Trader Joe's New Fall Items 2017

A new Trader Joe's opened up in my city so my mom and I went opening day to check it out. Here are some new foods that have quickly become my favorites.

Cornbread Crisps
Crunchy crackers that taste just like cornbread that are sweet & salty.

Butternut squash mac & cheese
This is absolutely to die for!!!! It's so cheesey with a touch of squash.

Organic Reduced Sugar Cherry Preserves
with 50% less sugar than regular cherry preserves

The next three items I used to always buy at Whole Foods so now I'm excited to find them being offered at Trader Joe's at for cheaper.

Maca Powder
Ancient Peruvian women would give Maca to their men before they went off to battle because it contains high amounts of protein and has been known to energize the central nervous system. For centuries, maca root has been used to combat stress and fatigue. Tosca Reno recommends using maca for weight loss because it's a strong hormone regulator - helpful for weight loss. You can add it to your oatmeal or protein shakes.

Nutritional Yeast
Fortified with B vitamins, these golden flakes provides three grams of protein. I flavor my tofu with it.

Coconut Aminos

Similar in taste to soy sauce but with less salt and no soy ingredients. Made in Sri Lanka, organic coconut sap is hand-harvested and fermented, then boiled to create an amino-rich sauce—13 amino acids.

Curried Carrot & Cashew Dip
Similar to hummus, it's a veggie-and-nut based dip.

Just Mango Slices
This is my crack! It's dried mango slices with no added sugar that tastes just like candy! Be careful though TJ's sells the same product with sugar so make sure you pick up the right package. It looks prettier in person.

Cauliflower crust pizza

Organic Kabocha Squash
You can use this frozen squash to make this delicious curry.

Apple Caramel Greek Yogurt
This tastes thick and delicious!

Butternut Squash Parmigiana

Spiced Cider

Pumpkin Marble Mousse Bar
Pumpkin cheesecake over a brownie base. My mom and I split one package so we wouldn't eat the whole thing. I pre-cut them into pieces so that I only grab one serving at a time.
