as these are mine only. Let me know what your favorite ones are in the comments below.
Crispy Jalapeño Pieces
These are so good to add to a simple salad and take it up a notch in flavor! I add them to my salads all the time for that spicy kick and crunch. You can even snack on them alone for a quick snack!
Trader Joes Salad Dressings
So not only are Trader Joes dressings a healthier option than other store bought dressings like Hidden Valley, but they are also so fresh tasting and delicious! You can taste the fresh ingredients in the product, and you don’t feel as bad when adding in some extra dressing. They do go bad quicker than other store bought dressings, so beware they might only last a week or so at most if you even have any leftover at that point.
Trader Joes Orange Chicken
During the pandemic, we discovered Trader Joes Orange chicken, and it became a staple in our kitchen. It’s so easy and convenient for a busy weekday night as you literally take 15 minutes to make on stove or in oven. For the sides, we grab some of Trader Joes white rice that is ready to microwave or we make some vegetable rice. Recently, we even picked up a large side of chow main from our local Panda Express! There are so many options that can go with it.
Trader Joes Half and Half
I’m a BIG coffee morning person. I literally can’t even function if I don’t immediately go downstairs for a cup. Over the past years, I’ve also taken into consideration how bad regular creamers like Coffee Mate can be for everyday indulgence and even my previous favorite drinks from coffeeshops. I’ve made big changes in how I order my drinks, and for home, I have been a loyal fan of half and half. Just a small splash, and my coffee is ready to be enjoyed. It’s a much better alternative to coffee mate or any of those popular creamer which have a lot of processed additives, including high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, artificial chemicals, etc. This is also only 2.99!
Flowers and Plants
I love to get weekly flowers for my home, and I’ve found that Trader Joes has the best price in town for beautiful and fresh flower bouquets and even plants! They have such a big variety that you can also build your own and mix and match smaller ones. Next time you stop by, make sure to pick up some up and check out their floral section.
Trader Joes Seasonal Items
I love to check out Trader Joes seasonal items or one-time releases. I love it when they bring out items like their Brazil nut body butter cream during the summer. During spring, I’m a big fan of their shortbread that can be eaten with strawberries and some nice cool whip cream. During the holidays, they bring out their mini pumpkin spiced pretzels and their pumpkin cream chesse that are to die for. They also have a great pumpkin butter body cream that smells delightful. All of their season stuff is worth checking out, I don’t really think it can disappoint.
Happy Easter, may you have a blessed day with your family, and may the spirit of Easter fill your home today and every day.
