B’s Top 10 Trader Joe’s Snacks

Trader Joe's Vegan Snacks

As promised, it’s snack time. Trimming down my favorite from 543959 to 10 is going to be a challenge, but it’s one I’m up for.

If I could, I’d eat Trader Joe’s snacks all day. When Sara and I used to work together, we had the luxury of having Trader Joe’s only 10 minutes from the office. You can imagine how many lunch hours were spent there, scouting for desk snacks. Just sitting across from each other, pigging out on dark chocolate almonds and popcorn. Ah, the good ‘ol days.

Anyways, snacks. Here’s to the top 10 that made the cut:

#10: Veggie Chips Potato Snacks. Can’t go wrong with good ‘ol veggie chips. I’m weird and only eat the white and orange ones. Sorry, green ones.

#9: Kettle Corn. The perfect combo of sweet and salty. I usually prefer to pop my own popcorn, but this is too good to pass up.

#8: Soy Creamy Non-Dairy Mini Vanilla Sandwiches. They taste exactly like the real deal. You know, the one that gets stuck to your fingers and makes a huge mess. This one is no different, which is why it is so great. The best part is saving that chocolate cake-y mess on your fingertips for last, right?

#7: Pound Plus 72% Dark Chocolate. It’s a pound of chocolate and it will last you over the course of months. Just one square of this bad boy is all you need to satisfy a chocolate craving, especially when you’re dealing with PMS. TMI? It’s fine.

#6: Organic Apple Wildberry Fruit Wrap. These make me feel like I’m in fourth grade again, eating a fruit roll-up in the school yard. Except these are organic and aren’t filled with disgusting and unhealthy dyes that leave tattoos on your tongue.

#5: Soy Creamy Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. If you are a fan of Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia, then you have found your match. Even Joe, who has this weird thing against Cherry Garcia, can’t keep his spoon out of it. Get away, Joe.

#4: Roasted Coconut Chips. Sounds simple, right? Wrong. These things are so addictive, holy crap. There are only two servings in a pack at 160 calories each, which is good because I mindlessly ate half the bag while watching the Emmy’s last week. Eat them plain, add them to your morning yogurt, or your homemade granola.

#3: Organic Brown Rice Marshmallow Treats. Because it’s a rice crispy treat. That’s it.

#2: Speculoos Everything. Have you ever had a Speculoos cookie? How about Speculoos cookie butter? No? Well then, you haven’t lived.

#1: Quinoa and Black Bean Infused Tortilla Chips. Oh dear Lord. These things. Eat them with some salsa, or nothing. I prefer nothing because the burst of flavor is out of this world. They are addicting, so watch out! You could get lost in a bag, and the serving size is pretty small.

  1. Love this list! I get the six pack of kettle chips at TJ’s for portion control. And the kettle corn is addicting. Can’t wait to try the Speculoos and the Coconut chips….I’ll probably be popping over to Trader Joe’s sometime today! :)

    1. The kettle corn is seriously addicting, Nicole! The coconut chips are just as addicting, and don’t even get me started on the speculoos… LOL Let me know what you think!! xx Bianca

  2. Oh my gosh that soy creamy cherry chocolate chip…so hard to not eat more than a serving in one sitting!

    1. Why bother to put it in a bowl when you can enjoy right from the container, right? LOL That is what I find myself doing – it’s so bad (and soooo good)! xx B

    1. Cookie butter is the best spread of all time – sooo hard to not eat with a spoon! LOL

      Glad to connect – hope to hear from you, soon! xx Bianca

      1. All of Trader Joe’s food is really addicting!

        I love that your blog is vegan, I’ll have to try out some of your recipes! I’m not vegan, but I do like to experiment with vegan and vegetarian options :)

      2. Agreed!

        Thank you – yes, please try them out! Sara, the other contributor to the Friendly Fig, is not vegan, but is trying to eat vegan during the day. (She talks about this more on the About Us page. It’s called Vegan Before 6). Even just a vegetarian or vegan recipe here and there is wonderful :)

        If you do try something, definitely let me know how it turns out!! xx Bianca

      3. Speculoos butter and TJ’s animal crackers are my downfall. The animal crackers don’t have a ton of flavor on their own, but they are the perfect crunchy vehicle for massive amounts of cookie butter!

      4. I never thought of doing that! I will need to pick up some animal crackers this weekend. AHH, thanks for the idea! :-D xx Bianca

  3. […] Dried coconut chips (from Trader Joe’s) […]

  4. […] Coconut Chips. One of my favorite Trader Joe’s snacks! Between the both of us, we could polish off a bag in 20 minutes or […]

  5. […] The majority of my diet is of course veggies, fruit, beans, and grains. However, I am quite a sucker for vegan snacks. I know they aren’t great for you, so I keep them as weekend treats :) I actually put together a post on my favorite vegan snacks from Trader Joe’s. […]

  6. I have been wanting to try that soy ice cream for a while now! I’ll have to take the plunge!

    1. Oh, please do yourself the favor and take the plunge! It is AMAZING <3 xx

  7. I am making my first ever stop at Trader Joes on Tuesday! I am super excited because in the healthy-blogosphere all I hear about is Trader Joes, whole foods, etc.! So this was great! I want to try some of these healthy snacks :)

    XO,
    Kat

    1. Ah…. you are going to love it!! Let me know how it goes :-D xx
