Here is a list of some of the best, (and sometimes healthy) tasty foods at Trader Joe's.

Couscous, Black Bean & Corn Salad

A great spring and summer pick!

Rice and Bean Chips

Light and crispy, these chips pair well with any salsa or guacamole! Love it :)

Gazpacho

How did I never try this out! Works well with any chip, especially my new fave: Rice and Bean chips

Tofu Edamame Nuggets

I just bought these on my last TJ trip looking for something without meat. Came across these in the frozen section and thought I'd give them a try. Not sure how to describe them but they are tasty! I've never been a huge Tofu can but these are great and can be cooked very quickly.

Hold the Cone

An ice cream cone with only 70 calories? Oh yes!! At $2.99 you can't go wrong with this purchase.

Krista: Dying to try this! Next trip for sure.

Chocolate Cheddar Cheese

Not sure how I felt about this cheese but it was pleasant surprise with a great taste. Great combo!

Mushroom Ravioli with Truffle Sauce

I'm always hesitant to try frozen meals that offer a "gourmet" taste but I was extremely satisfied with this dish. I've only tried it with the microwave and added some frozen vegetables. I can only image how much better is taste in a skillet.

Bird’s Nests

They make a great base that can be topped with a cooked shrimp or scallop for an interesting appetizer.

Claudia: The first time I tried it without the sauce. It makes a big difference in the taste. I'd suggest using some of the sauce, not the whole packet though.

Steamed Lentils

I just bought these the other day and they taste great. Pair it with chicken, slice of bread, veggies etc. No need to add extra seasoning. I actually enjoy them at room temperature as well.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Baking is a much healthier approach and taste just as great. I heat these up in the oven for a meal side or snack.

Holiday Decor: Cinnamon Broom

I bought this last week and love the smell it leaves in my house. Great for holiday parties!

Spicy Chai Latte

I enjoy my homemade Spicy chai lattes when I'm not in the mood to get my Starbucks fix. Taste great with their Trader Joe's vanilla soy milk.

Pear Cinnamon Cider

Mix things up a little with the flavor of pear in your cider. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy before you've even had a chance to drink it.

Chocolate Covered Panettone

A perfect treat to bring along at dinner parties!

Multi Grain Croissants

I like that these croissants because they don't require any proofing-you don't have to wait overnight to let them rise. They taste great and even better with some Nutella.

Reduced Guilt: Mac & Cheese

I recently tried out and LOVE it. I've never been a big fan of the original mac & cheese. I tend to go for the mac & cheese with breadcrumbs and more "gourmet" cheeses. But this one is guilt free so you really can't go wrong :)

jess: This is also one my favorites! It's so easy to make and the perfect snack for when you're feeling lazy.

Trader Joe's Guacamole

Absolutely delicious and borderline healthy - I'm a quacamole fiend & this tops the list! SFGATE even called it the best of the bunch!

Trader Joe's Mini Tacos

A little taste of Mexico goes a long way with these mini tacos. They're always been a hit, and they're great with other small plates. Add in some sangria and you've got a fiesta on your hands!

MorningStar Farms® Veggie Sausage Patties

I just bought these at traders joe's and love eating them with a side of egg whites. It keeps you full and satisfied. I wouldn't recommend the "tj's" brand of these patties. Definitely go with the morning star and heat in oven for crispy flavor.

 This is like the best of two worlds: butter and sugar, without the guilt of butter. Spread it on toast (perhaps with some Brie cheese or topped with your favorite fruit or seed) and you've got a very satisfying breakfast or snack!

Creamed Honey

This is just pure honey in a creamy-ish form.

 All of their flatbreads are quite tasty. We like the mushroom one and the pesto one in particular. I also must plug the package of 4 (I think) individual chocolate cakes. I forget the name, but they have the gooey fudgy center that I love.

 This is a really tasty pre-made salad at Trader Joe's. The veggies and grain are over a bed of shredded cabbage. It is very filling and definitely a new favorite.

 A recent discovery on myfavoriteeverything.com, Shanna says: These are truly Homestyle Pancakes. I would not serve them instead of my own Homemade Pancakes to guests, but I think they make an excellent quick weekday morning option topped with a little whipped cream & berries. Our Little Punks completely cleared their bowls this morning.

 At $4, it stands up pretty well with some more expensive, older cheddars. Pair it with a cheap cabernet, and it will improve the wine!

 I love this pita bread for so many reasons! I cut it open for bread on a sandwich, dip it into hummus or eat it on the side with soup. At 60 calories, I get a little "carb fix" without overindulging.

 This is in the refrigerated (not frozen) section. Delicious and particularly good if you're watching your sugar intake: 0g sugar! These are thinly sliced and fry up quickly on the stovetop over medium/medium-high heat. Tender too!
