I love Trader Joe’s for so many reasons. The produce is always fresh and plentiful, the employees love their jobs (or do a really good job of pretending), and it’s extremely affordable. What more could you ask for? Trader Joe’s enables me to eat vegan (and oftentimes organic) on a budget, and for that I’m forever thankful.

If you don’t live near a Trader Joe’s, I’m sincerely sorry. You probably won’t get much out of this post, and may even get slightly annoyed at how enthusiastic I am about a grocery store. If you do have access to a Trader Joe’s and have recently switched to a vegan meal plan, I encourage you to read on for some of the best vegan items at Trader Joe’s. Even the most loyal Trader Joe’s shoppers may discover a new favorite pantry, fridge, or freezer staple. Here we go!

Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth

Just because Trader Joe’s low-sodium vegetable broth goes easy on the salt doesn’t mean it lacks in flavor. Try it as a base in vegan soups and stews and for cooking quinoa.

Trader Joe’s Crunchy Almond Butter

This is where Trader Joe’s really delivers value. Its crunchy almond butter packs a ton of fiber and is modestly priced compared to organic versions at health food stores.

Frozen Organic Blueberries

I keep a bag of Trader Joe’s frozen organic blueberries stocked in my freezer to blend into smoothies. They’re also tasty when mixed into a vegan breakfast bowl.

No-Salt Added Fire-Roasted Tomato Salsa

This low-sodium salsa is perfect for making guacamole, eating with tortilla chips, and for adding a spicy kick to a grilled veggie burger.

Organic Black Bean Soup

Trader Joe’s organic black bean soup is full of fiber and has zero added sugar. Eat a cup with your sandwich or salad at lunch and you’ll feel satisfied, not stuffed.

Harvest Grains Blend

Trader Joe’s Harvest Grains Blend has the best of everything in one bag: couscous, orzo, baby garbanzo beans, and red quinoa. Enjoy it in soup, with a salad, or as a side dish.

Falafel Wrap

When you’re eating on the go, Trader Joe’s falafel wrap is an easy and healthy alternative to hitting the drive-thru – again. Plus, it’s naturally high in vitamins A and C.
