I'm obsessed with your TJ's tastes tests! Like I get soooo overwhelmed by all the options and always end up sticking with the same few things. 😂 Ima need to get some of that white truffle popcorn!
I would love a video where you share your favorite things that you’ve tried from Trader Joe’s over the years, or a ranking of them? I watch all of your Trader Joe’s videos and I’m always like, “I should try that”, but then I forget what you recommended vs didn’t. Thanks😊
I cook corn on the cob in the microwave. Wrap in plastic wrap with a little butter substitute for 2 minutes. Turn over and cook 2 minutes more. I do it on full power. Unwrap and eat (when cool enough). Yum
I completely agree...pecans in general just taste kind of stale...I like them anyway but there is a stale-ish flavor that is inherent to them. Great video!
i really look forward to all seasonal taste test videos EVERY time. I'm from EU and will never be able to purchase it, but just LOVE watching it! please keep it up x
Tastes are so subjective. My family LOVES the Oat Nog! We don't find it too sweet at all, especially compared to regular non-vegan eggnog, which can actually have twice the sugar depending on the brand. For us the thickness is perfect. We shake it up real good, and I serve it in espresso cups, so we all get about a half a serving (1/4 cup), which is perfect for us. I like to serve it with a little sprinkling of cinnamon. We've also used it in our coffee or baking; like pancakes, cupcakes, etc.
I haven’t tried the other two but the basic cauliflower stir fry from TJ’s is great….I love it for breakfast. Poor Chris! Get better soon. I was recently soooo sick from flu/cold/laryngitis…..horrible stuff. Feel better!
Three GOOD reasons to cut down on rice these days: (1) arsenic and rice, (2) because of the arsenic, white rice is now more recommended than brown rice, and (3) cauliflower "rice" is much lower carb.
Must Try: Beefless Bulgogi with TJ's Japchae OR with rice and TJ's Gochujang and some veggies like carrots/cabbage/kimchi for a vegan bibimbap! Gochujang is a little spicy but in small amounts adds great flavor. Thanks for your TJ's reviews, guys! Happy holidays!
A lil tip for the products you don’t love: TJ has the best return policy, if you don’t like it or if it goes bad before you get to it you can return for your money back ! Love TJ for this since they come out with so many products all the time, makes it easier to try new things without worrying about potentially wasting your money.
A main dish on Thai restaurant menus is pineapple rice (for vegans: cashews instead of chix - - does that one taste like they were going for Thai spices ???
I don't have TJ around me (living in Europe) yet I always enjoy your taste tests so much! You approach them with such an amazing energy you are able to make even the worst products at least entertaining for us to watch :D Also, I always love your collaborations with Gardyn - it is such an awesome piece of equipment! I wish they were available in Europe! . Anyways, have a wonderful festive season ahead! Lots and lots of love!
I love your guys videos!! I made a list while watching your video of the things I have to get at Trader Joe’s next time I go! I didn’t know their marshmallows were vegan! I’m so excited to try those and the olive caper salad!!🥰🥰♥️🌱
Chris that Korean “beef” is soooo good with their new chimichurri, please trust me on this, the chimichurri is where they put the vegan pesto and hummus etc.
“Rice is just so much better. Why are we trying to play games?” For those that have a rice allergy or just don't like the taste of rice, I guess. I'd rather have barley than rice. So much better! 😂😂
Every time you make one of these videos I make a list and go shopping the next day. Can't wait to try some of these. I have found the Almond Breeze Nog to be the best tasting, no weird after taste. Even my non-vegan family members like that one.
Idk if someone commented, but you can buy those popcorn kernels that pop like that on Amazon. I buy them sometimes. But it’s been a few years. But it’s mushroom style popcorn, I’d share a link but I don’t want my comment to be removed idk your settings. Just check the pictures! 🤗
I sae a short from Sarah' vegan kitchen where she was under the weather and made some garlic soup. I wish I could send some to Chris! Feel better soon.
The bulgogi is amazing!!! We use it in stir fry. Barely have to add more sauce! Apparently someone found the original manufacturer (Nasoya), and it is like 2x the price compared to the TJs packaged one! We bought 5 last time to last a few months in case they stop carrying it
I love these taste tests! BUT is that a new caraway set? 👀👀 If you ever feel the need to ship the old 1, I can send my address. Ijs 😅 When Chris said "I'm not scared, I'm just terrified." 😂😂
"I'm not scared, I'm just terrified" 🤣 Dried cantelope- why lol! Thanks again for this taste test video! Always so helpful since trader joes can be pricey and I don't live very close by anymore. I might make the trek for the pasta and truffle oil/truffle popcorn! You guys are the best!
Also, on the steak tips, can’t remember if you don’t like sweet sauces, but those taste GREAT with a sweet spicy and tangy sauce all in one.. YUM! I do ketchup, maple syrup and garlic chili sauce .. sooo goood, can do on mash or rice.. YUM!
I am not a picky person (there are very few things I truly don't like), but I haaaate cantaloupe!!! It's got such a weird musky (almost rotten) flavor to me... so I feel ya, Chris!!!
The Bulgogi flavor is freaking addictive. I slice each piece in Half length wise to make it easier to chew. I’ve added it to the tjs Korean mochi sticks with the red sauce.
Another fun video. Love TJs. I get to go about one a month. Far from me. Can you guys try the vegan steak from juicey marbles. They have other vegan meat products also. Thank you
@Sweetsimplevegan I didn't think so. Their username wasn't highlighted with the checkmark. I sent an email to you guys earlier that includes a screenshot. But it says "Thanks for dropping a comment, you have been selected among our winners. Message me on telegram to claim". They have the same channel thumbnail as yours but there's a (.) After vegan. They posted that on a couple of other comments too.
Hands up if y’all LOVE that Jasmine and Chris do these for Trader Joe’s practically every season!!!! 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
Thank you both so much!
😂 “Rice is just so much better. Why are we trying to play games?” I totally agree.
Me too 🤣😊

The dried cantaloupe looks horrific and 🤣🤣 at Chris’ reaction LOL

Chris' smile at the beginning 🤣
He looks like a mannequin from Zumiez LOL in that shot
@@dawnkorpi😂
@@dawnkorpi I had never heard of Zumiez before 🫢😅
Also, a random comment: I love how in every taste test video Chris is nearly biting into a product and then waiting for you numerous times haha :D
Half almond nog, hot water, with steeped earl grey tea has been my go to holiday drink
i agree, coconut tastes like soap.
The Beefless Korean B is one of my favorites. If you cook it in the air fryer for a long time, it almost becomes like a jerky.
I recommend the Corn and Chile Tomato-Less Salsa! I make a dip out of it using 3 parts salsa with 1 part vegan mayo or vegan sour cream.
I cook corn on the cob in the microwave. Wrap in plastic wrap with a little butter substitute for 2 minutes. Turn over and cook 2 minutes more. I do it on full power. Unwrap and eat (when cool enough). Yum
Add coconut aminos to the riced cauliflower stir fry. So good.
I LOVE the chikn pineapple cauliflower rice ! My partner and I put chili oil crisp on top and chefs kiss.

Hi! Newbie here. After Chris said "it's corn" I subscribed immediately 🌽 🤣 yall are a vibe. And I loveee Trader Joe's. 💜
Haha thank you! :)
I put Valentina or tapatio on those cassava chips with lime and love them like that 😅
"I'm not scared, I'm just terrified" lmao

I love these videos! I chose one of your picks for Thanksgiving Turkey... and it was very good!

You two are literally the best ❤ Love your energy on camera! Such a great video!

The corn ribs are 🔥
These videos are so fun and helpful! Can’t wait to see what I should try to find for Christmas 🎄
Haha we do the same thing with our Alexa to find out if something we’re eating is ok for our dog to try 😂
You two were so adorable I had to subscribe.
What a great video! love you guys, you both are the best! You guys are so funny too
I love you guys
And your fur babies thank you for all the wonderful vlogs sending you love and light ❤️❤️
I don't have TJ around me (living in Europe) yet I always enjoy your taste tests so much! You approach them with such an amazing energy you are able to make even the worst products at least entertaining for us to watch :D

Anyways, have a wonderful festive season ahead!
Lots and lots of love!
fun fact: the super puffy popcorn is popped from a special kind of corn kernel called mushroom kernels
I'm so interested in that beef bulgogi. Hopefully they'll have that dish in our TJ.
I buy the bulgogi almost weekly lol I make them into Korean tacos with a slaw and sriracha soooo good!
Yum!!
I love your guys videos!! I made a list while watching your video of the things I have to get at Trader Joe’s next time I go! I didn’t know their marshmallows were vegan! I’m so excited to try those and the olive caper salad!!🥰🥰♥️🌱
Soo helpful!! What is your nail polish color??????
Chris that Korean “beef” is soooo good with their new chimichurri, please trust me on this, the chimichurri is where they put the vegan pesto and hummus etc.
We will have to try it, thank you!!
I air fry the corn ribs with a bit of butter and garlic ! It comes out so good
“Rice is just so much better. Why are we trying to play games?” For those that have a rice allergy or just don't like the taste of rice, I guess. I'd rather have barley than rice. So much better! 😂😂
You guys are hilarious 😂

Sex Lives of College Girls is such a weirdly addictive show... definitely a guilty pleasure of mine
I love the corn but I add herb butter and seasoning. I also cook mine in the air fryer. I'm obsessed with the beef
Love all your taste test videos! You guys always save me money!
So hungry now. Thanks for this one!
Idk if someone commented, but you can buy those popcorn kernels that pop like that on Amazon. I buy them sometimes. But it’s been a few years. But it’s mushroom style popcorn, I’d share a link but I don’t want my comment to be removed idk your settings. Just check the pictures! 🤗

I love that I am not the only one who asks Alexa if a food is safe for my pets before giving it to them hahaha
Real egg nog is delicious, no booze kind! Yum
The dogs 🥲
I LOVED the Korean Meatless Bulgogi!
You guys are so great and cool.... thanks for the content/reviews. Appreciate it!
Thank you so much!!
I see a trader Joes run in my future

“I’m not scared, I’m just terrified.” 😂
😂😂😂
I've never had chestnuts! Now i need to try them. Also cauliflower rice bothers me bc it squeaks in your teeth. If u know, you know.
Diluting the any type of "nog" with whatever type of milk beverage you like will help thin out and even out the sweetness.
I love these taste tests! BUT is that a new caraway set? 👀👀 If you ever feel the need to ship the old 1, I can send my address. Ijs 😅
When Chris said "I'm not scared, I'm just terrified." 😂😂
I’m with ya, I don’t like melon and cantaloupes!
"I'm not scared, I'm just terrified" 🤣 Dried cantelope- why lol! Thanks again for this taste test video! Always so helpful since trader joes can be pricey and I don't live very close by anymore. I might make the trek for the pasta and truffle oil/truffle popcorn! You guys are the best!
😂😂😂 thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Love u two
Lol love you guys 💝 happy holidays!
Happy holidays, thank you so much 😊
So many good Vegan options at Traders ❤
Lol, Chris is going to town on that corn!!🤣🤣🤣
You two are so cute!
Also, on the steak tips, can’t remember if you don’t like sweet sauces, but those taste GREAT with a sweet spicy and tangy sauce all in one.. YUM! I do ketchup, maple syrup and garlic chili sauce .. sooo goood, can do on mash or rice.. YUM!
You HAD me at ratatouille! will try those bites......the stir fry cauliflower is GREAT WITH edamame beans for a complete meal...waaay high in protein!
Eggnog to dip some dried cantaloupe in?! What?! You really don't like either of these haha XD
Omg love love love these videos you do ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am not a picky person (there are very few things I truly don't like), but I haaaate cantaloupe!!! It's got such a weird musky (almost rotten) flavor to me... so I feel ya, Chris!!!
Life Savers used to make a cantaloupe flavored life saver. It was my fave.
I honestly found the eggnog to be so flavorless, I didn’t even look at the amount of sugar 😂😂😂
Dip the cantaloupe in the eggnog 💀💀💀😂😂😂
The Bulgogi flavor is freaking addictive. I slice each piece in Half length wise to make it easier to chew. I’ve added it to the tjs Korean mochi sticks with the red sauce.
Tteokbokki :0)
I want this garden so bad…. Colorado growing season be like 6 weeks
Another fun video. Love TJs. I get to go about one a month. Far from me. Can you guys try the vegan steak from juicey marbles. They have other vegan meat products also. Thank you
also i have a question about the gardyn, how much energy does it take? how many kw per 24 hours?
Yall are soo cute and I love the taste test videos.
Thank you!!
I love the bulgogi! I mix it with the Trader Joe’s soyaki and rice!
🤣🤣😂😂that corn thing is ridiculous
Haha it really is!!
Jasmine! Your hair is getting so long. Wow! It's gorgeous!
Great video !
The granola is way better as cereal, it is my favorite granola ever
Jardiniere Chris no Gardeniere.
Thanks!
Hey y'all 💋
Coconut is like eating shaved plastic.
Is this legit?
Are the corn ribs non-GMO?
The olive salad looks amazing.
Jasmine, I love how you love to eat.
What’s Chris’ band hes in? I have a song of theirs!
Hey, I got a notification to telegram you guys as a winner. Checking if it's real
That’s definitely not us! Could you share the message you got?
@Sweetsimplevegan I didn't think so. Their username wasn't highlighted with the checkmark. I sent an email to you guys earlier that includes a screenshot. But it says

I wish would have list of stuffed you are talking about
Chris is me when eating cantaloupe...HATE IT *michael scott voice*
😂😂😂
i was getting so used to your "successful" TJ taste tests that this chaotic one def threw me off (still a big treat and always fun to watch tho)
Shake up the egg nog
I appreciate these types of videos. Helps me not buy everything at TJ
Egg nog is thick I can't wait to try I need a good one
If you have a Sprouts near you, their brand of oat-based nog is the most convincing one I’ve ever had!
@@Kaycee973 thank you so so much I do
I wish they would stop using sunflower oil in some many of their vegan products...
