i tried foods that won trader joe's customer choice awards to see if they live up to the hype
1 serving
staples like the mandarin orange chicken and soy chorizo deserve their acclaim
1 serving
i probably wouldn't buy the apple chicken sausage and the white-cheddar corn puffs again
1 serving
every year i look forward to trader joe's customer choice awards
1 serving
trader joe's black-bean and monterey jack burrito
1 serving
when i first learned that this grab-and-go burrito made the
1 serving
the burrito was quite simple
1 serving
this was better than many fast-food burritos i've had
1 serving
everything tasted wholesome and real
1 serving
stand-alone meal
1 serving
these are a great meal
1 serving
i'm confident these qualities and its fair price were the reason it earned the title of best appetizer during the 9th annual customer choice awards
1 serving
the creamy spinach and artichoke dip would work as a snack
1 serving
trader joe's creamy spinach and artichoke dip
1 serving
perhaps this is because spinach and artichoke dip is a staple appetizer on most restaurant menus
2014
the best meat product winner
1 serving
trader joe's apple chicken sausage
1 links
the came precooked in the package
1 serving
i these sausages in the skillet
1 serving
unfortunately
1 serving
they also had a strong maple tang that didn't seem artificial but gave each sausage a strange aftertaste. the pork alternative does a better job of standing up against these strong flavors
1 serving
the apple chicken sausages probably would have paired better
1 serving
they may have won the title of best meat product in 2014
1 cups
the dark-chocolate peanut-butter delivered an optimal dose of sweetness in a package
1 cups
trader joe's dark-chocolate peanut-butter
1 cups
blame it on the chain's perfectly designed impulse-buy section
1 serving
these are a life changing snack
1 serving
the chocolate has a rich and robust cocoa flavor that compliments the sweetness of the creamy peanut-butter center exceptionally without tasting bitter
1 cups
these peanut-butter are exquisite enough to turn any dark-chocolate hater into a believer
1 cups
verdict: these candy are a noteworthy mainstay in my cupboard that will be around
1 serving
the olive-oil popcorn tasted
1 serving
trader joe's olive-oil popcorn
1 serving
this particular popcorn has a delicate coating of olive oil that renders it a little nuttier than the i'm used to microwaving
1 serving
this is a great healthier snack alternative
1 bag
you could probably add some additional seasonings to the and shake it up
1 serving
verdict: this popcorn deserves its recognition as a healthier snack option
1 bag
the peanut-butter-filled pretzels were delicious
1 serving
trader joe's peanut-butter-filled pretzels
1 serving
i also loved how the dusting of coarse crystals on the outside added another dimension of texture and gave my taste buds an additional burst of salt
1 serving
the plantain chips were perfectly crunchy
1 serving
trader joe's plantain chips
1 serving
plantains may closely resemble bananas in look and texture
1 serving
these plantain chips were extra
1 serving
the crunch reminded me more of a cracker than anything else
1 serving
these chips had a great crunch
1 serving
perhaps everyone is learning that fruit- and veggie-based chips are actually
1 serving
these plantain snacks tasted on their own
1 serving
the arugula salad reminded me of springtime
1 serving
trader joe's arugula
1 can
arugula seem intimidating because it looks a bit more like an herb than it does lettuce and has a distinct flavor that errs on the side of bitter and almost pungent
1 bag
the only real downside is that the salad is only available in a instead of a box
1 serving
verdict: these salad greens are much more cool and fun than your typical spring mix
1 serving
if you're still hesitant trying this option due to the spice
1 serving
the orange chicken was an incredible bargain and tasted just as as takeout
1 serving
trader joe's mandarin orange chicken
50
walk down trader joe's section
1 serving
i baked the chicken in the oven
1 can
i'm also not a huge fan of meat since it get overly chewy
1 serving
the real star of this dish was its premade
1 l
although this dish ally is fried-chicken bits doused in a toothsome orange sauce
1 serving
the ice-cream cones were the perfect after-dinner treat
1 serving
trader joe's hold the cone ice-cream treats
1 serving
trader joe's hold the cone ice-cream treats were the very solution to that predicament
1 serving
cone is topped
1 serving
these treats are the perfect size
1 serving
the cones are smaller than even your standard child-sized ice-cream order from a parlor
1 serving
the soy chorizo was a spicy vegetarian dream
1 serving
trader joe's soy chorizo
1 serving
all the vegetarian-friendly foods that trader joe's customers have dubbed the best
1 serving
it tasted even better than the meat version
1 serving
any time i use soy chorizo in a dish
1 serving
getting it out of the packaging and into the pan made a bit of a mess
1 serving
this alternative also boasts nearly less fat than the pork version — so it's no surprise this won best vegetarian item again this year
1 serving
if i had to compare it to animal-based meat
1 serving
it crumbles and easily falls apart when out of its packaging
1 serving
it worked great as a taco base
1 serving
i loved this soy chorizo
1 tbsp
my only issue was that this product was quite messy to use because i had to it out of its tube and plastic casing
1 serving
verdict: this stuff is the real deal
1 serving
i haven't been a devoted vegetarian
1 serving
the unexpected cheddar cheese was absolutely outstanding
1 serving
trader joe's unexpected cheddar cheese
1 serving
that said
1 serving
this block of cheese had the perfect texture
1 serving
you could probably serve this exact cheese to me at a fancy wine bar and charge twice as much
1 serving
pairing it
1 serving
but
1 serving
initially
1 serving
verdict: delicious
1 serving
trader joe's everything but the bagel sesame seasoning blend would elevate any breakfast
1 serving
trader joe's everything but the bagel sesame seasoning blend
1 serving
this seasoning is one of them
1 bags
sure
1 serving
this seasoning adds great flavor to just anything
1 jar
consists of sesame and poppy seeds
1 serving
i also enjoyed the way it added texture and crunch to my food. i sprinkled some on top of avocado toast and it instantly tasted like something i had paid money
1 serving
i love adding it to avocado toast
1 serving
perhaps that's why it beat full-on entrees during last year's trader joe's customer choice awards and took home the title of best overall
1 serving
the white-cheddar corn puffs were a solid snack
1 serving
trader joe's white-cheddar corn puffs
1 serving
their flavor was more mellow than i expected
1 oz
however
1 serving
the sourdough was one of the best breads i've ever tried
1 serving
trader joe's sourdough bread
1 serving
although pre- bread sometimes gets a bad rep
1 loaf
this is still my favorite of sourdough
1 bag
this bread had just the right amount of that subtle flavor. it tasted incredible straight out of the and even better when
1 serving
verdict: i say this as someone who has tried several sourdoughs from different stores: this bread is the best i've had outside of visiting an actual bakery
1 serving
as long as i live within reasonable driving distance to a trader joe's
1 serving
rich and decadent
1 serving
trader joe's speculoos cookie butter
1 serving
when i first learned the existence of the iconic cookie butter almost nine years ago
1 jar
at the time
1 serving
but all it took was one spoonful of this divine spread to turn me into a full-on believer
1 jar
that's what cookie butter is. it tastes like the comforts of the holidays wrapped in a even if it's available year-round
1 serving
this product tastes like the holidays all year round
1 serving
verdict: i consider this treat to be the embodiment of the quirkiness and joy that trader joe's represents
