After sharing my top 5 Trader Joe’s finds a few months ago (see that post here), I received such great feedback I thought I would share another Trader Joe’s related post with new finds. With new discoveries each time I visit the store, this could turn into a quarterly series! As I mentioned in my last Trader Joe’s post, I usually don’t find my weekly groceries at TJ’s. I use it more for speciality products and snacks. I find it difficult to shop there for “everyday items” because they might not always have, for example, asparagus in stock. However, if I am looking for snacks and other non-staples, Trader Joe’s is great. Here is another Trader Joe’s haul: 6 new finds.

Trader Joe’s Organic Sliced Apples

Apples are one of my favorite fruits, but I hate cutting them up! While browsing Trader Joe’s, I discovered these apple slices that became the ultimate game-changer. I love eating these as a healthy snack (especially with peanut butter!) and they take more than a few days to turn brown. I usually finish the bag in about 2-3 days (I’m obsessed!) and I love how easy it is to grab them out of the refrigerator. No cutting necessary!

Trader Joe’s BAMBA Peanut Snacks

Speaking of peanut butter, these peanut butter puffs are DANGEROUS. I have shared my love for peanut butter countless times here on ABM, but these take my love to peanut butter to a new level. The consistency and texture is similar to that of cheese puffs, but they are peanut butter flavored! And surprisingly, they are not terrible for you. Be careful though, I could probably eat the entire bag in one sitting. Actually, just last week, I ate about half of the bag without evening realizing it! You have been warned!

Trader Joe’s Southwestern Chopped Salad

I love anything with a southwestern flavor, so when I saw this bag of salad, I knew I had to give it a try. Complete with all the toppings, including cojita cheese, tortilla strips and a delicious avocado dressing, this salad has been one of my favorite packable lunches lately. It’s easy to dump in a to-go container and take to work, it’s filling and the flavors are delicious. In the same section, you will also find the Mediterranean version of this chopped salad. It is just as good! I highly recommend both. I am always look for quick and easy lunch ideas to take to work and this one fits the bill.

Trader Joe’s Lemon Pepper Pappardelle Pasta

One of my favorite sections at Trader Joe’s is the pasta section. There are so many kinds of pasta to pick from and you can’t beat the prices. I discovered this lemon pepper pasta a few weeks ago and it was delicious. It’s a great way to elevate your everyday pasta dish. Check back next week when I share how I cook this delicious and flavorful pasta!

Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend

Everything bagels, minus the carbs! We have already been through one container of this seasoning, so needless to say it’s a hit! It really does taste like you are enjoying an everything bagel, the ingredients are spot on. You can add this seasoning to anything you like, but my favorite way is to add it to my scrambled eggs.

Trader Joe’s Roasted & Salted Truffle Marcona Almonds

I dare you to not eat the entire package. These almonds are ridiculously addictive. While most of the time I eat them as a mid-day snack or when I get home from work, these would also be great to serve with a cheese plate at a party! The truffle flavor is intense (in a good way, as long as you are a fan of truffle!) and is one of my all-time favorite snacks. Also available in a rosemary flavor that is just as delicious.
