When it comes to meal-ready protein, Trader Joe’s is the BEST, and we’re adding these TJ’s chicken meatballs to our regular rotation! The ground poultry is mixed with mild Monterey Jack cheese and seasoning that reminds us of our favorite hot wings. Heat them in the air fryer, microwave, or oven.  Find them with the refrigerated prepared proteins.

Not in the mood to cook but don’t want to pay for takeout? Pick up a ready-to-eat meal from the refrigerated section. The pre-cooked filling is a savory mish-mosh of ground chicken, water chestnuts, and shredded carrots seasoned with ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and more. Load it onto the accompanying lettuce leaves, and top with crispy noodles and sauce!

Fans of Crunch and Krackle bars: You need these! They’re made especially for Trader Joe’s by a bean-to-bar supplier in Colombia—the 60% Colombian dark chocolate is mixed with crispy rice then poured into extra-snackable stick shapes. Each stick has only 30 calories and under 2g fat, so you can have as many or as few as you like, any time!



And that’s all we’ve got. ‘Til next time… Chew the right thing!
