So you’ve made a New Years Resolution. Perhaps you realize summer will be here eventually. Perhaps for health or personal reasons you realize that it’s time to drop a few pounds. There are plenty of diet programs out there. One I’m most critical of is Jenny Craig. Not that it’s a bad program, but it’s expensive. It also goes against the philosophy of “Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime.” You are never really taught how to cook. Plus their food is quite expensive and some can even be confused with pet food visually. Since adding time to a set 24 hour day isn’t going to happen, you may need to rely on certain things being already made for you. Maybe it will give you time back in your day or give you just a few more minutes at the gym. So I’ve pulled together of (most) of my reviews and complied a calorie count for each item if you plan on Dieting at Trader Joe’s….

Trader Joe’s Arugula and Parmigiano Reggiano Ravioli
The pros: Trader Joe’s Arugula and Parmigiano Reggiano Ravioli is fresh pasta ready in under 5 minutes.
The cons: An underwhelming filling in terms of quantity and quality. It just wasn’t that great in terms of balance or taste.
The verdict: …
Trader Joe’s Burrata, Prosciutto and Arugula Flatbread
Like pizza but don’t like red sauce? Trader Joe’s Burrata, Prosciutto and Arugula Flatbread might be for you. Yes, it’s advertised as a flatbread with all these toppings, but it really might as well be called pizza. If they did call it pizza it might get lost in the freezer section.
Pros: Very tasty and good value considering you get a small package of prosciutto with this. Looks as good as the picture on the box.
Cons: Sitting down and eating this whole thing is just about 900 calories so plan accordingly.
The verdict: …
