Trader Joe's Springime List!

We have been able to try so many new things at Trader Joe's this season! We have found some yummy new staples. I have been so impressed with Trader Joe's regular items. I usually go for all the new things, but I have had others tell me about some of the items that are always there that we have tried. There is some great stuff I have been walking right past each trip! Here are all the new things we got this spring season and some of our staples we are still loving! 

Green Juice- This is my absolute favorite item from Trader Joe's! They have the Power of the Green, Power of the Purple and Power of Seven Red Juice flavors. We have tried all three and really like them all. If I had to pick one to use for our smoothies at home, it would be the Green juice! It tastes just like a green smoothie from a smoothie shop. My husband loved the red juice the best. It tastes just like watermelon juice. The Purple juice was very tart, but was good in smoothies. We have bought these a few times now! 

Blondie Bar Baking Mix- My husband's sisters raved about how good the Blondie Bars were from Trader Joe's, so we had to pick a box up! The mix already comes with chocolate chips, you just need butter and an egg. It is super easy to whip up and bake. The Blondie Bar's are a bit buttery when they are warm, but once they cooled they taste just like a cookie bar. I really liked these bars. It would be even better with a scoop of ice cream too! 

Strawberry Preserves- We have been looking for a good strawberry jam and I think we found it! We tried the Strawberry Preserves from Trader Joe's. The ingredients are pretty good for being jam. The jam doesn't have big chunks of strawberries like a lot of other jams. It is a smooth texture and has good flavor. We like to use this on biscuits and toast. 

Cinnamon Raisin Bread- My husband picked up the Cinnamon Raisin Bread and really like it. I don't love raisins in my breads and sweets, so this one was all his to snack on! He said it had good cinnamon flavor and was good! The bread toasted well on the outside and stayed nice and soft on the inside. He added a little butter on top. It looks like it could be a good French toast bread too! 

Veggie & Flax Seed Corn Tortilla Chips- We had high hopes for these tortilla chips, but they fell short for us! The flavor is light while you eat them, but they do leave an oniony aftertaste that we didn't love. They are way better dipped in salsa though! I wouldn't eat them without some type of dip. I did like the texture of the chip and it has a good saltiness. These would be super cute during the fall time on a charcuterie board or in a chip bowl with the colors of the chips.  

Movie Theater Popcorn- The Movie Theater Popcorn tastes just like being at the movie theaters! We have been getting this for a bit now and are still loving it! It is fun to be able to have popcorn like that at home! It is a cheaper option and tastes super good! 

Acai Packs- We are still buying the Acai packs from Trader Joe's and love them. They are perfect for our at home smoothies and Acai bowls. The pack comes with four individual packs of Acai juice, but we usually get eight smoothies out of them as we cut the packs in half. The flavor and price are great for these! 

Ice Cream Bon Bons- My mom showed me the Ice Cream Bon Bons and boy are they good! The cookie bottom is the perfect texture and pairs well with the vanilla ice cream. The chocolate coating adds the perfect crunch. You could eat the whole package in one sitting if you aren't careful! This is the perfect treat! 

Hold the Cone- This is one of my favorite items at Trader Joe's. The Hold the Cone's are the perfect little treat. They have seasonal flavors throughout the year and then a few flavors that are always available. I love the Vanilla and Chocolate Chip ones. They came out with a strawberry one this season and I have the pumpkin flavored one's on my fall list. The cones are little, but just right for a little treat! 

Limeade- This is an old favorite of ours that we recently have been grabbing again. The Limeade is so tart, but has a really good flavor. This is a refreshing drink for the spring time! It would be good in a Sprite or something to add a little flavor too! 

Sparkling Berry Lemonade- The Sparkling Berry Lemonade is one of my favorites! First off, this is the cutest bottle and soda drink ever. Secondly, it is super yummy! The berry flavor is really good and I like that it is a fizzy drink. My siblings are hooked on this drink too! I like to use it as a drink for Valentine's day or it would be super cute for Easter too! 

Croissants- Trader Joe's has amazing croissants that come frozen, but taste like they came straight from a bakery when they are cooked. I love both the Almond Croissants and the Chocolate Croissant. They are just above four dollars a box, which is an amazing price, since you'd pay more than that at a bakery for only one! The only downside, is that they take over night to rise, so when a craving hits you have to wait. They are super yummy and are on our Trader Joe's list over and over. These would be awesome for a spring time brunch item! 

Salsa Autentica- Remember the chips from up above? Well, we went back to Trader Joe's to find a salsa to go with them and this is the one I picked up! The Salsa Autentica is super spicy, but it doesn't have chunks of the salsa ingredients, which is the way I like my salsa. The bottle has a good amount in it and lasted through the bag of the chips. This salsa would be good with other chips, tacos, soups or whatever you need salsa for. 

Turkey Cutlets- I won't add a picture here, since it is raw meat, but I have to rave about what a good thing these were! Trader Joe's has sliced turkey cutlets in the meat section. They are around five dollars and feed at least two of us. It was the best thing we found this season. My husband added onions and seasonings and they tasted so good! We have picked them a few times now and will probably make this a part of our meal rotations! It is a great option to change up the meats at dinner. 

What should we pick up next from Trader Joe's?
