My favorite definitely has to be the Mandarin Orange Chicken. My husband as I actually had it for lunch today! We can’t leave without picking up at least one (usually two) bags.
I love that you show gluten free options! My son is gluten free and it can be so hard to find good gluten free options! I also love your lunch series! My daughter will be starting kindergarten this coming school year and your lunch series has given me so many great ideas for her lunches!! ❤️
We live about 2hrs from Trader Joe's. When I get the chance to go I have to stock up on the frozen sweet potato gnocchi. My whole family LOVES it! ❤️👌🏼
I've got a Trader Joe's about 3 miles from my house. (SoCal girl here) 😊 I always love getting their vegetable fried rice and their vegetable potstickers. The potstickers pair well with their sweet chili sauce. So good and definitely a fav in my house. I need to try that butter chicken and grab the pizza mac and cheese for my kids. Loved this video!
I love Trader Joe’s, I will have to try all of these suggestions, my favorite frozen foods are the Roasted Peppers and Onions mix for fajitas and the roasted potatoes mix with peppers and onions, both are great for easy meals. The Hatch Chili Mac and Cheese sounds so good! 😀
The frozen Indian food is my favorite from Trader Joe’s as well! I actually mix the chicken tikka Masala one with the paneer one! I doesn’t look the best, but it tastes really good!
The Mandarin Chicken is a game changer ! My favorite frozen product at TJ's is the frozen Rice in the 3pack super easy just 3 min in the microwave and they have assorted rice packages!!
I shop at Trader Joe's and they have great items. I'm going to try the gluten free items you mentioned. I like the butter chicken too. I really like the Pasadena Salad and the fresh green beans already trimmed and ready for cooking.
Mac and cheese is easy to make fresh at home. Put real cheese, veggies, milk or cream, butter, garlic, spices, and I put leftover ham from one I roasted in it. Use what you have in the house. Make a lot of it in a big pot. TJs seems affordable but what they are doing is selling a lot of snacks that are cool. They’re still a good store, but it’s not being used to buy all the food groups. If something is too tedious to make, I buy.
Im Chinese and we don't have orange chicken as part of the menu in many Chinese restaurant. So I'm kind of amused whenever I see westerners say orange chicken is Chinese food... Well, there are way more Chinese food which are really common in many Chinese countries like dumplings and sweet and sour pork. but definitely not orange chicken which many of you guys call it "Chinese food" and I hope you guys could have a chance to try it somedays :)
My favs at trader Joe's are the frozen tikka masala meal as well as the frozen whole grain frozen waffle. It tastes way better and less processed than eggo waffle
I LOVE Trader Joe's! Unfortunately, there isn't one close to where I live now. :-( It's such a fun grocery store and they have high quality food for great prices!
We love the garlic naan and I get the regular chicken drumlets nuggets for my kids every time I'm there... but i have one of the guilt free mac and cheese in my freezer now also :)
Great top favorites! Im in Cali so everyone I know shops at Traders! When Im really broke Id add the cheese enchiladas. I think they are $1.99. LOVE the mac & cheese and orange chicken.
We went to Trader Joe's for the first time last week. We were not a fan of the orange chicken. We did like the cauliflower broccoli burgers and the Korean tempura cauliflower. We might go back today and try the pizza.
Hi Jennifer, we have 2 Trader Joe's in Nebraska. Love! The closest is 90 minutes away, but we try to go when we can. Haven't tried any of your Top 5, but plan too. Thank you for the ideas!
The mac and cheese looked so yummy esp the spicy one😍 We have similar Indian frozen dinners at Wegmans here in NY...they're fab! There's a version in a pouch in the international aisle by MRE or MRC something like that, and their paleek paneer is heaven😍 Not too spicy at all and with spinach and cheese kids love it. Awesome GF pizza u found! They normally r much smaller (Amy's) and very pricey. Super fun vid! Makes me want some chix nugs right now💗😍
Love it. I'm a single working mom. I know Trader Joe's has good quality food. I choose organic products and produce. When I'm at the cashier register checking out I'm always pleased by my bill for goods..Thanks Trader Joes:) Thanks to the individuals who cover products by Trader Joe's and meals as well
Never been to Trader Joe's. The closest one to me is almost two hours away. I see UA-camrs talking about Trader Joe's all the time. I really wish there was one close to me. Have a blessed weekend 😊
Haha I love all these recs! My husband over heard “orange chicken from the Chinese restaurant” and he asked me if this was a white lady speaking. And I said yes but I love it anyway haha you totally made my day!
Trader Joe’s is part of a German company and is run by one brother and Aldi is run by another. Many of the products from both stores are imported from Europe. Their chocolate is hands down the best from Austria and Belgium. The company is the largest grocery company in Europe. Those of us who have both Aldi and Trader Joe’s are truly fortunate.
We love the orange chicken, as well. I usually fix Trader Joe's fried rice from the freezer section. I Doctor it up a bit with soy sauce and a scrambled egg. Love your videos.
My son likes the Mac n cheese balls. The cauliflower rice is always a staple. Their fish nuggets are good too. If you like mango, the Mango and Cream bars are delicious! Not frozen, but I always get their caramelized onions cheese block 🙂
We have several in Michigan but the closest one to me is 3 hours from my house 😏. We bring a cooler & make a day of it. My husband loves their mac & cheese to. I love just about everything, there r people pulling for one to come closer to us 😍
I absolutely love Trader Joe’s and need to get there more often! I always pick up tater tots there. It’s so hard to pick a favorite frozen item because they are all so good.
Thanks for the Trader Joe's video. Haven't been but there is one an hour from my house so I really want to try it out! Always wonder what is good to buy there.
Jennifer you must try the tamales at Tj's they are over by the fresh salalds and pre made sandwiches/wraps The tamales freeze well so yummy cooked with a squeeze of lemon/lime and dash odakr
I really want to tea the mandarine Orange chicken, but we don't have a Teaser Joes in Germany. We have only a few items from Trader Joes at our Aldi markets...but it looks so good.
Trader Joe’s used to sell a pesto and tomato pizza and it was my absolute FAVORITE, but then they stopped selling it. I do love the orange chicken from them too, everyone loves that though! 😂
Caroline Garrison get drivin’ girl!!!! Get some more :) It’s on the other side of town for me so it’s a decision to go. A food store near me went out of business and I prayed a TJ would be out in. But no :( booo!
Hi Jennifer Can you do some air fryer recipes?? I just bought one and need some ideas! Also gluten free recipes ♥️ AND TJ’s tikka masala is my allllltime fave, you should try the mushroom risotto SO CREAMY AND BUTTERY AND DELISH

Not orignally, Trader Joe's is named after its founder, Joe Coulombe. The chain began in 1958 as a Greater Los Angeles area chain of Pronto Market convenience stores. it was purchased by Theo Albrecht in 1979
My favorite definitely has to be the Mandarin Orange Chicken. My husband as I actually had it for lunch today! We can’t leave without picking up at least one (usually two) bags.

Trader Joe's is an Aldi owned and operated store- so German.

My favorite frozen item at Trader Joe’s is the Spanakopita. It is so delicious and at $3.99, such a deal! I buy 2 just about every week!
Love the orange chicken, the spices, unsweetened green tea in the bottle, the black pepper asiago cheese sour dough bread to name a few.

I love the orange mandarin chicken with Trader Joe’s cauliflower stir fry! Amazing!
I like Curry. I tried Butter Chicken curry, and it was really good.
I love their chicken fried rice, chow mein and barbecue teriyaki chicken. I stock up everytime I go.
Try palak paneer it is so tasty and make sure that you have so much butter on it
My favorite frozen item is the mixed buttered veggies, they are awesome!

Spinach Dip is in the frozen section it taste like TGI Friday
I LOVE Trader Joe's! Unfortunately, there isn't one close to where I live now. :-( It's such a fun grocery store and they have high quality food for great prices!
Trader Joe's and Aldi are sister stores. Owned by the same family. We love their frozen meatballs with the sriracha bbq sauce. Spicy and delicious.
I agree with all of your choices, but you also must try their frozen chicken soup dumplings- so yummy!!!
Love Trader Joes! I'm there shopping at least once a week!! Love all the items you shared too!!
I Love the mini beef and chicken taco in the frozen area. Also the fruit bars
We have Trader Joe's here in Columbus. I don't have a favorite frozen meal but their pesto filled tortellini is divine!
I don’t know how I missed this one, but this is such an awesome series!! ♥️
We love the garlic naan and I get the regular chicken drumlets nuggets for my kids every time I'm there... but i have one of the guilt free mac and cheese in my freezer now also :)
My fav frozen item is artichoke hearts it's the only place I can find them without tons of oil and salt.
Great top favorites! Im in Cali so everyone I know shops at Traders! When Im really broke Id add the cheese enchiladas. I think they are $1.99. LOVE the mac & cheese and orange chicken.
I'm really impressed with the prices for the items. I live in Florida and I don't think we can get whole foods for that price
The mandarin orange chicken is really good. We also like the frozen quinoa...easy to prepare.
Will give it a try :)
Man, I wish they had a trader Joe's here in Hawaii. Your trader Joe videos make everything look so good. Good information though.
