Hello, Hello!
Trader Joe's is hands down my favorite grocery store! They carry lots of gluten free, vegan and kosher items at superb prices. They also make a ton of exclusive Trader Joe's brand items as well.
Earlier this week I read an "article" like this on Facebook, I can't remember if it was from Buzz Feed or from Southern Magazine. I loved the idea so I wanted to share my favorite picks.
Here are 10 items you must try! These are items I always buy 2 of 3 of when I go just so I can have one on stand by. They are that good I promise!
All of the items listed are Trader Joe's exclusives.
#1. Non-Dairy Chocolate Ice Cream
This stuff is dangerous but worth it! It's so good! I know your thinking, "I can get non-dairy ice cream from anywhere", yes you can, but not for $3.00! It comes in strawberry and chocolate. It is so creamy! You would never know it was vegan!
#2: Coconut Cold Brew Coffee
Amazing! It is so strong and flavorful. I typically do mine over ice with the So Delicious coconut creamer in french vanilla! This seriously gives Starbucks a run for its money!
#3: Vanilla Almond Spiced Chai
This lil baby is yummy and very popular! Oh, and it is vegan and packs 8 grams of protein. Awesome for breakfast on the go or a post workout treat!
#4: Fig Butter
Ooooh chile! Go on ahead and call me the plug! Lol. This stuff is seriously delicious. What I do is buy some croissants, toast them up and spread this stuff all over it! Bomb!
#5: Sesame Honey Cashews
If you love nuts like I do, you will die when you try these. As if cashews aren't addictive enough on their own. These are just next level crack head good! My husband and I will go through a bag in like 3 days. Its pretty bad.
#6: Sweet Potato Gnocchi
These are like a date night side dish type of deal. My husband loves sweet potato so these really were a hit with him. We don't eat meat but these would be awesome for a side dish for a steak dinner. If you wanna impress your bae these will do it! Super simple to make too! We normally will have this with veggies like green beans or squash and a salad.
#7: Pre-chopped Asparagus with Onion and Mushrooms
Dont judge me! I know this seems super lazy. Buying pre-chopped veggies, but blame my man! Lol, he was the one to discover these. He is not a skilled chef so he makes a veggie fried rice stir fry with these like once a week and its my favorite thing he makes!
#8: Vegetable Spring Rolls
I work late, so when I get home I will pop these in the oven for a late night snack! I crave egg rolls. Weird, I know. These always quinch my craving. Have your own duck sauce though because these have no dipping sauce included. Whomp, whomp.
#9: Coconut Body Butter
If you know me, then you know I am addicted to body butter. I rarely ever use lotion. Its just not thick enough. Summer or winter, I use body butters year round. Being ashy is just not cute on me lol. This one is really really good! It has subtle coconut fragrance and a good creamy thick texture. It does not leave your skin shiny which I really like. That is a sign that it absorbing into the skin and not sitting on top of the skin. 10 stars based off my body butter bible!
#10: Reggiano Lambrusco
I am by no means a wine expert! I drink cheap wine y'all! I like what I like! Lambrusco can be found anywhere but I have only seen this brand at Trader Joe's. It is a sparkling red wine. Soundsbourgeoisie boujee but it is only $5.00 or $6.00 a bottle. I was in charge of wine for my best friends bridal shower and I bought some bottles of this and it was a hit! If you are new to wine, I highly recommend this! Great sweet flavor! Not dry at all!
I have a ton more items that I love from Trader Joe's, so I will be doing another post as fall approaches! Trader Joe's can be found all over the US. They are not your typical southern grocery store. They have awesome prices, selections and customer service! Check them out!
