The Best Frozen Foods at Trader Joe’s
Edamame
As one reader noted, you get a lot of bang for your buck with this frozen bag.
Mango and Cream Bars
At just 60 calories a pop, these make for a delicious and guilt-free dessert.
Meatless Meatballs
“Low fat, high protein, tasty” one reader says.
Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Tip from a reader: This frozen dip is the perfect thing to stock in your freezer for a quick appetizer.
Vegetable Bird’s Nests
Don’t let the name turn you off: These bundles of veggies just look like a bird’s nest, hence the name.
The Best Not-Frozen Foods at Trader Joe’s
Almond Butter
If you’re anything like us, you love yourself some almond butter on apples (and toast and, well, anything!), and apparently, Trader Joe’s almond butter is great.
Artichoke Antipasto
One reader uses this antipasto spread on homemade pizzas! Mmm.
Cinnamon Apple Snack Sticks
Great for satisfying a sweet snack craving.
Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds with Sea Salt and Turbinado Sugar
One reader said these and the White Cheddar Popcorn tied for the best thing in the Trader Joe’s aisles. I’d say, sounds like the perfect salty and sweet combo.

Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
“The best,” one reader says.
Ready to Bake Pizza Dough
Homemade pizza night just got a whole lot easier, thanks to this pre-made pizza dough.
Rustico Bread
Grain and seed lovers, rejoice: This multigrain bread is made with flax, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and rolled oats.
Soy Creamer
A good soy coffee creamer is hard to come by, but one reader says Trader Joe’s has one of the best out there.
Speculoos Cookie Butter
Be warned: This stuff is dangerously good.
Tikka Masala Simmer Sauce
This ready-made sauce makes whipping up Indian food at home easy as pie.
White Cheddar Popcorn
Best paired with a Netflix marathon.
