Trader Joe's "Green Goddess Salad Dressing"

Rating: 8/10



This dressing is POPPIN. It’s located in the refrigerated salad dressing section, right next to the salad kits. What’s great about this dressing is that it straight up has the ingredients on the front, because it is just THAT healthy. It is a thick dressing, which I really enjoy. Whenever I eat salads with this dressing, I actually feel satisfied and full. It’s nothing like your basic light balsamic vinaigrette, but I’m sure has the same nutritional facts.


Not only do I use it on salads, but I use it as a marinade for CHICKEN! I randomly decided to do this because I ran out of my veggies and the dressing was about to expire and frankly, it was the best decision I made. All I did was pour it over my chicken breast before popping it in the oven… EASY! It was basically a healthy pesto chicken, yum!

 Also, it is only $3.69. Now you could say that this is expensive for a dressing, BUT I feel like this would run for $5-6 at Whole Foods. This is some fresh shit.
It had such an amazing flavor. You can really taste the different components of the dressing. You can taste the avocado and the basil and the lemon juice ug now I’m hungry haha. Oooo, I’m having a Ratatouille moment.


I took away 2 points because it expires in 3 weeks or so. BUT now that I know the dressing is bomb on chicken, I know I’ll use it more often.

Trader Joe's: Hot & Spicy Chicken Wings

Image
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...

Trader Joe's "Butter Chicken with Basmati Rice"

Image
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 her e. There are hu ge pieces of juicy chicken in a pool of yummy sauce. And the basmati rice is super ( I hate this word aaaaa ) ...
