Trader Joe’s is one of the best places to grab summer and springtime snacks and goodies for your pantry.
The popular grocery chain is constantly churning out new, original, and inventive products that can sometimes sell out quickly, so it’s best to know which ones are worth getting. Still, since so many options exist, it can be hard to know which items to grab and which can be left behind. Luckily for you, we’ve compiled a list of six new Trader Joe’s items that are hitting shelves this month, and you will want to take them home with you during your next visit. Read more about them below.
Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!
1. Buffalo Ranch Popcorn
If two of your favorite snacks are buffalo dip and popcorn, then you're going to love the new Buffalo Ranch Popcorn. The flavorful popcorn, which is popped with coconut and sunflower oil, is coated in a spicy buffalo ranch seasoning that will remind you of eating delicious wings or buffalo chicken dip.
A 5-ounce bag only costs $2.99, and it's a limited-time product, so be sure to grab it as soon as you can. This popcorn is an excellent snack for movie nights, picnics, or when you need a slightly spicy pick-me-up.
2. Fiesta Salad With Shrimp
Looking to switch up your weekday salad lunches? Look no further than the new Fiesta Salad with Shrimp, which is being sold for $6.99 a package. The Mexican food-inspired salad includes romaine lettuce, cooked, seasoned shrimp, black beans, roasted corn, tortilla strips, pico de gallo, and a rich and creamy poblano dressing. To tie everything together, the grocery store adds a lime wedge to squeeze over the top of the salad for a little extra tang and flavor.
The salad comes pre-packaged and ready for easy assembly, so it's a good find for those who like to eat on the go or need a quick lunch at work.
3. Sparkling Matcha Lemonade
Matcha is an extremely popular green tea-based beverage these days, and Trader Joe's has decided to combine it with people's favorite summer beverage: refreshing lemonade. The Sparkling Matcha Lemonade comes in 12-ounce cans for $1.99 each.
This special and creative drink offers a revitalizing option for those who need new drinks for their summertime gatherings or simply a mid-afternoon boost. Pack them for the beach or stock up your fridge to have them on hand for parties.
4. Tom Yum Seasoned Snack Mix
If you're getting tired of buying the same old trail mix, you should check out the new Tom Yum snack mix, which takes trail mix to the next level with Thai-inspired ingredients and flavors. The mix includes roasted cashews, crispy fava beans, crispy green peas, and crunchy clusters of sticky rice.
Some of the spices in the mix, which are used to take its flavor to the next level, are lemongrass, chili pepper, and Thai lime leaves. The creative seasoned snack mix is sold in 5.29-ounce bags for $3.49 each.
5. Raspberry, Vanilla, and Blueberry Macarons
If you're looking for a patriotic-looking dessert for upcoming holidays like Memorial Day and the 4th of July, you'll want to pick up a few boxes of these colorful Raspberry, Vanilla, and Blueberry Macarons. The sweet and crunchy French-style cookies come in three classic flavors and look aesthetically pleasing. There's a variation for every person that attends your warm-weather gatherings this year.
Each 5.53-ounce box comes with 12 macarons, so there are enough to keep your family happy if you want them in your pantry. However, we have a feeling they'll disappear faster than you think.
6. Sour Strawberry Candy Belts
Spring and summer are popular seasons for sitting around and eating fun treats like candy. Trader Joe's is a fairly underrated place to shop for candy, but we have a feeling they'll have a better reputation for their gummy sweets after these grow in popularity.
The Sour Strawberry Candy Belts are flat, pale pink sweet and sour strips that are made using natural flavors and vegetable juice for coloring, so if you're a parent, you can rest easily knowing that your kids won't be consuming extra food dyes.
Pack these in a lunchbox or put them in your beach bag for a fun treat under the sun.
