Trader Joe’s Summer Must-Haves

With Summer officially in full swing, all the tasty treats are back. One of our favorite stores is Trader Joe’s, with its low prices and wide selection of foods it’s a go-to spot for many people. With summer here, let’s check out some of our must- have items from Trader Joe’s to beat the heat and enjoy the  sun. 

A few of the items included are seasonal and some are year-round, but be sure to add them to your next shopping trip! 

BBQ Pulled Chicken 

This oven roasted, shredded chicken is tossed in a tangy tomato sauce. Perfect for that summer barbecue or cookout with the family. Makes a super quick and delicious dinner that everyone can enjoy! 

Sweet Corn, Burrata and Basil Ravioli

Who doesn’t love some good ravioli, and this concoction is the perfect mix of flavors. Sweet corn is a summer favorite, and mixed with creamy burrata, maybe topped with pesto or cherry tomatoes are the perfect touch. 

Southern Peach Crisp Ice Cream 

One of the best parts of Summer is ice cream, hands down. While local ice cream shops are always the go-to, having a stockpile at home is also a necessity. This peach crisp ice cream tastes exactly like an actual peach crisp- but better.

Sea Salt Brownie Bites 

We recently just tried these out, and now can’t get enough. Small, bite-size brownie bites, sprinkled with a little bit of sea salt are the perfect treat to cure that late-night sweet tooth. Rich and chocolaty, the perfect combo of sweet and salty. 

Lemon Chicken & Arugula Salad 

Trader Joe’s has a ton of amazing, fresh, salad options that are perfect for meals on the go in the summertime. Fresh arugula, topped with grilled chicken, couscous, red quinoa and a mix of spices, this salad is tasty and filling. Included is a red pepper dressing to top it all off. 

Frozen Hash Brown Patties

If you haven’t tried these, you are truly missing out. Just as good, if not better, then the other restaurants, and you can make them at home! Pop in the oven, or the air fryer, these make a perfect addition to any breakfast or even eat them alone as a snack! 

Tangerine Cream Bars

These have been all over social media, and for good reason. Inspired by the taste of summer, these are truly something special. The shell is made with orange and tangerines, with an inside of cream vanilla. Perfect way to cool off on a hot summer day. 

We hope you pick up some of these fun treats next time you’re at Trader Joe’s!
