Vegan Trader Joe’s Items 💫 June 2022 Haul

Iconic Candy Bars now VEGAN thanks to Go Max Go 🍫🧡⭐️🤩

Do you or did you before going vegan love iconic candy bars like Twix, Snickers, Heath, Milky Way, 3 Musketeers?

The chocolate coating of these bars tastes like milk chocolate, but it’s dairy free and vegan!!

If you miss these iconic candy bars from your pre-vegan days, or even if you’re not vegan, these bars are better in every way!

Check their website for locations near you that may have them. Also available to order on their website and Amazon.

Just love these bars and wanted to share in case you are looking for something like these in your life!

My favorite is the Buccaneer which is like a 3 Musketeers. Yummmm!!

I went 🍌 B-A-N-A-N-A-S 🍌at the grocery store

I went 🍌 B-A-N-A-N-A-S 🍌at the grocery store!!

I was tired of always running out of frozen bananas for smoothies.

Are you a banana smoothie person?

I like to make a thick milkshake-type smoothie with bananas, water or plant milk, and my favorite protein powder. Lately I started using Ka’Chava chocolate protein powder @kachava I use the vanilla when I add berries. So delicious!

Do you have a favorite protein nutrition powder?
What do you like in your smoothies? Answer with emoji(s), just for fun. 😄

Cheers!!

P.s. Is it just me, or do you think we need a smoothie cheers emoji too?

4-Ingredient Watermelon Spring Summer Salad Recipe

4-Ingredient Watermelon Spring Summer Salad Recipe

🌱 The combination of watermelon, tomatoes, fresh-squeezed lime juice, and fresh mint makes this spring salad/summer salad so refreshing and delicious. It's plant-based, gluten-free, oil free, and vegan.

🌱 Great to serve in the warmer months, or just keep in rotation on the regular. Meal prep friendly, the salad will last a few days in the fridge. My non-vegan friends gave this watermelon tomato salad recipe a big thumbs up.

🍉 Watermelon Tomato Salad Recipe Ingredients

3 cups cubed watermelon (approximately 1 1/2 inch size pieces)
2 1/2 cups Campari or other medium-size tomatoes, quartered
3-4 limes, juiced
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint

🌱 Feel free to adjust amounts to your preferences.

🌱 Toppings are totally optional. Here are some suggestions.

* A pinch of sea salt on brings out even more of the flavor.
* Hemp seeds add some nice texture and a little nutty flavor.
* Vegan feta makes this a watermelon salad with feta. If you like that combo, go for it!

✨Would love to know if you make this, how you served it, with what toppings, and how you liked it.

✨ Note: If you are a fan of feta cheese, Follow Your Heart’s vegan feta is the most delicious store-bought vegan feta I’ve had that I love and recommend trying.

This latest Trader Joe’s haul was a bit bonkers. I purchased most of the items shown here. I’ve tried many. Have you? What ones do you love, like, don’t like? Any other items we should know about?

NEW VEGAN ITEMS at TRADER JOE’S Vegan Spinach &

NEW VEGAN ITEMS at TRADER JOE’S

Vegan Spinach & Cashew Ravioli - Thin stuffed pasta with spinach and a velvety cashew filling. My sister and I both really enjoyed these. They cook up in 4 minutes… talk about a quick meal!

Vegan Buffalo Style Dip - Creamy and delicious. Maybe more of a newish item since I think this came out in March. Love the ingredients. First on the list is cauliflower. There’s also carrots, red peppers, and pumpkin seeds for some added crunch.

Have you tried these? What do you think?

How would you eat them?

I’m totally mixing that dip with mashed chickpeas to make a buffalo chickpea spread.

Any other new, newish, or oldies but goodies Trader Joe’s items you like that we should all know about? Drop a line in the comments.
