Trader Joe's "Butter Chicken with Basmati Rice"

YES YES YES 10/10

             
This is amazing! I’ve read that Trader Joe’s carries really good Indian food, so I wanted to try it for myself. I wouldn’t consider myself a lover of Indian food… usually. But this meal made me think otherwise.


The microwave instructions are more intense than the typical frozen meal, but it is worth it for something that tastes so authentic. You’re supposed to put it in the microwave for 5 minutes on “defrost mode”. Then you’ll cook it regularly for 4 more minutes. 

One of the things I love is that the meat/sauce and rice are seperated. So don’t stress about soggy rice!


The portion of this is so big. It is such a realistic size for a meal, unlike Healthy Choice meals lol. You know how you get frozen meals and the chicken is 
nonexistent? Well don’t be scared of that here. There are huge pieces of juicy chicken in a pool of yummy sauce. And the basmati rice is super ( I hate this word aaaaa ) moist. I always mix it together in another bowl so I can mix the flavors hehe. The sauce has such a nice kick to it. It defs has some spice, so if you are the type thats favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla, then this isn’t for you haha.
These nutrition facts are a little plus in addition to such flavorful food. I was shocked that something with so much flavor could be healthier for you, and not have hella grams of fat! I think the protein count really shows how much beefy chicken is in there lol because I’m pretty sure rice doesn’t have really much protein.


This meal is only $2.99! And this is a complete dinner we are talking about. I think this is really nice for poor college students, like myself.


I LOVE THIS FROZEN MEAL. POOF. THE END.







Thank you so much for reading my blog!!

Trader Joe's: Hot & Spicy Chicken Wings

Rating: Eh, 5.5/10 Boo I wasn’t thrilled with these. Honestly, I think a pro-con list is necessary: PRO CON This was a really nice alternative to driving all the way to Buffalo Wild Wings It only came with 12 wings It was only $5.99 $5.99 is a good price, but I’d rather get boneless wings at BWW They were spicy and had great flavor There are “multiple” servings yet I ate all 12 BONE-IN WINGS SUCK.. #teamboneless Overall, I probably wouldn’t buy these again. Yeah $5.99 is a good price, but for all the work you have to do to get the meat off the bone, it’s not worth it lol. I prefer my Thursday nights at BWW with boneless wings.

Trader Joe's "Breakfast Trek Mix"

Image
Rating: 6/10 Let me start by asking, what the hell is trek mix? I’m just going to assume it’s another word for trail mix. I enjoy this, but I don’t need it in my life. The TRAIL mix consists of granola balls, almonds, dried cranberries and yogurt chips. The flavors are great, between the saltiness of the almonds and the sweetness of the yogurt chips. But, it doesn’t do enough for me. This is perfect for a snack… a small snack. If you’re at Disneyland and eat this thinking you’ll no longer feel hungry, then you’re stupid and guess what? Still hungry. I wouldn’t recommend this for a legit snack to keep you full, but more of a snack when you barely start getting hungry. I eat these in my classes, so I’m not too obnoxious bringing full ass meals into a lecture hall. What is great about these, are that they are individually packaged! There are 10 servings individually wrapped, which is perfect if you are on the go. Hmm, I actually never have looked at the nutritional facts un...
