Trader Joe’s Favorites March 2019

We LOVE Trader Joe’s!

I love it because it has great, healthy options for meals, snacks and treats (my favorite dark chocolate!!) at great prices. The kids love it because we buy their favorite snacks, they have tasters and they get stickers at the end of each trip 🙂

Here is a list of some of our most recent favorites with some added “Oldies but Goodies in there, too!

 

Dry Roasted & Salted Mixed Nuts (50% Less Salt)

• I love having different kinds of nuts around the house when I need an afternoon snack- such a healthy snack
• I usually prefer unsalted but this mix is not too salty
• A little pricey but lasts for a while if it is used as a pre-lunch snack or afternoon pick-me-up
• TJ’s has great to-go trail mix options in small grab-n-go bags, too

Cheddar Rockets

• These are a definite go-to in our house
• Much less salty than goldfish
• They go fast so if you don’t go to TJs often, grab an extra box!
  Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers
• ORGANIC
• The kids LOVE this snack and I like that it has a little more substance than some other snack foods
  Organic Spicy Avocado Hummus
• ORGANIC
• So good and versatile – can eat with chips, crackers, pita chips or as a spread on a sandwich or burger
• Not too spicy but has a great kick100% Whole Wheat Middle Eastern Flatbread
• This has become a staple in our house
• We like to eat it with melted cheese in the panini maker, rolled up with turkey, dipped in hummus, or as a side to many different dishes
• Good source of fiber
  10 Minute Farro
• Delicious and healthy side dish
• Really only takes 10 minutes to make
• Cooking it in chicken broth or chicken stock adds a really nice flavor
  Thai Yellow Curry Sauce
• We recently tried this for the first time and we were very pleased!
• We usually only eat Thai food for take out so it was fun to try a different flavor for a home cooked meal
• Used the sauce in our Wok with the pre-cut stir fry veggies at TJs (added a lot of extra broccoli) and chicken that I had previously made in the crock pot
  Rainbow Carrots
• Rainbow carrots are a great way to make veggies a little more fun
• Fun way to practice colors
• Sometimes we think they even taste better than the plain orange carrots 🙂
  Organic Pops
• These are one of Sophie’s favorite treat
• Great because it is something easy to keep in your purse that will not melt in the warm months

Pancake Bread

• We’ve never actually bought this but it is my kids’ favorite taster- and it is pretty delicious!
• Great for a last minute hostess gift or to take to any kind of group with a breakfast potluck
• Cut into pieces or bite size squares
