-natural peanut butter...I go through a jar every couple of weeks...eat it with everything!
-50% salt almonds and raw almonds...I like both
-coffee...the french roast, bay blend, and pinon are all good. The Joe is not. YMMV.
-canned salmon
-frozen skinless chicken breasts
-their feta cheese is really good...good selection of cheese in general at good prices
-coconut flour
-stevia is a good price here (I like stevia, not everybody does)
If you do eat sugar, here are a couple more:
-72% cacao dark chocolate - actually very little sugar, and very good quality
-I don't buy them anymore, but I used to buy their mochi. If you can limit your consumption (I had a hard time, which is why I no longer eat them or other sugary things!), they are very good and 100 calories each if you do want a sweet treat. The green tea and mango are especially good...but all mochi are good
What I DON'T but there (usually):
- you can find better prices and quality on fresh produce other places. I occasionally buy their bagged apples, but that's about it.
I LOVE the mochi. But I used to eat the whole box, so yeah...0 -
I think I eat a salad from there at least 2-3 times a week. The Citrus Chicken salad is only 220 calories and 13 g protein, and delish! Kind of a sweet and sour Thai dressing. Great for days when you are high on calories but hungry! The Chopped House salad is another fav.
Staples:
Peanut butter!
Inner Peas
Coffee
Cilantro Jalapeno hummus - good with the multigrain chips
sliced swiss cheese (so much more flavor!)
Orange vinegar (not the right name)
gyoza
orange chicken
sparkling water
green matcha tea powder for shakes
Coconut oil - the red palm oil is good too, but a definite "flavor"
corn bread mix (add some protein powder and it is like a dessert)
Trader Darwin's protein powder-vanilla (see above)
truffle brownie mix. Oh. My. Gosh. you have been warned!0 -
OK someone please fill me in (I'm from Canada). What is Trader Joe's? Is it like a company or a grocery store or both?
Kinda both. It is a grocery store that sells tons of its "own" products -- i.e., TJ's sources product from a variety of suppliers and rebrands them as Trader Joe's brand (or Trader Giotto's in the case of Italian treats, Trader Jose's in the case of Mexican, etc.) Generally reasonably priced, and often hard-to-find sorts of things than commonly available at a more traditional US grocery chain.

The store by me has frozen poutine. It isn't as good as fresh, but it's pretty great. I also really like Inner Peas, and their cheese selection is great.0

Cinnamon crumpets, the soy yogurt is soooo good, no sodium wheat bread, almond butter, organic cornflakes..
I really would NOT recommend the cookie butter if you're trying to lose weight, it's NOT healthy at all and people shouldn't be replacing natural pb or almond butter for a spread that's made out of crushed cookies, sugar, and palm oil. Plus, a serving is one tbsp i believe? which is 95 calories and basically no nutrition0 -
Hatch Green Chile salsa, because it burns so good
Hatched Chiles diced in can - See above
Roasted red peppers - A quick add on to food
Brown rice and quinoa pasta
Cashew nuts - Break them down myself into smaller packages
Asparagus Risotto
Coconut Milk
Yes a lot of the cookie butter stuff is awesome, but it depends on your dietary restrictions (ie I'm diabetic) more than 'food is evil', but I will sometimes get a bar of their dark chocolate and make sure to ration it out.0 -
I love TJ's! My favorite staples (many of which have already been cited): their low fat cottage cheese, their garlic hummus, 50% less salt almonds AND (not everyone's cup of tea) their no salt added canned sardines in water. They're great on salads and full of protein!!0
-
Butternut squash raviolis
Tarazzu coffee
Hummus (they really do have the best around)
And also - ask an employee to show you some of the non-$2 wines under the TJ umbrella - they actually have a lot of excellent ones and the prices are always right.0 -

And not for eating, but I love the tea tree oil body wash.0 -
