10 New Trader Joe’s Items That Just Hit Stores

I was informed yesterday in our all-staff meeting that it has been seven full months since we all started working from home. To acknowledge that milestone, I’m seeking out small wins where I can get them. My latest win? Making a wish list of 10 new items I can’t wait to try at Trader Joe’s. (Because if there’s one thing that can cheer me up, it’s the thought of a TJ’s haul in my near future.)

Here are a few items that I spotted on a few of my go-to TJ’s fan accounts and proceeded to note for future reference. (Thanks, @TraderJoesList and @TraderJoesHungry for the inspiration!)

The perfect work-from-home snack doesn’t exist — wait a minute, it does. These mini peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets are exactly what they sound like: The perfect protein/carb combo to keep you full in between lunch and dinner. They’re just like the OG ones, only smaller!

Get ready for sniffles season with this zippy ginger-miso version of chicken soup. Find it in the prepared food aisle. Then, all you have to do is heat it and eat it.

Here’s another good-for-the-soul soup — this time found in the frozen aisle. It’s got the beef, broth, noodles, and garnishes all in one.

Something tells me this Indian-inspired snack mix — filled with turmeric-spiced peanuts, rice snacks, curry leaves, and crunchy chickpeas — is going to be a regular in my shopping cart.

Every time I think that Trader Joe’s has put their Everything But the Bagel Seasoning on EVERYTHING, I have to think again. Apparently, there are still new things to put it on! This time, their classic spice mix adorns a four-pack of croissants. Can’t stop, won’t stop!

Color me intrigued! These “trail mix crackers” contain mung beans, seeds, cashews, raisins, and cheese all in one bite. According to the package, the crackers sweet and salty and “the perfect mouthful.” I will be the judge of that — but the folks at Trader Joe’s are probably right.

These smooth-yet-crunchy cocoa beans sound like the perfect meta snack. Chocolate covered with chocolate — what could go wrong?

If you’re a fan of Starbucks’ sous vide egg bites, you’ll probably like this protein-packed version from TJ’s. Keep them in the fridge and simply pop them in the microwave or oven when you’re ready to eat.

Trader Joe’s beauty aisle is no longer the store’s best-kept secret because pretty much everyone knows that it’s where you can get the most bang for your buck. Don’t believe me? This facial oil would be a serious splurge elsewhere, but it’s only $6.99 at TJ’s!

To round out the list, here’s another beauty find that will help keep your skin feeling smooth as the weather gets colder and drier.

Which of these items are you excited to try?
