10 Best Trader Joe’s Items

1. Trader Joe’s Organic Mango Passion Granola 
Each serving has four grams of fiber, six grams of protein and an utter lack of things like cholesterol, trans fats and artificials. The clusters of oats give it a satisfying, substantive crunch and the mango pieces provide a sweet-tart chew – enough to evoke a good deal of passion among its admirers.

2. Trader Joe’s Multigrain British Muffins
Not only do they have all the great taste and convenience of English muffins, they also boast a good dose of multigrain nuttiness. Each British Muffin contains much more fiber than the average English muffin.

3. Trader Joe’s Steelcut Oatmeal (found in frozen section.)

4. Trader Joe’s Greek Style Nonfat Yogurt 
It features the creaminess you expect from Greek-style yogurt and is made with the milk of cows not treated with rBST. It’s also higher in protein than most yogurt—each eight ounce serving has 22 grams of protein!

5. Trader Joe’s Peanut Butter Filled Pretzels
These pillow-like nuggets have the perfect balance of crunchy pretzel and smooth peanut butter.

6. Trader Joe’s Chicken Gyoza Potstickers (found in the frozen section.)
Steam, boil or fry Trader Joe’s MSG-free potstickers for a super-easy meal. Serve over rice with a splash of soy sauce or toss into some chicken broth for a simple soup.

7. Trader Joe’s Organic Tomato & Roasted Pepper Soup 
It’s a velvety smooth concoction with a subtle tomato base. Its depth of flavor comes from the flavorful spices and the slightly sweet finish is courtesy of the roasted red bell peppers.

8. Joe’s Diner Mac ‘n Cheese (found in the frozen section.)

9. Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
They’re bite-sized cups, just big enough to make you want another one. The size of the package is ideal for gift giving, and it’s also very helpful for portion control.
