Welcome back to another installment of Trader Joe’s New Finds! Compared to last month, March was definitely not the most eventful in terms of new finds at Trader Joe’s. My shopping trips and hauls focused a lot on trying to eat healthier, so I stayed away from most of the new goodies! I guess this post will be short and sweet!
Here are all the new items (both new to store and simply new to me) in March 2021.
Spicy Mochi Rice Nuggets
- New to Store
- Verdict: Tasty and Crunchy – will be a repeat buy!
Spicy Mochi Rice Nuggets are Trader Joe’s new version of the plain Mochi Rice Nuggets and I must say, they are pretty fire! They really have a great spice to them, along with good flavor. You really don’t need to eat too many at a time in a sitting, but they are the perfect crunchy snack you might reach for in the afternoons or even on a road trip.
Garlic Naan Crackers
- New to Me
- Verdict: Definitely a new top favorite item
I am super ashamed to admit that I waited so long to try the garlic naan crackers! I don’t think I will ever need to get another kind of cracker for snacking again. These are tasty with Trader Joe’s hummus varieties, and make an excellent vessel for cheese and charcuterie meats.
Ricotta & Lemon Ravioli
- New to Me
- Verdict: Very good and super simple to make!
How could I have resisted this lemony goodness for so long? I am usually a fan of the fresh pastas at Trader Joe’s, and these raviolis are no exception. To cook them, just boil in water for a few minutes. For serving, I tossed mine with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and black pepper. I also added some tart cherry tomatoes and fresh chopped basil. Delicious! I split it into two for lunches.
I had originally intended to wilt some spinach in with this, but I ended up using the spinach for my breakfast eggs. The basil did just fine as my green substitute, and added extra flavor.
Garlic & Red Curry Thai Noodles
- New to Store
Admittedly, I have not gotten a chance to try these yet as I’m saving them for a rainy day when I need something quick and easy either for lunch or dinner! If you’ve given them a try, what did you think?
Mrs. Bridges Strawberry Preserve
- New to Store
- Verdict: Delicious!
Trader Joe’s is starting to incorporate more products into their stores that aren’t under the Trader Joe’s brand. This jar of strawberry preserve from Mrs. Bridges is one of them! The strawberry preserve is great for spreading on an English muffin along with some organic almond butter. A simple and hearty breakfast ready in minutes!
Vegan Tzatziki Dip
- New to Store
- Verdict: Can’t even tell it’s not dairy!
Lastly, we tried the new vegan tzatziki dip! You really cannot even tell there is no dairy in this product.
Instead of my usual homemade sour cream tzatziki, we used this vegan dip as a topping for our chicken shawarma rice bowls and it added a nice tangy, cool flavor to the dish. We are not dairy free or vegan, obviously, but I love grab and go items like this that I can just use straight out of the package!
That’s it for new Trader Joe’s items I discovered/tried in March 2021! Are you a fan of any of these items?
