The Best Trader Joe Products

Trader Joe’s is well-known as one of the best grocery stores around. Even so, we know that it’s hard to figure out what to put in your shopping cart. It isn’t always easy to trust new and unusual flavors.

Below you will find some of our favorite products. Don’t take our word for it, head over to the nearest Trader Joes to see for yourself! These Trader Joe finds will not disappoint.

PS. Even though the line at Trader Joe’s may be long during this Pandemic, the employees spend all of their time and energy, making sure their customers are comfortable. You can find them passing out waters as the customers wait their turn and answer questions through the daily rushes. You cannot get this kind of service anywhere else.

3. Mac and Cheese Bites

When you feel like a satisfying snack without all the work, these Mac and Cheese Bites are the perfect go-to option. Pop them in the toaster for 5 minutes (or longer if you like them extra crispy) and devour! Remember, make sure you wait a couple of minutes before digging.

5. Chocolate Lava Gnocchi

One of the best things about Trader Joes is all of the innovative and absolutely delicious products they come up with. Think of this product as tiny little lava cakes, but better. Fry these up with a little bit of clarified butter-your tastebuds will explode.

Bursting with cocoa flavor, you will never want to go back to savory gnocchi again. Just when you think it couldn’t get any better, you’ll notice the delectable hazelnut flavor perfectly balanced throughout every bite. Out of all of our favorite Trader Joe finds, this is in our top five.

6.Flowers

9. Milk and Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Popcorn

Once you try these, you won’t be able to stop eating them. Because they’re so small and some of them are dark chocolate, it is easy to explain away your addiction. These nuggets of goodness are too scrumptious to pass up.  We may be doing you a favor or a disservice. You be the judge. To us, this is one of the best Trader Joe finds out there.

10. Outside In Stuffed Gnocchi

Follow the directions on the box and let your imagination run wild.

This is, without a doubt one of the best Trader Joe finds on the list.

11. Everything But The Elote

If you’ve ever had Mexican street corn, this is that in a seasoning. Like the everything bagel seasoning, you can also put this on eggs, popcorn, veggies, and meats, Make your own Mexican street corn, creamed corn, and more.

Allow this seasoning to inspire, and you let your imagination run wild. The best thing about Trader Joe’s is all of the adaptions and experiments that are created from such quality products. Everything But The Elote is a perfect example of this.

12. Joe-Joe’s Chocolate Vanilla Creme Cookies

“No Hydrogenated Oils. All Natural Flavors. Real Vanilla Bean Speckles.”

These cookies are like Oreos but better. Forget about all of the processed and artificial ingredients that come from such a mass-produced product like Oreos. These Vanilla Creme Cookies have everything down to real vanilla beans in the recipe. Do you understand that there is a vanilla bean shortage in our world? And still, Joe-Joe’s comes through and provides us with the best.
