My Trader Joe's Favorites

by Krista posted to Food & Drink | 7,131 views

Trader Joe's is perfect for one stop shopping. Here are the things that make it into my basket again and again.

Reduced Guilt Chunky Guacamole

This reduced guilt guacamole has only 2g fat per serving as it's made with Greek yogurt. Fantastic!

Cranberry Walnut & Gorgonzola Dressing

OMIGOSH, this is SO GOOD! The serving size is 2 Tbsp but one was perfect. Low sugar content too.

Korean Buckwheat Noodle Bowl with Chicken

A new favorite, this bowl comes in at less than 200 calories without the dressing (which is not even needed with the delicious melding of flavors).

Baby Spinach

This big bag of baby spinach is a must. It's always fresh and lasts much longer than the romaine and sorrento mixes I used to buy.

Crumbled Goat Cheese

This container has four servings in it - perfect for a week of salads at work!

Dark Chocolate Nibs

The best little palette cleanser I've ever found.

Larissa: Love these too!

Hansen's Diet Black Cherry Soda

Hate that I love this, but I do! No calories and only $2.79 for six of them makes it hard to resist.

Cinnamon Sugar Grinder

Cinnamon and sugar in grinder form? Perfect on French toast, in Greek yogurt, etc. Yummy!

Laughing Cow Light Garlic & Herb Cheese

I love this spread, so happy TJ's carries it :)

Bacon Cheddar Ranch Dip

1 Save

An evil genius created this, I don't let myself buy it but loved it so much when I had it at a party!

Chicken Gyoza Potstickers

1 Save

These potstickers are my new obsession (thanks Eden!). You can enjoy seven of them for 200 cals/4.5 grams of fat and they lend themselves perfectly to a side of brown rice (or greens if you're carb concious). Great flavor!

Satay Peanut Sauce

I just tried this for the first time with shirataki noodles as an alternative to pad thai - it was surprisingly good!

Spicy Black Bean Dip

Love this stuff on my chicken sandwiches or with chips.

Roasted Chicken Patties

I had these over the weekend on whole wheat buns and they are delicious! Highly recommend them as a burger alternative.

Enchilada Sauce

1 Save

I used this as a dressing on a bed of greens with tomato and grilled chicken because I'm strange...but it's tasty, low fat and not terribly high in calories!

Protein Shake (chocolate)

1 Save

21 grams of protein and low sugar make these a delicious dessert or healthy afternoon snack.

Veggie Bacon Strips

These are surprisingly good, I usually eat three pieces (even though the serving size is two) for 90 calories with egg whites or in a BLT style sandwich.

Whole Wheat Pita Bread

This stuff is really good, especially with the spicy hummus.

Buffalo Style Chicken Wrap

So tasty - I don't even use the dressing. A half makes a great lunch (230 cal/12 fat) with a simple side of mixed greens. Yummy :)

Organic Agave Blue Nectar

An alternative to honey, you can use this super sweet organic nectar sparingly on waffles, in greek yogurt, etc.
