I haven’t done a Trader Joe’s post in a while and thought it was time to share a few of my favorite things from their store.
- Dorot Chopped Basil– These frozen cubes of basil are perfect for throwing into sauces or soups. I usually have fresh basil growing in a pot during the summer months, but the weather in Kansas doesn’t allow for year round growing unless you bring it in inside. I love the ease and convenience of these frozen cubes.
- Coconut Body Butter- My friend Mary suggested I try the Coconut Body Butter Cream and it didn’t disappoint. This cream is rich and luxurious filled with coconut oil, vitamin E and shea butter. It feels great on your skin and is a steal at roughly $5 a container.
- Spinach and Kale Greek Yogurt Dip– My friend Christine served this at a party I attended and it’s delicious with vegetables or crackers. Some dips can be loaded with calories, but this one is only 30 calories for two tablespoons.
- Island Soyaki– This has become a staple in my house. It’s a unique blend of soy sauce, pineapple juice, garlic, ginger and sesame seeds. It’s almost grill season in Kansas. I love to marinate pork chops in the soyaki and cook them on the grill during the summer months.

I’ve never been to Trader Joe’s!! Can you believe it? I feel like I should set aside some time to go check it out.
They’ve got some great items that are their own brand. The prices aren’t bad either. Let me know if you check it out.
I love the blue cheese pecan dip.
I forgot about that one. That is a good one too paired with Spicy Buffalo Wheat Thins. Come to think of it, I’m pretty sure I wrote a post about it.
I haven’t been to Trader Joe’s either. Seeing these ideas makes me want to try it out. Thanks Dawn!
They have some good and different things. You should check it out. The staff is super helpful too and like to give you their recommendations.
