Trader Joe's blog and cooking.
If you are living gluten free, then Trader Joe's has some good options for you. But quality can vary, fortunately, that's why you have this site!
From to the find dozens of reviews of Trader Joe's gluten free products and see which ones are worth your time and which ones you may want to consider leaving on the shelf!
If I’ve had any complaints about the variety of food offered it tends to be only one: too many carbs/sugar. Well, perhaps Trader Joe’s is finally going to get on the low carb bandwagon with this product. Behold, yet another way Trader Joe’s is sneaking cauliflower into their products.
…
So let’s be honest. There are a lot of people out there who cannot have dairy for a variety of reasons: perhaps they are lactose intolerant or perhaps for ethical reasons. So why not add to the long list of nondairy dessert options at Trader Joe’s?
…
So maybe they brought back Trader Joe’s Ube ice cream this season to get us ready for a new application of ube. Besides, this is gluten-free and has a super kid-friendly color. But the flavor of the ice cream was subtle. And if you enjoy subtly flavored, then you’ll probably enjoy this too.
…
In my experience, there have been a number of products where the directions are less than perfect. Some have been outright wrong. However, there are some products where the directions could have been written a bit clearer which includes this Trader Joe’s Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookie Baking Mix.
…
I love a no-effort breakfast. In the mornings I will always choose snooze over pretty much any morning activity that requires any form of effort. My Keurig has a timer so it is warmed up when I am up, I’ll shower the night before, I make my lunch the night before, and I will literally do anything to get as much sleep as I can before the morning eventuality sets in. I am sure that I am not alone on this one either.
…
Don’t adjust your monitors. I nearly walked past this item on the new items display. Every now and again they put items that are currently on shelves on that display. I noticed the bag was a bit faded out and took a closer look, only to realize this is different, this is Trader Joe’s Oven-Baked Cheese Bites with Black Truffle.
…
In all of the pumpkin and fall-themed items in the freezer section quietly sits a much-welcomed option. One that doesn’t have a ton of added sugar to it. Yes, they are hopping on the train of trendiness with Trader Joe’s Organic Acai Bowl.
…
It wasn’t long ago that I reviewed Trader Joe’s Patio Potato Chips. If anything, I learned that I did actually like the ketchup flavor that was found in that bag. Now they’ve transformed the powdered flavoring and put it on a slightly different shaped spud. Enter Trader Joe’s Ketchup Flavored Spud Crunchies.
…
You might look at this product and say, “Wait haven’t you already reviewed Trader Joe’s Organic Carrots of Many Colors before?” And the answer is sort of. You see these carrots are dehydrated, I’ve reviewed the fully hydrated bag of Trader Joe’s Carrots of Many Colors and Trader Joe’s Colorful Carrot Coins previously. This now makes the third colorful carrot product I’ve reviewed so far.
…
If one area has been consistently expanding, it is the non-dairy options at Trader Joe’s. While I’ve tried some interesting flavors from blueberry lavender to matcha to the seasonal chocolate peppermint, Trader Joe’s Turmeric Ginger Coconut Beverage is far an away in a class its own both in taste and in color.
…
When Trader Joe’s hits us with new snacks, it is usually something to get excited over. There have been some real winners in the past. Or at least some polarizing ones like the recently returned popcorn in a pickle and perhaps Trader Joe’s Patio Potato Chips belong in that polarizing category.
…
Mochi. There isn’t really quite much that is like it. It’s one of those fun things to have people try. It’s quite polarizing too. Either you’ll love it or you’ll hate it. There doesn’t seem to be much middle ground when it comes to this sweet confection and now Trader Joe’s Mochi Cake Mix is available to those who want to make it themselves.
…
Two gluten free cereals. Both are priced just 20 cents apart. You would think that they would be pretty similar. Except my taste buds were telling me that there was one clear winner.
…
Just a couple of weeks ago I tried Trader Joe’s Almond Butter Cups. They were sweet, but not too sweet. And yes, they were oh so very good. They had a nice shell of dark chocolate and the filling was nutty, but not the classic peanut butter filling. A really fun spin on a classic with the new Trader Joe’s Organic Dark Chocolate PB and J Minis.
…
It’s been a good year so far to be at Trader Joe’s if you are gluten-free. Now, I’m not gluten-free, but I do like to see how things taste. And if desserts are where you feel like gluten is missing the most then they have you covered with Trader Joe’s Fudgy Chocolate Quinoa Loaf and Cake Mix.
…
If there was one holiday product, that I wish I could go back are review because it would have been helpful, were the Mini Peppermint Meringues. I loved and adored them. They were delicious, crisp, and melted in your mouth like it never happened. And for the most part, you could have had a relatively large serving of them and still felt pretty guilt free. Best of all, they were straight up excellent. Now, we have Trader Joe’s Chocolate Chip Cocoa Meringues to add to our carts.
…
If the Skittles slogan is “Taste the Rainbow,” then someone was thinking “Taste the green pizza.” Well, I tasted it. It tastes about as attractive as it looks. A pizza made with spirulina would have made for a prettier pie.
…
Neapolitan. The classic pairing of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate. We first saw this recently with the seasonally available Neapolitan Joe Joe’s. Now we are seeing it in Trader Joe’s Neapolitan Puffs Cereal. Soon, we will revisit this combination where it all started: in ice cream but with Joe Joe’s. Yup, they seem to be capitalizing on that varieties success.
…
Oh Trader Joe’s, you know most people won’t keep the New Year’s Resolution. So they are giving us another popular product double. And yes, this adds to a long list of product doubles that I’ve tried, especially in the snack food section. Behold, Trader Joe’s answer to the popular snack: Takis.
…
Easy as pie. Or at least that is how the saying goes. But what about the gluten-free crowd? Making pie without flour can be a bit of a challenge. However, just in time for the holiday season is Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Pie Crust in the freezer section. It’s already shaped and even has its own pie tin too. But how does it compare to a non gluten-free crust?
…
Well, well, well. It seems like I’ve seen this packaging before. But Trader Joe’s Butternut Squash Pizza Crust packaging is darn similar to another item. If you pick up Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Crust, then you might accidentally find yourself picking up this product instead. Fortunately, not only is the packaging similar, so are the end products.
…
Just in time for school to start are Trader Joe’s ABC Bars. I’m not sure if they chose the letters to coincide with the start of school or it just is one big Jackson 5 reference that they were running with based on the fact that these are Almond Butter Cocoa Bars….
The pros: Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Mac and Cheese is new and the only gluten free pasta option currently in the freezer.
The cons: It still misses the mark compared to the non gluten free varieties.
The verdict: …
The pros: Trader Joe’s Mango and Cream Bars are light and refreshing.
The cons: No stick, but I’m not sure why these needed such explicit instructions.
The verdict: …
