The 10 Best Snacks at Trader Joe’s (and Therefore, in the Universe)
Our red-hot love for our imaginary boyfriend Trader Joe knows no bounds. He keeps our fridge fully stocked with delicious cheese, he brings canned wine to the beach, and he’s always showering us with gorgeous (and actually affordable) peonies. Here are ten more reasons our love for TJs is eternal. (Hint: snacks.)
1.
Just a Handful of Rainbow’s End Trail Mix
OK, most grocery stores carry trail mix. But are the little pieces of candy completely natural and colored with turmeric, spirulina and radish powder? We thought not.
Trader Joe’s ($4.99)
2.
Cold Brew Latte Dessert Bars
Our new addiction. Why drink coffee in the morning when you could just slurp one of these guys?
Trader Joe’s ($1.99)
3.
Reduced Guilt Chunky Guacamole
We never met a guac we didn’t like, but this lightened-up version made with Greek yogurt is the clear winner. (Best paired with TJ’s white corn tortilla chips.)
Trader Joe’s ($3.79)
4.
Strawberry Champagne Truffles
They’re not always available, but we refuse to ring in the New Year without these effervescent, bite-size sweets.
Trader Joe’s ($4.49)
5.
Candy Cane Joe-Joe’s
Another seasonal favorite. The traditional Joe-Joe’s (think Oreos but way tastier) are great, but when you add crunchy candy cane pieces to the filling, it’s next-level delicious.
Trader Joe’s ($2.99)
6.
Spinach and Kale Greek Yogurt Dip
Don’t tell anyone, but we’ve been known to finish an entire container of this addictive dip in one sitting. Try it with veggie sticks, chips or scooped on top of a salad.
Trader Joe’s ($3.99)
7.
Breaded Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
Three words: middle school nostalgia. Try them with TJ’s organic tomato basil marinara.
Trader Joe’s ($3.99)
8.
Mini Cinnamon Sugar Churros
Warning. You might—no, will—eat the entire bag. Just go with it.
Trader Joe’s ($3.99)
9.
Scandinavian Swimmers
TJ’s (soft, delightfully fruity) answer to Swedish Fish. We can’t resist the cute little seahorses.
