We Tried Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Iced Tea

When I first heard about Trader Joe's Cold Brew Iced Tea, I wasn't expecting tea bags. I figured it'd be another version of the concentrate and already pre-brewed for you. With lemon powder, lemon juice and lemon oil on the ingredient list, I thought, well, this is either gonna be great or a totally sour…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Probiotic Sparkling Beverages

Although probiotic isn't really a selling point for me, I picked up Trader Joe's Probiotic Sparkling Beverages yesterday. The flavors, ginger lemon and tangerine, sounded good and at $1.99 per 12 oz. can, it's always good to have another option in place of soda. What I like about these is they aren't too sweet.…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Sparkling Tropical Lemonade

I give Trader Joe's points for actually putting tropical fruit concentrates into its Sparkling Tropical Lemonade. But the truth is, you can smell them more than you can taste them in the beverage. Like, I can smell the guava for sure, I'm iffy on pineapple or passion fruit. But bottom line, if you plug your…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Spicy Mango Lemonade

Yep, Trader Joe's Spicy Mango Lemonade is as good as you think it is! It's got a legit spicy kick (with both jalapeño puree and a hit of cayenne), so it's no joke. And it builds up on you. The mango puree tastes fresh vs. getting that tinniness that you sometimes get with canned…

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…
