What Yummy Healthy foods do you enjoy from Trader Joes?

Hmm, where do I start...... I really like their frozen quinoa. It is a mid-week staple in our house for when we get home late and don't want to "cook" 3 1/2 minutes in the microwave and done.

I also like their plain chicken strips similar to Purdue's but it tastes real and not like chemicals. I take a whole package 1lb to work for the week and eat it over 4 days. That way I know I'm averaging 4 oz. per day of chicken (protein). I'm counting calories (1300 calories) and protein (100gms) per day.

I also like their plain greek yogurt. Like the chicken I take the large tub to work each week and bring some sort of fruit to mix in. Add a pack of stevia and that is my afternoon snack.

We also enjoy making pizza with their pizza dough and adding healthy "stuff" as toppings.

Hope that's a good start for you

I haven't tried anything from there I didn't like! My mom got me into their stuff, and I even walked through there once to help pick out foods for meals(sometimes I used to go over to her house to have supper-now I just stick to being at my house and having supper). I like their French Onion Soup, and their pizza dough. Good stuff. I love the fact that they have mochi! That's my favourite Japanese dessert when I go out to Japanese restaurants that serve it/have it on the menu.

Hi absolutely love the indian tikka chicken. And tandoori chicken .. It's in the frozen food section. Take a look there so many wonderful salsas like cactus salsa.... Incredible... Have fun

In our regular, once a month or so, TJ haul:

Haricots verts (little, tender green beans)

Flat leaf parsley (which we can't get in our usual grocery

Nuts (best selection anywhere)

Bagels (best in town which is still far from NYC quality)

80/20 ground beef (that tastes delicious for plain burgers)

Frozen petite peas (very sweet and lovely)

Pesto (in the fridge case -- not the jarred one on the shelves)

Hard grinding cheeses and some bacon cheddar (to make truly evil cheese burgers)

Light feta (which is MUCH cheaper than at the supermarket)

Cultured buttermilk (with no thickeners)

Harvest blend (Israeli couscous mixture)

Peanut butter (that has only two ingredients: peanuts, salt)

Flavored, unsweetened carbonated water

And if we limit ourselves to just those items, we've done well. We usually cave and add in some others like more breads and cheeses, the big bag of corn chips, and, if we're feeling really devil may care, the dark chocolate peanut butter cups!

Not "healthy" but DEFINITELY "yummy" I LOVE the frozen Macaroons (the sandwich ones, not the coconut flaky ones) in the Frozen section. I love them all, but if I had to pick it'd be the Vanilla flavor and the Pumpkin flavor, followed by the Pistachio, Lemon, Salt Caramel, Chocolate, Fig, Apricot, etc....LOL

Their Superfood Pilaf is great, as are the thai lime chili cashews

Since "healthy" is relative, I'll say Cocoa Swirl Cookie Butter, both the spread and the ice cream. IIFYM FTW.

Macarons....I heard there were pumpkin ones!

The pumpkin macarons are so good! Try the pumpkin spice pumpkin seeds next time you're there, they are so amazing.

Their plain, fat free greek yogurt is a protein power house. I make my smoothies with that and the designer whey protein powder you can get there. I also like their bagged organic salads - much cheaper than the regular grocery store. My cupboards always has tj's whole wheat couscous stocked and I have a freezer full of assorted tj's frozen vegetables.
