Trader Joe's blog and cooking.
The pros: 100% juice and really nice blend of various juices that go beyond the name of Orange Peach Mango. Trader Joe’s Orange Peach Mango would also likely make an awesome juice mixer for an adult beverage.
The cons: Will disappear out of your refrigerator.
The verdict: …
If you enjoy citrus in the morning, but find yourself getting tired of the usual OJ routine, it might be time to mix things up. Trader Joe’s sells Tangerine Juice in the refrigerated section with the other juices. Trader Joe’s Tangerine juice will give your palate a similar flavor to orange juice but with a hint of sweetness.
The pros: Freshly squeezed Tangerine Juice.
The cons: Expensive ($3.29 for 1 quart) for what you are getting here as compared to other items in the juice section.
The verdict: …
The Pros: Trader Joe’s Harvest Blend Herbal Tea is a super flavorful tea, almost sugar sweetened without adding sugar. Price is $1.99 which is completely reasonable for 20 tea bags.
The Cons: Tea bags with no strings. If you are hoping for Lipton tasting, you’ll be disappointed. This is all flavor.

I’ve had Morningstar Farm’s “chicken” burgers and they weren’t bad. So I gave this a shot. What it is “chicken” thats been battered and fried the way you would get in a Chinese restaurant.
