First time I’ve seen these at my store. No two containers had the same variety of tomatoes so fun to look for the most unique ones. Not quite as flavorful as I’d hoped, but still a nice summer treat and a great value. Location: fresh produce section Quantity: 16 oz Calories: not provided Cost: $2.99
Trader Joe’s Organic Superfood Pilaf (vegan)
From the name alone you know this is going to be super healthy – like vegan retreat in an old growth forest healthy! Fortunately, this pilaf is also pretty tasty. All the pieces have distinct tastes and textures. The kale is bright green and the sweet potatoes aren’t too mushy so someone got the freezing […]

Honestly, most soy milk tastes the same to me so I don’t have a strong preference on type or flavor. However, I do like the fact that this one is organic and low fat. I also keep a carton of shelf-stable soy milk in my pantry in case I run out of this one midweek. […]

Trader Joe’s Organic Mixed Medley Cherry Tomatoes (vegan)
Convenient, handy and colorful. I eat these as a snack and add them to salads and pasta. My store always has these, but the assortment changes a bit throughout the year.

I buy this tofu with the intent of adding it to soups, salads, and stir frys. However, at least half the […]
