I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sure the quarantine 15 is going to be a thing. I’ve done more baking in the last 2 weeks than I did over the entire holiday season. The whole being at home thing and staying close to the refrigerator most of the time has been very real. I’m positive pajama pants have given me a false sense of security as well. So, I figured I would revisit an older product review.

Trader Joe’s 100% Organic Argan Oil
As I’ve said before, I’m a full blow Sephora junkie. And recently in my monthly Play subscription box a cute little bottle of Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil appeared. It was a teeny tiny .17 ounce bottle. It seemed nice. However, the full-size bottle is $49.
…
Trader Joe’s Organic Cheese and Tomato Family Size Pizza
Well, here is one of the few items at Trader Joe’s that I’ve ever seen as being labeled as “Family Size.” But I am here to assure you that if your family is over the size of 2, you might need more. Sorry, this is no Costco sized item.
…
Trader Joe’s Organic Tomato Mozzarella Piccolo Pizza
There is absolutely nothing like New York pizza. I’m not sure if it is the water or some other magical factor, but nothing comes close. Not even in a frozen pizza. However, there has been a bit of a shuffle in Trader Joe’s frozen pizza aisle where certain items have been discontinued. So, when something gets discontinued something else takes its place and in this case, it is Trader Joe’s Organic Tomato Mozzarella Piccolo Pizza.
…
Trader Joe’s Organic Acai Bowl
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.
…
Trader Joe’s Organic Carrots of Many Colors
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.
…
Trader Joe’s Organic Sparkling Apple Cider Drinking Vinegar
Vacationing in our household is really just about eating in a different city. And drinking for that matter. We pretty much go to different places and just bring back food. When we visited Watkins Glen, NY and Mystic, Connecticut we saw some sights, but the highlights of our visit were to fun little shops. In both of those towns we found our way to fun shops that only sold Olive Oil and Vinegar. None of it was technically drinking vinegar.
…
Trader Joe’s Organic Milk from Grass Fed Cows
It’s not often that I review things as basic and a half gallon of milk. Normally, I wouldn’t. But this product jumped out to me on a few different levels. First, it’s organic and grass fed (all buzzwords right now) AND for the price. Second, this half gallon set me back nearly $5 and that is a premium beyond the price of a regular half gallon and even the organic half gallon.
…
Trader Joe’s Organic Tulsi Herbal Tea
Basil. A common ingredient in my household. So is tea. But if you are thinking that this is just basil in tea form, you might be a bit mistaken depending on what ends up in your cart regularly. The basil I keep is the one that pairs really well with tomatoes and cheese. In reality, the one variety I use is among the 40 varieties of basil available. Tulsi or Holy Basil is a totally different variety than what you might be picking up in the fresh herb section. Now Trader Joe’s introduces those of us who might otherwise be unfamiliar to Holy Basil Tea.
…
Trader Joe’s Organic Cold Brewed Hibiscus Tea and Lemonade
A little while back I reviewed a fun item that wasn’t too dissimilar to this Hibiscus Tea and Lemonade. It was Trader Joe’s Organic Tea and Lemonade. Essentially, what that drink was is more commonly known as an “Arnold Palmer.” Trader Joe’s Organic Cold Brewed Hibiscus Tea and Lemonade is a playful spin in a substantially smaller bottle.
…
Trader Joe’s Organic Dark Chocolate PB and J Minis
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.
…
Trader Joe’s Organic Honey Hedgehog Cookies
Here is a quick work place truth: some time after lunch and before it’s time to go, I am some how hungry. If I were still working at an office job, I would have hit the vending machine. However, where I currently work there is no such thing anywhere near me. For better or worse. So that has left me with a plethora of snacks in my desk drawer to avoid spending money at the local stores.
…
Trader Joe’s Organic Creamy Cashew Fiesta Dip
Does anyone else celebrate Taco Tuesday? I think we celebrate it on a lot of days during the week. I have a soft spot for nachos in particular. Who doesn’t love cheesy chips? I adore them. Just not Trader Joe’s Queso Dip. One of the cardinal rules of a dip is that it should never be watery or thin. This vegan dip does a better job of being cheesy than queso.
…
Trader Joe’s Organic Maple Butter
Every now and again, there is a product that I’m almost positive that I haven’t seen available anywhere else. This is one of those products. I’ve never seen maple butter before. But when I saw it, I knew it was going into my cart.
…
Trader Joe’s Organic Cold Pressed Fuji Apple Spiced Cider
So, I want to make sure I’m not bombarding you all with everything pumpkin. Because this year, it seems that the seasonal flavors are being fanned out to include more apple and maple. Both are welcome additions. I welcome them even more if they are done well….
Trader Joe’s Hot Cocoa Organic Frosted Toaster Pastries
The pros: Trader Joe’s Hot Cocoa Organic Frosted Toaster Pastries is new and dressed up for cooler weather.
The cons: Seasonal based on the appearance of the packaging. Depending on your feeling on frosting, mine were not evenly frosted. Some would prefer if the frosting was left off.
The verdict: …
Trader Joe’s Kingslynn Green Tea
The pros: Trader Joe’s Kingslynn Green Tea looks like a new tea that is done in the same spirit as much of Trader Joe’s coffee offerings.
The cons: If you don’t like the taste of green tea, you won’t be a fan of this. This priced $2 above the organic fair trade green tea already on store shelves.
The verdict: …
Trader Joe’s To the Power of Seven Green Organic Juice Blend
The pros: Trader Joe’s To the Power of Seven Green Organic Juice Blend is new and capitalizes on green juice popularity.
The cons: The primary flavors are celery juice, ginger spice, and apple. For something that should be healthy, I personally wasn’t blown away by the nutritional information of this product.
The verdict: …
Trader Joe’s Seltzer Water with Lemon and Ginger Juice
The pros: Trader Joe’s Seltzer Water flavored with Lemon and Ginger Juice is one of two new seltzer flavors and if you love ginger then you might dig this.

The verdict: …

The verdict: …
Trader Joe’s Organic Sriracha Ranch Dressing
The pros: Trader Joe’s Organic Sriracha Ranch Dressing is nice and spicy.

The verdict: …
Trader Joe’s Grass Fed Organic Rib Eye Beef Steak
Most summers, my husband and I head towards the Finger Lakes to get away. We have a few favorite stops while we are there. Because up in farm country you can actual enjoy the real farm to table experience. If you are a city dweller, then the next best thing to look for are items labeled grass fed like this Trader Joe’s Grass Fed Organic Rib Eye Beef Steak.
…
Trader Joe’s Organic Tea and Lemonade

The cons: Nothing really stands out other than the obvious sugary nature of this drink.
The verdict: …
Trader Joe’s Organic Caesar Salad Kit
The pros: Trader Joe’s Organic Caesar Salad Kit is a vast improvement over Trader Joe’s Caesar Style Salad Mix.
The cons: Keep your expectations in check as this mix is as good as this is a good bagged salad mix.
The verdict: …
