Trader Joe's Frozen Food Review - What to Buy & Avoid!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ต.ค. 2019
- We went back to Trader Joe's to review every single frozen food item there. You guys love the frozen food section of Trader Joe's because they have very unique food items that appear to be healthy. Many of them are pretty good quality, but many of them have some pretty shady ingredients. The biggest shock of this video is that we did not get kicked out of Trader Joe's, but it was really close at the end. Mad love Bobby...Dessi...and Art! XOXO

He was carrying the baby like a bag of rice 😂

I would find it really helpful if you would list the Bobby Approved products below your video.
+1 i agree!!
Agreed!
If he did that, why would anyone watch???
@@StandardDeathRate
Yep !
@@StandardDeathRate for the details. But nobody wants to have to re-watch he whole thing to find what they are looking for.
As Brazilian who grew up eating açaí, I’ve found TJ’s has one of the best frozen açaí around very tasteful. Thank you guys. Great video as always. 😉
Love! Happy to see a lot of my TJ staples are Bobby approved. I'm a die-hard Aldi & Trader Joes shopper and I greatly appreciate you making these videos. You've gotten me reading labels more and more for my family!! Signed a WW member not Keto but either way into clean eating!!
Thanks for being such a rebel and bringing us great content! This was really helpful! Thank you Bobby!!!
These are sooooo helpful. Thank you for all your hardwork. Priceless ending!!! Now another crazy idea: what if you would tell us what you would buy if you had to do all your grocery shopping at traders Joe for like a week?
Yeah because I pretty much only shop at Trader Joe's and I buy a few things at a store called Sprouts. But I'm about 90% Trader Joe's.
Great idea!
good idea!
Hahaha i love how when you see an employee coming your code word is “Waldo” 😂
I am so addicted to learning about what the best foods at local food stores. Unfortunately some people don't care. If the FDA put higher standards on what is allowed in food, our nation would be healthier.
I wanna do a video about how messed up the FDA and food pyramid it!
FlavCity with Bobby Parrish definitely do it :)
And the healthcare mafia would hurt financially
I think you're looking at it the wrong way. Customers should KNOW BETTER and avoid the foods that are bad for us, thus forcing food producers to produce quality food via higher standards. There is no need to use a government institution as our babysitter, especially considering how prone to corruption any entity becomes with such regulating power. Don't forget that an educated populace is what generated demand for new brands that actually paid attention to health and ingredients.
None of our regulatory agencies are doing their jobs anymore. They are fully owned and controlled by the very corporations they were supposed to regulate. Funny how that happened and even funnier how no one gives a crap. That’s why there have been vaccines that were literally contaminated with broken glass. They have zero liability, why would they bother making them safe? And in the case of contamination, they don’t bother to pull product or notify the patients that received the contaminated batches. It’s a sad state of affairs, the greed has completely taken over the country.
I’m really enjoying your videos and look forward to seeing them. I have learned so much! Great work not getting kicked out this time.
Trader Joes has been around for 40 years here in CA. I've got some inside scoop.....
75% of their products are made by natural and organic companies from the natural foods industry; ie: Amy's Kitchen frozen foods, Annies Mac n Cheese, Tofuti, Barbara's Bakery makes most of their crackers, etc......TJs slaps their cute labels on those products. You can find most of the exact items in WFMs and at natural/gourmet markets at a much higher price.
Thank you. Good info.
Guy walking around like he just pulled that baby outta freezer and carrying it like a pizza to his cart 😂
That's a red flag to me. Are we sure he didn't just kidnap that baby??
I have learned so much about ingredients that I rather cook fresh things at home labels drive be crazy!!! Thanks for what you do I appreciate you guys!
He's a scam I'm sorry he tells u stuff that isn't true at all
You crack me up! I’m so glad you didn’t get kicked out. I’m always nervous for you. Thanks for all the great info, I learn so much from you. 👍😊
Bobby, I really like the b roll style of filming. I like being able to read about the ingredients while you’re talking about it. Can I please suggest that you make a list of the products you discuss in the description box please !!!
I'm dying at the end, best ending!😂
Y'all make such a great team!
Was I the only one who was anxious , afraid for them to get caught?
Yeah, it’s pretty awkward
Love this video
Such a great video thanks for all your hard work Bobby and art !
Love these videos. Always watch a few before I head off to TJ's, WF's, etc. One thing I would note is that I'm always looking at the Protein/Carb/Fat ratio, and between that and what is "clean" according to Bobby, it feels like I can't buy anything. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
Thanks so much for these videos! Very helpful for shopping and also to learn more about labels! Great job guys!
Credit to Trader Joe's when in 2008 they stopped selling single ingredient food from China. Lot of contaminated food from China was being recalled back then.
I always look out for you at TJ! Thanks for the info it makes it so much easier to shop here. TJ has a lot of no no’s but a lot of Bobby approved also. I’ve cut out so much sugar and natural flavors.
Love your channel! You are my reference for EVERYTHING! Thank you Bobby!!!
I get excited every weekend knowing that ur gonna post a video!😁
Thank you for educating all of us!!! 🙏🏼
Really useful video, thanks! Perfect For folks like me who are Joe’s newbies and get a little overwhelmed, definitely going to rewatch and write down all the recommendations.
I love your determination....way to go.
wowww! thanks Bobby for giving us insightful info about the ingredients on TJ's foods. I'm a regular shopper there but trying to be mindful in what i'm buying. so these health tips were so well needed. :)
Never get bored of your videos. Where's Waldo makes it even more exciting!! Love from the burbs!
Thank you so much for the effort put into these videos.
Really appreciate your hard work. Great info!
Yay! Good job. Love your videos because you are helping me to make good choices whenever I go grocery shopping! Kudos to that!
Joy4BeautyandHealth, me too, although it takes me twice as long to grocery shop now as I read every label. Shop the perimeter of the store, but still need to read labels.
Thank you very informative! Totally digging your channel! Would look to see what you think of the pot stickers from trader Joe's or other stores. My sin usually eats them for lunch. Thanks
I just subscribed cos you’re so good at explaining about the ingredients. Thank you for this video.
This helped me a lot thanks bobby!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Love your videos--thank you! Happy New Year from Philly!
I can not even lie, I am obsessed with these videos that y'all take risks of getting kicked out for. I love when you and Art are in the grocery store. But I would still appreciate pictures and talk overs too. I'll take whatever. Didn't know that about yeast extract, thanks!
I don’t know how employees don’t notice you, at my local Trader Joe’s, there’s at least 1 or 2 employees restocking in each aisle
Patricia Griffith have you watched the video? There are plenty he says to avoid as well.
@Patricia Griffith Silly to say that as Bobby literally shut down most of the products in this video...so much for pushing their brands
Not super early or at lunch time
I usually go around 9 and it’s pretty empty... sooo nice!
Every since I started watching your channel, I find myself looking at the ingredients list of stuff I buy while I'm in the grocery store and I think what I'm eating! But I still get confused about what to buy and what's still okay to eat.
Keep watching and keep learning. The more you hear the information, it starts to stick. Good luck!
Same. I feel a lot better
love to hear that..but its tough!! even I mess up some times ;)
It would be easier if there was a list of Flav- approved food at all the stores they review . Always good advice !
Tamara, since you posted your comment, I believe the Bobby Approved eBook shopping guide has been released. It also has automatic updates. www.amazon.com/Bobby-Approved-Ultimate-Shopping-Grocery-ebook/dp/B07Y8RSFBQ/ref=pd_sim_351_1/131-9088979-8504019?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07Y8RSFBQ&pd_rd_r=52ba0ff7-e20c-434d-995c-c274e4189a1e&pd_rd_w=l7U6r&pd_rd_wg=vDdef&pf_rd_p=04d27813-a1f2-4e7b-a32b-b5ab374ce3f9&pf_rd_r=3D7J27EQ8DQ19NRBD2RR&psc=1&refRID=3D7J27EQ8DQ19NRBD2RR
I don't understand how anyone could dislike this video,I loved it!!!! Learning so much from you guys and you're fun! 😁
Bobby would you consider doing a show at The Dollar Tree or or other low cost stores to help people who want to eat healthy but have little $. Thanks
Costco actually has good deals on organic produce, but it’s not practical to buy in bulk if you live alone. If you have time, gardening is a great way to grow your own stuff on the cheap.
Dollar tree doesn’t have anything health to eat. Trader Joe’s is a lot cheaper than wholefoods.
He does an Food Stamp Aldis video that is really good.
You cannot get healthy food at DT
Ashley Lala don't eat food from the dollar tree..... i went to trader joe's for the first time last week and found their prices to be surprisingly cheap! i didn't spend more than $2.99 for an item except meat
I've started making my own ice cream ingredients are pretty simple heavy cream, condensed milk, vanilla extract & whatever flavors you want.
I'm so lazy that I just freeze sliced banana or strawberries and snack on them. It's not ice cream but the bananas are sweet and frozen.
@@mOnika-pt6vk Whatever floats your boat 😀
I love you for what you have done to educate my family! I have 3 kids and a single mom and I have always read the labels even if I couldn't afford to buy the food. My kids never ate anything artificial, food coloring or bad oils. I send them all your blogs. But having you generously evaluate and EAT the fast food chains is genious! I am your biggest fan and can't thank you enough. You are amazing in every way.
very informative as usual! I think I prefer the b-roll because I can see the product better and I don't have to stress about you guys getting caught LOL!
FlavCity team- excellent video! Well done.. thanks for the good to know info!!! #mad 💕 & ☮️..
I actually prefer the b roll style of filming!
tired of seeing my face!? ;)
Same! I’m a visual learner, and it’s much easier for me process what Bobby says by looking at the products and labels themselves instead of being distracted by his handsome face 😉
FlavCity with Bobby Parrish please be careful! My TJ’s here in SoCal has a posted sign, “no cameras or recording.” I LOVE your videos but would hate to see u get seriously reprimanded 😅
Jumping Jac Studios it makes it so engaging!
Great video! Very insightful! I’ll be binging your videos! 👍🏻
The ending was priceless 🤩🤩
Great video guys! 👍🏻🧡👍🏻
Stealth....the quick shots of the ceiling 😉 great info.
This is the first video I've watched on your channel and I thought it was very informative and quite witty. Thank you for sticking your neck out to make such a well reviewed and honest video. New subscriber here :)
You didn’t get kicked out! I was so excited lol .... thank you always for your videos 🥳
I love the cowboy burger, so finding it Bobby Approved made me so happy.
The ending was my favorite part! 😂
What a great video! Thank you so much for the information!
Yes, you guys didn't get kicked out! Actually I think it would be hilarious to see or hear when a store does kick you out 😂. Oh plus doing shots of the B-roll I enjoyed.
I've seen/heard it on several Trader Joe's videos. 😂
This makes me want to go out and shop at TJs immediately.
Hey 👋 Thanks for uploading another awesome video and for inspiring me to make my own TH-cam channel! Your the best! Lots of love from Canada 🇨🇦
Finally spotted the açai packs in my TJs, I was so happy.
You are so great at what you do!!!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!! These are very helpful!!
Your my go to guy when I want to buy something from Trader Joe’s, Costco or Whole Foods!
Sometimes I’ve run out of ideas what to get, I’m tired of the regular things I always buy at these stores. Thanks for giving me new ideas 👍👍
Oh and can you do a sprouts review also... I go there a lot! 😜😜
I'm so disappointed with the cauli crusts in the store! I am going to try your recipe for the cauli crust this week! Thanks for the great review videos!
Im already fit, but it never hurts to get better. Thanks for what you do!!!!!!!!!! Dont stop!!
You make it so easy to understand what's good and bad without over explaining. Thank you for sharing and helping us stay healthy!
Is there anything at Bob's Red Mill that wouldn't make your list or is everything there good?
Love you guys! Thanks for the awesome video!!!!
I made creamy garlic scallops with white wine and added your recommended risotto with the riced cauliflower and butternut squash and it was AMAZING!!!!! Total Yum! I've missed risotto and this was better than the real thing IMHO. Thank you!
Just got your book! So excited to try your recipes! :)
exciting!!! let me know how you like it...and pls make sure to review on amazon ;)
THANK YOU, I just came upon YOU via your AMAZING Almond milk video a month ago and have been making MY OWN ever since ( after at least 15 years of buying Almond breeze and Silk). I was going to request a Trader Joe's video as it is one of MY favorite stores. WHOLE foods is a WHOLE FRAUD and Walmarts has horrendous employee practices. I stay away from TJs frozen food with exception of the peas, the acai, blueberries and strawberries. YOU are certainly an EARTH ANGEL 🙏💚😇
Amazon is delivering your cookbook to me today! Yay! Can’t wait
hooray!!! you ill love it..thanks...please make sure leave a review after you get it ;)
Thanks for making this....I will definitely be reading the ingredient listing a little more closely....
"Enriched" is also another one to watch out for and it's in so many grocery items
Don't forget the frozen Pain au Chocolate (chocolate croissants)
Hits like, starts watching 😁. Love Trader joes videos, very informative. Thank you!
ROCKSTAR!
What, no love for Target ;)
These videos are very helpful!
Thank you!
Wish we had Trader Joe's or their counterparts ALDI here in this part of Canada. Loved this video, especially Art pushing Bobby in the cart at the end.
I must be the only one who doesn’t like the orange chicken. It’s not good. Only tried it once ages ago. A tip for the gnocchi, bake them. They come out way better baked.
Thanks, I will try baking them.
I don't like the orange chicken either....too sweet
Gnocchi have always seemed too heavy for me
Its been a long while since I bought this item but thought I might share what I did with it: cook chicken enough to really crisp it to hold up to sauce. Then add a bit of leftover cooked chicken ( not breaded ) to stretch the sauce thus its not overly sweet. Toss in some frozen sliced bell peppers ( also from Trader Joes, and frozen broccoli if desired . Pineapple works well in lieu of added veg ). Finally I would add either cashews or sprinkle sesame seeds over top before serving.
Spiral Breeze I didn’t think the orange chicken was so great either.
The whole time I watched this I was hoping you didnt get caught! Thank you for the information.
Thank you for your hard work ❤️
Love your videos, but it would be really helpful if you also included the sodium values. A lot of wonderful TJ's offerings we've had to put back because the sodium levels of some of them were off the charts.
Thanks for the informative videos as I prepare to start Keto. I bought your cookbook & the pictures with the recipes are wonderful! Now i am in search of a farmer who does 100% grass fed beef & chicken. I'm going to a farmers market this weekend to stock up on fresh caught from northern lake huron trout & salmon. Thanks you & Art for the shopping videos that keep me learning!! 😁
you can defo find grassfed beef and pasture chicken!! ou wil love the book, thanks! Make sure to leave a amazon review ;)
I will leave Amazon review right now, Thanks for reminder.:)
Love your videos!!! Keep them coming
undercover with a microphone attached to your t-shirt ! hahahah nice !
We have one Trader Joe's in Rhode Island and I've never been to it. But because of you, oh my God when I go grocery shopping all I do is read labels!
Thanks - I was wishing we had one (since so many people rave about it) but now I don't care. I'll stick with Sprouts for most of my shopping with a little Frys/Kroger thrown in. Great job as always gentlemen.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INFORMATION YOU ARE AMAZINGLIFE ALWAYS.
Y’all are awesome. Thank you.
"They have no outside products." Nah dude it's just repackaged other brands. The Whisqey is Evan Walker. The bread is Orowheat. Source: Used to work there and used MyFitnessPal to scan various items when they'd show up new. The UPCs always ran as different name brand products.
It's true. They make deals with makers to repackage it under their own label. The makers love the volume of products they can push. That's how they keep the prices down. In fact, that's how they grew their brand - "Trader". I found out long ago when they changed out my fav dark chocolate bar for their label.
We do definitely rebrand other products but there are in fact plenty of products made exclusively for Trader Joe’s.
Yes, Trader Joe’s is very upfront about this. You can listen to their podcast and they talk about it. That’s why their prices are so much better than Whole Foods
It's all private label, but made by other companies. It's hit and miss, but most of their cookies and snacks are awesome!
Patricia Griffith _ Most retailers partner with private label suppliers because those suppliers often have decades of experience making specific products. This is a good thing.
Thank you for the interesting perusal through the frozen food aisle!
Fantastic video. Undercover video recording is not easy at Trader Joe’s. Their employees are always restocking.
🤭 my face after seeing non Bobby Approved products in this video that I’ve purchased and eaten. Really appreciate your videos and knowledge drops!
I loveeeee this tea spillage
You are so educational. Doing the work for me. Thank you. Can you make a video on kids foods? Like juices, snacks etc?
Love love !!!!!!! Keep up the good work !
Very interesting video keep teaching us thanks for all you do ! Can you tell me what is the best butter to buy? Worry about cholesterol everytime
I find a good butter with not much sat fat : the oil In it is not good . You guys have fun 😎. Greetings from Baltimore !
Bobby always recommends Kerygold butter or grass fed.
kerrygold or organi valley cultured butter! dont worry about Cholesterol...
The Emerald Isle Irish kind I bet.
I’m always nervous when Bobby and Art film here! But I love Trader Joe’s!!!
I like that you go through the frozen pizza, rice, meals etc.
Love TJ's. They have some great foods that no other store has. PROBLEM: The one in my city periodically discontinues items, some of which I buy frequently.
I love this video. I know so many people who assume anything sold at Trader Joe’s is healthy. I’ve never been a huge fan. I would read the labels and put it back most of the time. I shop there occasionally but I’m very careful and always read labels! I’m also way stricter than you. I don’t have canola oil, expeller pressed or not. That eliminates a lot!
I love the TJ plain turkey burgers, they have so much flavor!
Do you have a video on healthy low sodium options for food at trader joe's? Love your videos!
