We Tried Trader Joe’s Sparkling Green Tea with Pineapple Juice

Trader Joe's Sparkling Green Tea with Pineapple Juice is a new favorite. I liked the Black Tea with Peach Juice, too. Basically two ingredients -- the tea and the pineapple juice - it's totally refreshing, not super sweet and I will be restocking. I picked up a can of another brand of unsweetened sparkling green…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Vegan Cookies and Creme Bon Bons

I like Trader Joe's Vegan Cookies and Creme Bon Bons. A lot. Even more than the similar non-dairy mint ones they had around the holidays. By the time I got around to trying the mint version, the ice cream was kind of icy and the mint was just ok. Could be I waited too long…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Non-Dairy Oat Milk Fudgesicles

Trader Joe's is killing it on the vegan products lately. But I've especially been liking their ice cream-type products. I mean, the Cold Brew and Boba non-dairy dessert, the Oat Milk Strawberry Ice Cream, love 'em! And now TJ's has a non-dairy Oat Milk Fudgesicle in its freezer section. ( It's got a longer, more…

What I Did With Trader Joe’s Crispy Jalapeño Pieces

Over on Reddit r/TraderJoes someone suggested green bean casserole as a possible use for Trader Joe's Crispy Jalapeño Pieces. I have to admit, I'm not a big fan, canned green beans aren't my jam. But I thought, what about Hash Brown Casserole instead? But first, here's what you're looking for on your next…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Fruity Chewy Candy (yeah, like Starbursts)

Trader Joe's Fruity Chewy Candy definitely lives up to its name. It comes in five fruit flavors -- cherry, strawberry, lemon, raspberry and orange. And, they are definitely on the firm side of chewy. Stick-to-your-teeth chewy! I think you might want to put them in a hot car for 15-20 minutes to soften them up…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Cold Brew and Boba Non-Dairy Dessert

Remember how amazed I was about the Oat Milk Strawberry Ice Cream Trader Joe's came out with last year? So unbelievably creamy for a vegan ice cream! Well, I'll just break it to you now, Trader Joe's Cold Brew and Boba Ice Cream (ok, it's non-dairy) isn't as creamy. But! I still really liked it.…
