Favorite Trader Joe’s Treats?

posted by vreiss

gonebananas.jpgI heart TJ’s. I love their commitment to natural foods, friendly service, great prices, and the incredible deliciousness of the TJ’s house-brand foods (not to mention those expandable sponges!). We only recently got the stores in NYC and the one nearish me in Brooklyn is actually shop-able (read: the line is less than an hour on weekends.)

Though all of the above keep me shopping there, what makes me need to shop there is Gone Bananas! their creamy, dreamy chocolaty, deeply satisfying choco-covered frozen bananas. At 160 calories, three main ingredients (banana chocolate, sunflower oil), they’re a reasonably healthy, incredibly yum-o snack.

You can check out the nutritional info for Gone Bananas and more TJ’s foods (and other packaged foods) at The Daily Plate on Livestrong.com.

What are your most beloved TJ’s snacks?

Waking Up to Your Dreams (by Wendy Schuman)
Are you a frustrated dreamer? I know I am. I often wake up with fragments of scenes echoing in my mind that seem really meaningful--but then I leap out of bed, start my morning routine, and in seconds they're gone. I want to linger in that realm and tap into the guidance and insight rising from a wi

Oh Trader Joes, I missed you when I moved away from California! I loved their chocolate bananas and their healthy yogurt. I think they were just coming out with glucan supplements when I moved, but that would be another thing I would try mixing into recipes.
