We Tried Trader Joe’s Ube Mochi Ice Cream

If you're a fan of Trader Joe's ube ice cream or Ube Mochi cake mix, you've probably been waiting for TJ's to bring the two together. Well, now, it's here: Trader Joe's Ube Mochi Ice Cream. The mochi is thinner and stretchier on these than the other mochi ice cream I've had from TJ's. Not…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Hold the Dairy Mini Cones

It looks like Trader Joe's is in the business of making dreams come true with their Hold the Dairy Mini Cones. Because while they will make vegans happy, they're also gonna make a lot of people who just can't do dairy happy, too. I think we all laughed a little when the serving size…

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 Corn and Cheese Arepas

Trader Joe's Corn and Cheese Arepas. They come two to a box, individually wrapped, and I opted to bake them in the oven. I should have gone the stovetop route to get that nice browning on them. And I know you're gonna ask...yes, you can probably throw these in the air fryer and get better…

What to do with Trader Joe’s Matcha Noodles (aka Soba)

I don't typically buy green tea soba, even at the Japanese market, but when I saw it at Trader Joe's, I figured why not. I tend to make cold noodle dishes and salads with soba, though of course you can use them in soups and stir fries. Yakisoba is basically a Japanese version of chow…

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…
