In this life, there are a few telltale signs that you’ve gone Full Adult. First, you find yourself splurging on kitchen gadgets. That’s quickly followed by the decision to choose a Real Housewives binge sesh and home-cooked meal over a night out at the bar. Eventually, the highlight of your Sunday will become a trip to the grocery store...especially if you live near a Trader Joe’s. And that’s not a bad thing at all. But here’s the thing about TJ's: You can go in with the most detailed grocery list and still never be fully prepared for the moment you turn into the snack section. It’s a beautiful experience like no other...especially when *that* everything but the bagel seasoning hits your nose.
If you are like me and become somewhat delirious when faced with the Trader Joe’s snack selection, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve found 37 of the best snacks you’ll find at TJ’s right this very second—most of which are both affordable and good for you. Peep below for all the best Trader Joe’s snacks to stick in your cart on your next shopping trip. You’re so welcome.
These babies are so thin and delicious, there’s a solid chance you eat the whole box in one sitting. The lemon is my fave because each cookie tastes like summer in Italy, but the triple ginger flavor also slaps.
All of the onion ring vibes, none of the greasy fingers. These crunchy rings are made of lentils and rice, but you’d never believe it based on their yummy, sour cream, and oniony flavor.
Licorice lovers will flip for these sweet twists, especially since they’re made with natural strawberry flavor and real licorice extract (which you won’t find in most other fruit-flavored licorice candies).
Even if you’ve never experienced the deliciousness of a spiced speculoos biscuit (which...you need to), you’re going to love this cookie butter spread. It’s nut-free and perfect for adding to pancakes, bananas, waffles, or just eating by the spoonful.
Made with almonds, coconut, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, you’ll wanna dump this grainless granola (which is vegan and gluten-free, FYI) on your yogurt parfaits and elevated salads.
These organic corn chips are made for dipping, and that’s just what they’ll do. They’re made with only three ingredients—corn, sunflower oil, and sea salt—and you can enjoy ’em with everything from salsa to queso to hummus. Oh my!
These tasty lil cookies get their zingy flavor from three types of ginger: puréed, crystallized, and ground. And while they’re crunchy on the outside, they’re nice and soft on the inside.
Made with peanuts, almonds, walnuts, and sea salt dipped in dark chocolate, these protein- and fiber-packed bars are soooo ideal for on-the-go snacking. Do I have one in my purse at all times? Yes.
Oh yeah, they did that. The incredible flavor of an everything bagel, plopped on a kettle-cooked potato chip.
Nuts and chocolate are a match made in heaven, and these dark chocolate-covered California almonds are serious proof of that.
If Stormi Webster snacks on seaweed, then so do I. But seriously, these are great if you need something portable and yummy.
Topped with Italian white truffles and fleur de sel sea salt, these white truffle potato chips are SO much more luxe than your boring ol’ picnic staple.
You can never go wrong with a chocolate chip cookie, especially when they’re adorable and bite-sized. Good luck eating just one of these bbs.
Forget all those cheesy snacks that taste as fake as they look. These umami corn snacks are flavor-packed without tasting artificial, and they provide le perfect amount of crunch.
Okay, you may be skeptical about the combination of dark chocolate and orange, but hear me out—these chocolate-dipped “sticks” of orange-flavored jelly are soft without being gooey. They’re also free from any artificial flavors.
These cereal bars are perfectly sweet with an surprisingly flaky exterior—a grown-up Pop-Tart, if you will.
Tired: Just plain chocolate. Wired: TJ’s dark chocolate peanut butter cups, which are made with slow-roasted Virginia peanuts and smooth, dark chocolate from high-quality cacao beans.
You won’t be able to stop popping these in your mouth, if only for how good they crunch. But they also taste delicious, with a little zing of wasabi.
The flavor combination of peanut butter and pretzels is just *chef’s kiss*...especially when you can enjoy it in the form of bite-sized nuggets made without preservatives or artificial flavors.
This cocoa almond spread is one of my absolute must-buys. It’s not as sweet as other chocolate spreads (looking at you, Nutella), so it has a rich, more natural flavor.
