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 Vanilla Almond Granola (vegan)
This is my son’s favorite cereal, but it’s a little too sweet and rather monotone for my tastes. I prefer the granola that have some dried fruit for color and taste. However, this does have a nice crunch and makes a good layer in yogurt parfaits and also works really well as an ice cream […]
Trader Joe’s Giant White Beans (vegan)
These beans are a filling and savory snack that earn 3 pineapples in my house, but may not in yours. The beans are in a mild, slightly sweet tomato based sauce. Both my son and I have been known to eat these right out of the jar. However, I suspect that the texture of this […]
Trader Joe’s Roasted Garlic Hummus (vegan)
This hummus has a nice texture and flavor. My only complaint is that like all TJ’s hummus containers, there’s a large indentation in bottom so there’s much less hummus than you anticipate. Location: Chilled case, usually near the produce section Quantity: 7 oz tub, 7 servings per container Calories: 50 calories per serving, 25 calories […]
Trader Joe’s Japanese Fried Rice (vegan)
Trader Joe’s Japanese Style Fried Rice is a satisfying side dish that serves as a starting point for a tasty and easy meal. 3 pineapples for this flavorful rice mix. This dish is comprised of a rice base with a small amount of edamame, carrot and tofu and a savory sauce. The shredded tofu gives […]
Trader Joe’s Middle East Feast (vegan)
Trader Joe’s Middle East Feast is a satisfying lunch plate. 3 pineapples for this excellent value. This “feast” contains hummus, tabouli, falafel, pita bread and tahini. It’s too much food (and calories) for one person, but not enough for 2. I usually split this and make a salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, garbanzo beans and […]
Super Spinach Salad (vegan)
This salad reminds me of the Squash & Quinoa Salad in that it has a lot of different ingredients that I wouldn’t have necessarily put together – quinoa, carrots, cranberries, chickpeas, edamame, tomatoes and pumpkin seeds. However, it works pretty well and is one of the few vegan salad options in the prepared foods case. […]
Trader Joe’s Edamame Hummus (vegan)
TJ’s Roasted Garlic Hummus was my favorite until I discovered this Edamame Hummus. Not only is the flavor good, but the texture is sort of whipped. I always intend to make a nice hummus plate or wrap with this, but so far have ended up eating it straight from the container. Location: Refrigerated section, usually near produce […]
Trader Joe’s Vegetable Biryani with Vegetable Dumplings (vegan)
The photo on the box is really misleading. They show nearly all the dumplings, but only about 1/4 of the rice so you assume there are a lot of dumplings. In reality, the dish is mostly rice. However, the flavor is really good and the extra rice comes in handy. Just move the dumplings to […]
Trader Joe’s Black Bean & Corn Enchiladas (vegan)
Trader Joe’s black bean and corn enchiladas is one of my favorite frozen food items. This item appears to be identical to the Amy’s brand version, except for the packaging. 4 pineapples, plus bonus points for organic main ingredients and low price! These enchiladas are made from corn tortillas, filled with beans, corn, tofu, zucchini, […]
