This is one HOT carb-slashing rice swap! Seriously, it’s super spicy, but amazingly flavorful and delicious. In addition to cauli’ rice, this freezer find contains tomatoes, bell peppers, and jalapeños. We’ll be topping it off with light sour cream to mellow out that heat. Love, love, love!

Trader Joe’s combined two slam-dunk winners—sous-vide-style egg bites + their fan-favorite Unexpected Cheddar—to create one of our new favorite breakfast finds. The cheese has the creamy bite of an aged cheddar + yumminess of an aged Parmesan. And the turkey sausage? YUM. Grab them from the refrigerated case at TJ’s. Ready in a microwave minute!



Trader Joe’s Chicken Mole

5 oz. (about 1/3 of container): 190 calories, 7g total fat (1g sat. fat), 530mg sodium, 12g carbs, 1g fiber, 6g total sugars (6g added sugars), 20g protein

Another great Trader Joe’s find! Stash this dark-meat chicken entrée in your freezer for times you need an easy & satisfying lunch or dinner. The sauce is rich, flavorful, and spiced to perfection (without being super spicy). Load it into high-fiber tortillas, make a protein bowl with veggies & rice… Do what you like, just get it into your face!
