Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!
1. Freezer Pops
When we think of summer, there are plenty of things that pop into our head, but as far as desserts go, some good old popsicles are definitely somewhere at the top of the list. Nothing hits the spot quite like a fruity freezer pop, and luckily, Trader Joe's has you covered with these Organic Freezer Pops. They're made with 100% juice and come in three delicious flavors: Orange, Berry, and Cherry Limeade. Grab a box or two (or three... or four...) to stock up for the moment your cool cravings strike.
2. Key Lime Cookies
Cookies, anyone? Consider yourself warned; it's difficult to resist eating a whole box of Trader Joe's Key Lime Tea Cookies. Key lime is a classic summer flavor, but these treats are a new take that's a bit different from the pie we all know and love. They're perfectly bite-sized shortbread cookies complete with powdered sugar, key lime powder, and natural key lime flavor. They're definitely on our shopping list this summer.
3. Mango Cream Bars
Attention, mango lovers! When you're craving something a little more indulgent than the delicious dried mango Trader Joe's keeps stocked year round, you may want to try these mouthwatering Mango Cream Bars. These combine delicious vanilla ice cream with a mango purée coating. They're perfect for enjoying at the end of a hot day at the beach, so you'll want to stock up before they're gone.
4. Dried Australian Red Papaya
We love the dried fruit at Trader Joe's; it always provides a healthy snack or dessert when you want a bit of something sweet that you can enjoy guilt-free while pleasing your taste buds at the same time. And while we're always happy to grab a bag of Just Mango, it's exciting when a new variety hits the scene. That's why we're so amped on this Dried Australian Red Papaya, which is on shelves for a limited time this summer. This stuff is truly just papaya—unsweetened and unsulfured. But it's so delicious, you'll probably be asking yourself what they put in it.
5. Lemon Ginger Cheesecake
Lemon? Ginger? Cheesecake? Sign us up. We're major fans of cheesecake, and Trader Joe's does a pretty good job with their frozen varieties. This summer edition has our stomachs grumbling. It features lemon curd and actual bits of lemon peel—we're swooning! And if that wasn't enough to convince you that you need to add this to your cart ASAP, it's all completed with a gingersnap crust. What more could you want in a dessert?! Serve it up at your next summer soirée, or keep it all to yourself. We don't judge.
6. Coffee Mochi
Here's something for coffee and mochi lovers to look forward to this summer. Trader Joe's is no stranger to delicious mochi desserts, and this new edition (coming soon, according to the Inside Trader Joe's podcast) is perfect for java aficionados. The chewy rice mochi is filled with coffee ice cream. It's sure to please your taste buds—and it's gluten free, making it the perfect dessert for anyone with an intolerance or just watching their gluten intake. Score!
