Everything Crackers: 8/10⠀ ⠀ These crackers are very reminiscent of everything but the bagel seasoning, but a little more underwhelming flavor wise. The garlic, onion, and salt flavors are subtle and make for a very unique cracker flavor. I loved these with cheddar or just snacking on their own. The box is $2.49. ⠀ ⠀ … Read more
Manchego Anejo: 8/10 Trader Joe’s Manchego Anejo cheese is aged for a year (anejo means it has been aged a year or longer FYI) and is buttery, smooth, and has the perfect hint of nuttiness. This semi-firm cheese has a subtle taste that lingers. It pairs perfectly with figs, apricots, apples, or on a ham … Read more
Chili Lime Chicken Burgers: 7.5/10 These burgers have very clean ingredients which I love! They are Whole30 approved 👏🏻 You can taste exactly what is in them (lime juice, chili flakes, onions, etc). So delicious and clean! My favorite way to cook them up is with chili onion crunch on top, homemade guacamole, and a … Read more
Crunchy Almond Butter: 8/10 This is a solid almond butter with the only ingredient being almonds. Compared to the mixed nut butter, the almond butter is way thicker, crunchier, but not as rich and flavorful. Still a wonderful almond butter I will be buying again for apple dipping, almond butter and jam toast, and drizzled … Read more
Turkish Apricots: 6.5/10 Unfortunately, the apricots in the bag were too hit or miss to give a higher score than 6.5. Some apricots were super sweet and flavorful, while some were leathery and had little to no flavor. The sweeter ones tasted almost like butterscotch. These were a great snack to try on Whole30, but … Read more
Cheese Bites: 8/10 Wow these little bites are flavorful! These cheese bites are made out of only CHEESE. They are high in protein, low in carbs, and make for the perfect snack or topping on salad or soups. To me, they taste just like a crouton but cheesy and bold. The pouch is $2.69. Have … Read more
Plantain Chips: 8.5/10 These won Best Snack for the Trader Joe’s Customer Choice Awards this year! And for good reason 😋 These plantain chips are cooked in sunflower oil and then dusted with salt and are an addicting crunchy snack. They are like potato chips but a little sweeter and with less fat. I could … Read more
Freeze Dried Grapes: 7/10 I liked these the same as I liked the freeze dried blueberries. The grapes were very sweet and I could tell they were freeze dried at peak ripeness. They tasted like jolly ranchers and crystallized sugar. One major drawback of these freeze dried products is that they are pricy for not … Read more
No Joke Ginger Shot: 8/10 Cold and Flu season is officially in full swing. I don’t know about you, but everyone around me is dropping like flies! I’m keeping my fridge stocked full of these. Let’s be clear, this shot doesn’t taste like a delicious lemonade. It has a bite to it, but that’s why … Read more
Montezuma’s 100% Dark Chocolate: 2/10 I tried a bite, and spat it out. This chocolate tastes like a salty crayon in my opinion. It is extremely bitter and does not have a hint of sweetness to it because it is 100% cocoa solids. Each to their own, but this is not a chocolate bar I’ll … Read more
