Let me start by saying this was my first time to Trader Joe’s in over two months and I have never been so excited! It was so therapeutic and I was truly like a kid in the candy shop. I opted to get many items that I really wanted to try for a while because I knew I wouldn’t be back for awhile since it is a little far from my house.

Synergistically Seasoned Popcorn – This stuff is literally crack. It is so freaking good. I honestly bought it because the packaging was so cute, but I was worried with all the flavors that it would be too much. Boy, was I wrong. I honestly almost ate the entire bag in one sitting! It reminds me of BBQ with a hint of Sriracha; it’s sweet, tangy, and a little spicy kick. I definitely would say if you’re fearful it’s going to be too spicy, it really isn’t, it’s the perfect amount of heat!

Turkey Corn Dogs – These are definitely my guilty pleasure. They are so delicious and the perfect snack when you’re really craving something unhealthy. I like to think that they’re kind of healthy since they’re turkey and they’re nitrite free! Honestly, they taste just like regular corn dogs, so I highly recommend!

Non-dairy Oat Beverage – I love using this in my Dalgona or whipped coffee (if you haven’t tried this yet, you can follow my tutorial here). It is SO delicious and I honestly kind of like it better than any other non-dairy milk I’ve tried. I’m obviously not picky and will drink any non-dairy option. I also love that you don’t need to refrigerate until you open it because then you can have many on stock! Also, if you’re wondering, there isn’t a strong oat flavor so it’s very versatile.

Miyoko’s Lox Cream Cheese – If you know me, you will know I love (emphasis on love) the smoked salmon cream cheese from Einstein Bagels (I could literally eat an entire tub with some poppy seed bagels, yum). This is honestly incredibly comparable to that. It’s obviously not an exact match, you definitely know it’s vegan, but it’s pretty dang similar. I am a huge fan (also grateful its good because I would have hated to waste it). It is tangy (ish) and has that very umami flavor (which was unexpected tbh).

Garlic Dip – I will be honest, I have’t tried this yet, but I know it will be delicious. I will update this when I try it!

Vegan Ranch Dip – I used to love ranch as a kid (hidden valley was my jam). I have since stopped eating it because it’s kind of fattening. But I really wanted to try this since it’s vegan and oh my gosh, it’s amazing. I have used it as a dip and I have also thinned it out with a lil water and used it as a dressing! Super delish. I won’t say it’s as good as hidden valley, but it’s pretty good.

Coconut Whipped Cream – This might be my fave product out of this whole haul. It is seriously life changing. I cannot remember how long it has been since I have had real whipped cream. It’s truly so good. It does have a hint of coconut, but I don’t think it’s overwhelming and the texture is spot on! 10/10 recommend!

Aloha Plant-Based Protein Bar – I was really excited for this and had really high hopes, but this was a hard no from me. The texture really isn’t bad, it’s similar to mousse, but the taste is awful..it tasted like burnt chocolate which I am not a fan of.

Onion Salt – I love this seasoning and I use it on pretty much everything like chicken, potatoes, veggies, etc. It’s super great, not super salty so it’s perfect.

Many Things Mix – This reminds me of chex and I was super excited, but it is just okay. Not something that I would rebuy in all honesty. Half of the chex are spicy and they were a lil too spicy imo and everything else is just okay (not much flavor on anything else).

Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips – These are knock off or healthier Taki’s, but honestly, I would much rather have Taki’s. These are extremely lime-y like to the point my mounth puckered. I am just not a huge fan, but if you like extremely sour things, then you’ll probably like it.

Strawberry Licorice Twists – I thought that these would be similar to the thicker strawberry Twizzlers that peel apart, but it is one giant log. It’s soft, but not extremely soft, its still kind of tough. They’re okay. The strawberry flavor isn’t intense, which I would have preferred. They’re something I would buy occasionally.

Banana Chips – These are the non-organic ones, so they are cheaper. I think these are incredibly delicious. I love banana chips and these are super tasty. Crispy, but not too hard and they actually aren’t high in sugar which is great!
