Trader Joe's Vegetarian Items

Trader Joe's Mediterranean Style Orzo Pasta Salad | Mrs. Trader Joe's
Price : $4.99 I enjoyed this but it didn’t knock my socks off. I got two servings out of this and paired it with some grilled chicken. There were plenty of sun dried tomatoes and olives which I liked, but the olives overpowered the whole salad. Luckily I love olives! There definitely wasn’t enough dressing, so that probably helped the olives be the star of the show. I liked this but I wouldn’t grab for it again before trying other options!
Trader Joe's Sparkling Watermelon Juice | Mrs. Trader Joe's
Price : $3.99 This was my first time trying this seasonal product and I enjoyed it! It wasn’t overly sweet and has zero added sugar. The watermelon flavor wasn’t too strong but tasted a tad artificial (in my opinion), which is weird considering it’s 100% watermelon juice. I’m not too mad about it though because it was super refreshing and I drank it quite quickly. Overall, I enjoyed this and would get it again. I can’t wait to try the strawberry juice next!
Trader Joe's Fruity Gummy Candies | Mrs. Trader Joe's
Price : $1.99 Finally, gummies with the flavors listed on the packaging! It’s always a guessing game with TJ’s gummies and their flavor choices. I really liked the variety of flavors and how they chose ones that aren’t normally featured. I found them to be really hard to chew though, which is why I took points off. Overall, I enjoyed these but they wouldn’t be my first choice. Am I the only one who found them really tough?!
Trader Joe's Crisp Crunchy Crisps | Mrs. Trader Joe's
Price : $2.69 This might be a new favorite of mine. These crisps are so light and airy that I couldn’t stop eating them! I’d consider these to be plain with only a little hint of sea salt. I actually really enjoyed the plainness because that allowed the pea flavor to shine. Of course, if you don’t like peas, steer clear of this. The pea flavor is prominent, but what do you expect when these are made of peas? A serving size is 17 chips, which I love!
Trader Joe's Dill Pickle Mustard
Price : $1.69 Never did I ever think I’d be reviewing mustard that’s infused with pickles! I love all types of mustards so I had really high hopes for this product. I’m so glad that TJ’s created this concoction because I don’t think I’ll ever go back to using plain yellow mustard ever again. My sandwich tasted like pickles, yet the plot twist is = I didn’t add any pickles. There are actual pickle pieces in the mustard which I really like.
Trader Joe's Popcorn in a Pickle | Mrs. Trader Joe's
Price : $1.99 Sign me up for anything pickle flavored. This is a returning spring item and is a crowd favorite (if you love pickles of course). This product definitely smells and tastes like pickles, which is obviously great. I took off one point because I would have loved MORE pickle flavor. If I had to choose, I’d pick the pickle chips over the popcorn, only because the chips pack more of a pickle punch... or pickle *chazzle dazzle* you could say. Do you prefer the popcorn or the chips?!
Trader Joe's Caprese Ravioli | Mrs. Trader Joe's
Price : $4.49 I loved these ravs! Since they have caprese flavors, I thought it would be appropriate to pair them with the iconic balsamic glaze and some extra basil. This pairing was the definition of *chazzle dazzle*! I don’t normally enjoy tomato sauces (unless it’s my grammas) so the toto filling was a perfect amount for me. I’d imagine these would be underwhelming if I had topped it with more sauce, so I’d highly recommend the balsamic glaze.
Trader Joe's Sparkling Watermelon Lemonade Water | Mrs. Trader Joe's
Price : $3.99 Basically, this is the sparkling watermelon juice without the sugar. At least that’s what it reminded me of! I like sparkling water so I really enjoyed shaking it up with this seasonal flavor. I took off one point because there wasn’t much of a lemonade flavor. The watermelon is definitely the star of the show, which I’m not mad at but I would have loved some more lemon. What’s your favorite sparkling water?!
Trader Joe's Non-Dairy Chocolate Fudge Oat Bar | Mrs. Trader Joe's
Price : $3.49 This gives me major fudgsicle vibes and I’m HERE for it! I’m so impressed by how creamy this is for being nondairy. These bars could definitely be more chocolatey, but it’s still delicious. You get 4 bars for $3.49 which is a great price for a vegan and gluten free product! I’ll definitely be getting these again. These kinds of products are my favorite because I can eat one bar and be satisfied, versus shoveling a whole carton of ice cream down my throat. Will you be trying this?!
Trader Joe's Southern Peach Crisp Ice Cream | Mrs. Trader Joe's
Price : $2.99 I’m really torn on this ice cream. Don’t get me wrong, it’s delicious... but this does not embody anything peach. The ice cream definitely isn’t peach flavored and the “puree” is so muted that I actually couldn’t even tell it was peach. The oat crisp was the best part, but it wasn’t great enough for me to want to buy this again.
Trader Joe's
Price : $2.99 This is one of my favorite salad kits! I love every component of this salad, especially the dressing. I wish they sold it separately because it would probably take the cake as my favorite dressing ever. The nuttiness of the almonds pair perfectly with the saltiness of the Parmesan cheese, and the spiciness of the arugula. I’m a huge fan of arugula, but obviously someone who dislikes the taste may have a different review!
Trader Joe's Chocolate & Peanut Butter Joe Joe’s | Mrs. Trader Joe's
Price : $2.99 There’s nothing I love more than taking cookies and turning them into another cookie! I used the Joe Joe’s to elevate my chocolate cookies this week, and it did not disappoint! Here is the recipe if you are interested! I really enjoyed the balance of peanut butter and chocolate. Shockingly, I didn’t find the peanut butter to be too much. While these were tasty, I wish more than one was a serving size.
Trader Joe's Crispy Jalapeño Pieces | Mrs. Trader Joe's
Price : $2.99 I never knew I needed these jalapeño pieces in my life until now. I’m a huge fan of jalapeños, yet I wasn’t intrigued by this product given I have a few jalapeño plants that produce a lot! Well, I caved. There were too many raving reviews so I tried it and I have absolutely no regrets! They were spicy and really crispy. I’ve put these on sandwiches, salads (to replace croutons) and most recently, cornbread.
