If you live near a Trader Joe’s, then you’re most likely a fan! I’ve been shopping TJ’s since like forever. I still remember to this day living in North Carolina before we moved (I was like 13?) and our town was one of the first few to get a Trader Joe’s. We’ve been fans ever since! When I moved out to Lubbock for college, I went 3.5 years without one and it was tragic lol. Needless to say, I love me some TJ’s.
I’ve shared some favorites over the years but I’m finally rounding up a blog post with a recent grocery haul and sharing some snacks I buy frequently. Let me know if I should do more!
Every time I go to Trader Joe’s I go down every.single. aisle. carefully haha. I like certain pastas, different meats, and veggies there. I typically start in the fruit section and work my way around.
FROZEN Favorites:
Beef & Broccoli- Not the healthiest but so delicious. Serves just enough for Josh and I.
Bulgogi Beef fried rice- I love that this has Kimchi in it (great for your gut) and is insanely delicious. I’ll make this for lunch sometimes
Vegetable Gyoza- I love these things, perfect snack
Brown rice packets- Delicious and easy rice packets
Gruyere pizza- One of my favorites I eat the whole thing to myself
Turkey burgers- Always have on hand. Will make with a sweet potato or brown rice for lunch
Frozen vegetables (broccoli, brussels, medley’s) – frozen veggies are sometimes way easier.
Mini Beef tacos- Josh and I’s weekend snack go-to
Chicken and Cilantro potstickers- These are DELISH if you like cilantro
Frozen Strawberries and Bananas

Oat milk chocolate ice cream
