| - This is my go-to Trader Joe's since it is so close by to my apartment in Old Town Scottsdale. The workers are friendly and always helpful even if you don't ask for help but look a little confused walking around haha.
This Trader Joe's is always stocked with succulents, pretty flowers, fresh fruits, and perfectly ripe avocados. This is my healthy food go-to grocery store. Even the prepackaged foods are made with very few ingredients which makes it easy to eat healthy, and not to mention on a budget!
My usuals:
*Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches* Find this in the freezer section by all the ice creams and desserts. This is by far my favorite dessert from Trader Joe's and it's Trader Joe's brand too so you can't get it anywhere else. The cookie sandwiches are delicious yet light and not too heavy. The ice cream around the edges are rolled in tiny chocolate chips..YUM.
*King's Coconut Water* This is the best tasting coconut water that is sold in a grocery store that tastes like it's from a fresh coconut. I drink this plain out of the carton or mix it into some of my smoothies.
*Gorgonzola Gnocchi* decadent. Italian. Delicious. Tastes better than restaurant gnocchi. No joke. I add paprika to it for a little more flavor. Find this in the freezer section a little after the desserts.
*Cauliflower Crust Pizza* Trader Joe's sells plain cheese cauliflower crust pizza and just plain Cauliflower Crusts so you can put whatever toppings you want. Find this in the freezer section by all the other pizzas, appetizers, etc.
*Creamy Tomato Basil Sauce* I always keep a jar of this stocked in my fridge. It's the perfect pasta sauce to go with any type of pasta whether it's penne, fettuccine, spaghetti, rigatoni, etc. Find this next to the dry pastas.
*Riced Cauliflower* I keep this in my freezer and add it to my smoothies to make them thicker/creamier. I also make egg fried cauliflower rice with this.
*Greek Yogurt Spinach and Kale Dip* A healthier alternative to spinach and artichoke dip, but tastes just as delicious
*Dry Fruits* My favorites are the packaged dry strawberries
*Sweet Plantain Chips* I would eat this with tahini sauce when I was on whole30. So tasty and a healthy snack.
New finds:
Cauliflower Gnocchi- can gnocchi be healthy? Slightly, with cauliflower: the millennial carb substitute. Woo. Hoo.
Trader Joe's Cold Brew- strong and delicious tasting coffee. I had a cup of this one morning and was ready to conquer my day!
