Okay, so I've decided that I must make a trip to Trader Joe's - I've heard everyone rave about it and now I want to check it out. I didn't realize there was one only 40 miles away from me, so I am going to plan a trip soon.
My question is - what are your "must-buys" from Trader Joe's? I looked on their website but it doesn't list any of their products. I want to make sure I don't miss anything!
I tried something new from TJ about a month ago. It's individual-sized spinach pizza, with sauce 'n everything, but no cheese. They're accidentally vegan and good. In the three TJs near me, they're on the top shelf of the refrigerated section near the pizza dough - although 3 out of 4 times they're out of stock.
For the people who don't live near a TJ, you're not missing much. I went into a Whole Foods a few weeks ago and realized that I'm not missing anything by not having one near me. The independently owned HFSs near me have more vegan options than those two store combined. If only the farmer's markets were year-round here.
Trader Joe's has a really awesome Roasted Vegetable Pizza in the freezer section. I never would have tried it because I don't ever get frozen foods, but my friend made some and told him a coworker recommended. it's 100% vegan and absolutely delicious and there aren't any hydro oils or HFCS.
Everyone needs a jar of pinjur right now. :D :D :D Mmm, pinjur. Drooling while I think about it. Yummy.
TJ's just did a recall on some Pinjur because it may contain particles of glass. Check your local store to see if they stocked the recalled product
