Great video. In order for Sundried tomatoes (Without oil) not to burn while baking them on high temperature, they need to be boiled in water for a few minutes. I drain them, slightly dry, add a little salt and a little olive oil. You can make the entire bag and keep it in a jar for a few weeks (refrigerated). If your oven is super hot, pizza that thin should be ready within 10-12 minutes top. Hope this helps
Congratulations Louise! From a lifetime of watching my weight, sometimes not too successfully), I know how hard it is to achieve that kind of weight loss. I just happened to find your channel and this Trader Joe’s episode was fantastic. I am going back on Weight Watchers and needed some different meals to spur me on. I am planning a shopping trip this week and look forward to seeing what my store carries. Thank you for your enthusiasm. 🥰👍
The pot stickers are the bomb. We love the Thai Shrimp ones. 🤤 Also, we do ours on steam in the instant pot and then toss them in the skillet to brown them. Try them with sweet chili sauce. OMG yum
Love TJ for so many reasons, big fan for years. I use fresh vegetables to those bags and salads, also they have great dressings to go with everything. I’m 70 and don’t like to cook, or heat up my kitchen in these summer months, stove top and microwave is all I do. ❤️
Loved this video. Due to the pandemic, I have not been to Trader Joe’s in over a year. Now that I am fully vaccinated, I can’t wait to go check out some of these items.
Louise I left TJ about two hours ago and this is what I purchased. Burrata, prosciutto and arugula pizza, pork potstickers, Mac and cheese(reduced guilt), chicken spring rolls, veggie fried rice, vegetable biryani, chicken chow main, chicken Caesar salad, Genoa salame provolone cheese, grilled chicken breast strips and a bottle Joseph Lander Sweet Lander. I cooked the chicken chow menu and a pork pot sticker. It was amazing Thanks
Great video! Love the list, love that you gave meal ideas and serving suggestions, love that you told the calories and serving sizes. That’s a lot of love. 😂 I need to make a Trader Joe’s run and meal plan immediately!
Love this haul!! I have to share with you Air fry the pot stickers!! They come nice and crispy! I dip in coconut aminos , sesame oil and the green dragon sauce I mix them and dip in that delicious also add a little sweet chilli sauce! And you must try the chicken cilantro won tons so good!! Low calorie you can eat like 10 air fry
Oh I will definitely be air fryer my next batch ASAP!! Thank you for the tip!! Do you have a time and temp that works or do you just wing it? I have that sweet chili sauce but haven't tried it yet, I think we are putting it on salmon tonight!
I wish those turkey meatballs came in a bigger package, LOL!! And yes I was so happy with that BBQ sauce, I tried the G.Hughes when it first came out years ago and thought it had a weird after taste!
So many processed foods! Buy some spinach, chick peas (buy the peas and soak in water), chicken, tahini, yogurt, cucumbers, carrots, nuts, black beans and make some almond flour bread. Flatbread (1): You can double and triple the batch • 1 cup shredded low fat mozzarella cheese • 1 tablespoon cream cheese • 1 large egg, beaten • ¼ cup almond flour • 2 cloves garlic, minced • ½ teaspoon dried oregano • ½ teaspoon dried thyme • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced • salt, to taste • pepper, to taste Preparation 1. In a medium bowl, combine the mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is fully melted and the consistency is smooth, about 1 minute total. 2. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes to prevent the egg from scrambling, then add the egg, almond flour, garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper, and stir until thoroughly combined. 3. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease with nonstick spray. 4. Transfer the mixture to the baking sheet. Press and flatten firmly into an even layer about ¼-½-inch (½-1 ¼cm) thick. 5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. 6. Serve as desired: slice into chips, cut into breadsticks, or top with your favorite sauce and toppings to make a pizza. 7. Enjoy!
I don’t talk about fruits and veggies because that should be obvious on a weight loss journey, these are items that make it more sustainable and fun! Low fat mozzarella, cream cheese & almond flour are all processed as well👍🏼
About to go to Trader Joe’s for the first time and this was the best and most helpful video. Thank you so much! Definitely helps with my own weight loss journey too
I'll have to try that stuffed mushroom recipe😋 have you tried cooking your chili lime chicken burger in the air fryer...game changer. I do about 6/8 minutes per side, crispy outside juicy inside! I like to serve it with some airfryer califlower gnocchi or tots! Hope you have a wonderful Easter!
Awesome!!! You did a great job. I enjoyed listening to you describe every item and I did not get bored 😀. Thanks and I’m going to subscribe right now and hit TJ as soon as I leave work today.
Love TJ for low cal and healthy options. I’m a big fan of the veggie fried rice too...Very easy to make and add extras to if needed😉. Thank you for sharing your favorites!
Thank you Louise, Californian here. I subscribed. Admit it was your WW video that introduced you to me , as I am a new member. However, does not bother me at all that you are now focusing on clean eating and not tracking. I have same philosophy, not giving up certain foods, nor using convenience items. Our family loves Trader Joes. May I suggest the Cowboy Quinoa Burgers ( frozen section). We make burgers using the Orowheat sandwich thins, arugula, some avocado, red onion. Yummy! Thank you for the ideas, I will try many of your suggestions. Do you like cheese? Try the Trader Joes Toscana Syrah with grapes and crackers. Its awesome.
Thank you so much, I am glad you're sticking around! I havent seen those burgers but they are now added to my list! And yes I'm a huge cheese lover but don't eat it all that often, I will add that to my list as well, thank you for the great suggestions!!😍
The turkey and shrimp patties are fantastic. Truly, don't hesitate on the shrimp burgers. I wish I had bought more. I live almost 2 hours away from TJ's. Trust me, I won't make that mistake again.
@@im_LaurenHays I ate mine in a low carb wrap with some mayo. I'm diabetic, kind of rules out regular buns. I'm sure they would be fantastic in a bun. They would be great on their own with a condiment of your choice and a veggie and salad. Or one of your favorite rice sides. Let me know what you think.
Too funny! ‘“Is this fake meat?” 😂 I also think it’s funny we both shared a TJs haul today/ 😉 I couldn’t find any non dairy yogurt though. I did get the turkey meatballs finally . Hope you had a great Easter!
I keep hoping that we will get a trader Joe's near where I live soon. Everything sounds so good. Especially when I want some convenient foods to help with meal prep.
I don’t usually do my regular shopping there because I find the produce and meat sections at my local stores are better but for fun stuff and convenience options, Trader Joe’s is the best😍
The chicken chow mein is my all-time favorite!! I also love the Trader Joe’s linguine and clam sauce. I also love the Alfredo. Your not kidding the hashbrowns are wonderful in the air fryer ! I’m gonna have to try those corn dogs.
This question may have been asked, but what’s the sodium content in a lot of these items? because normally that’s higher. I will say I do love those chicken sausages I’ve tried them all.... I’ve chopped them up to and put them in eggs
Thank you Cynthia!! I love trader joes about one a month for "fun food" that can still fit into my goals! Also great for fresh flowers and cheap wine lol!
THE BEST TACO SEASONING EVER. You also missed the cauliflower gnocchi! Unless you personally don't like it lol but I love it. I also bought the mini chicken cilantro wontons but haven't tried them yet.
I am not a fan of the gnocchi😭 I don’t think it’s Trader Joe’s specifically, I just don’t like the texture of gnocchi! I like the mini wontons too but I think I prefer the potstickers😍
Hi Louise! I'm a new subscriber to your channel, i was just watching another channel and than your popped up I'm glad that it did i really enjoyed watching and look forward to watching more of these video. TFS and have a wonderful evening Stay safe.
Thank you so much for another great video, food recommendations etc... unlike certain somebody (won’t go there as much as I’d like to lol) I as most truly enjoy you and your content you keep it real. Love you 😍
Umm...could you please make a video with at least 100 different ways to eat kale only? 🤣😜 for real though...thanks for showing us real humans some yummy options!
Hey thanks for posting these great ideas! Great list! I would only ask that maybe in the future you could think about including sodium content as that's always been my issue, more than calories. I'm always having to watch my sodium content due to hypertension issues so I'm always aware of the extra sodium it's amazing how much is added to some of these meals. But they are SO good!! LOL! I'm praying the sodium is low on those turkey meatballs because I WANT!!!! haha! Thanks again!!
@@im_LaurenHays I went to Trader Joe's yesterday spent $300 hahahaha I need one more freezer! The ONLY thing they didn't have was the chili lime chicken burgers I was sort of bummed. TJ's not near by I had to go into Illinois like 50 minutes away. But super happy now I am stocked up. I got everything you recommended and then some! LOL
@@im_LaurenHays Haha lol 😂 awwww. Those things are addicting. Lol. Yes I just bought a whole bunch of the turkey sticks. Haha I thought it was my taste buds so I had my hubby try it and he wouldn’t even eat the beef. Lol
FYI... gyoza is pronounced gYO-za not guy-o-za 🙂 Tasty little things. First time watching one of your videos. Thanks for all the ideas. Love Trader Joe's.
Thanks Raquel! Lots of fun trader joes finds! Right now I am counting calories and working with a dietitian! I eat higher protein (about 130g in a day is the goal), try to get in at least 2 big servings of vegetables a a day and a lot of water!
Great heads up on TJs, haven't been I a while!! Totally wish it were carb friendly :(( No worries ur young but girl when I hit ur 30's watch out!! Def great selection & will b on the hunt for some of ur recommendations!! ❤❤
Loved this, made my list while you were talking! Well, we're over an hour away from the one in Charlottesville, VA but I happen to have an appt at UVA on Monday so I'm heading there! Great timing!!! ;) I heard they have their seasonal body butter in stock for spring and its GRAPEFRUIT and I heard its to die for !!! Grabbing a few as they sell out fast! If you ever see the pumpkin one for fall, do not pass it by!!! Its heavenly. Ps, how is Hutch????
@@melmerk12 No worries Melinda! I have a ton of my old WW content still up, mostly in my meal prep and What I Eat in a Day playlists! The last year I've been working with a registered dietitian! Hope you stick around!
Thank you! My name is Lauren and Louise is my middle name so I used Louise Lane on TH-cam so it wouldn’t shop up if you googled me! Just want to have some privacy ❤️
You know I haven't tried it yet. My Arab friends just gag at the idea of chocolate added to hummus. They struggle with idea of it being culturally appropriating.
@@AshleyUpdike it tastes kind of like frosting but not as rich! The texture is definitely the same as a savory hummus! Thank you for sharing that’s definitely a good perspective to share!!
You can adjust the playback speed on any TH-cam video to either slow it down or speed it up. You can slow it down to 0.25x, 0.5x, or 0.75x the speed for example if she is going too fast for you. This is easy to do but varies based on whether you are using the desktop or mobile version of TH-cam. I suggest going to google and searching “how to change the playback speed on TH-cam” for step by step instructions. I hope that helps!
The full list of items I mentioned are listed out with calories in the description box for you! Thanks for watching & happy shopping!
Thank you for providing the list and thank you for all the helpful suggestions!
Great video. In order for Sundried tomatoes (Without oil) not to burn while baking them on high temperature, they need to be boiled in water for a few minutes. I drain them, slightly dry, add a little salt and a little olive oil. You can make the entire bag and keep it in a jar for a few weeks (refrigerated). If your oven is super hot, pizza that thin should be ready within 10-12 minutes top. Hope this helps
Okay this makes so much sense!! Thank you so much!🙌🏼❤️
@@im_LaurenHays You bet!
I use the Kale spinach dip as a pizza sauce on the TJ fresh pizza dough. Add chicken sausage, onions and spices so good!!
Uhhhh yum!
Okay Lynn you've been holding out on me, that sounds AMAZING!!!
We're trying to lose weight here, Lynn!! 😂 That sounds delicious!
@@TinaPlus2andMore the points and or calories are not bad at all!!

Best Trader Joe video I've seen.
Thank you so much Judy!😍❤️
Great video and ideas!! We also love the veggie fried rice with ground turkey, and extra added bok choy or broccoli
Agree with so many items in this video! Trader Joe's frozen section is where it's at!
It’s the superior freezer section 😍
This is the best info. I go every week to TJ & some of these I have never noticed! Ty🙂
Oh yay!! I hope you find some new favorites 😍
Love this video. Try the Cippopino a frozen seafood stew. Add extra stock and tomato paste, shrimp and red pepper flakes. My husband's favorite.
Oh that sounds amazing!!! Morgan would love that I think!
Thank you! I don't know why I don't spend more time in the frozen section, but I'm excited to have some things to try.
I love having frozen options on hand when we aren't really in the mood to cook or if we are low on groceries!! And they're just fun lol!
The frozen section is so awesome and has saved me so much money (and calories) on takeout especially during lockdowns.
Ran out to get some fresh flowers at TJ's today and decided to grab some of your recommendations from the frozen section!
Ahh TJ's does have the best flowers!!! I hope you like what you found, definitely let me know!

Beautiful and brilliant videos always!! Thank you 🙏 so much dear Lauren!!!
Thank you Ann!!! Hope you had a great Easter!!
This question may have been asked, but what’s the sodium content in a lot of these items?
because normally that’s higher.
I will say I do love those chicken sausages I’ve tried them all....
I’ve chopped them up to and put them in eggs
I’m sure Google can tell you the sodium of each product you’re curious about!
Hello... I really enjoyed your live video. I do not shop at TJ but I think I will start! 😊 Ty for sharing. You have a cute and fun personality. 😍
Thank you Cynthia!! I love trader joes about one a month for "fun food" that can still fit into my goals! Also great for fresh flowers and cheap wine lol!
How spicy are the chili lime chicken burgers? And thanks for the great suggestions!!
That one isn’t spicy at all actually!😍🙌🏼
THE BEST TACO SEASONING EVER. You also missed the cauliflower gnocchi! Unless you personally don't like it lol but I love it. I also bought the mini chicken cilantro wontons but haven't tried them yet.
I am not a fan of the gnocchi😭 I don’t think it’s Trader Joe’s specifically, I just don’t like the texture of gnocchi! I like the mini wontons too but I think I prefer the potstickers😍

Thanks Raquel! Lots of fun trader joes finds! Right now I am counting calories and working with a dietitian! I eat higher protein (about 130g in a day is the goal), try to get in at least 2 big servings of vegetables a a day and a lot of water!
so informative...ty for taking the time out of ur day. I really appreciate it.👍🏻🌞
Awesome video! New subbie.
Yay!! Happy you're here Karen!
I just made my grocery list 🤣
Yaaaaasss😍🙌🏼🥳 the store awaits!

Hahahahaha🙌🏼 that’s what I’m saying how can you thumbs down Trader Joe’s!
Great heads up on TJs, haven't been I a while!! Totally wish it were carb friendly :(( No worries ur young but girl when I hit ur 30's watch out!! Def great selection & will b on the hunt for some of ur recommendations!! ❤❤
Thanks for watching!!!
Gotta try some frozen food you recommended
Trader Joe’s is definitely the superior frozen section!!😂😍🙌🏼
Thank you 🎁♥️🎁. The Best 👑🐝
Thank you!!❤️
The thumbs down was probably the same one that left the snarky comment.
Probably so 😉
Ok
Did you know that the fried rice with chicken is less calories?? You can just take out the chiken.
Interesting!!! I didn't know that!
I don't see Erin's information below
Oops just added it!!
Loved this, made my list while you were talking! Well, we're over an hour away from the one in Charlottesville, VA but I happen to have an appt at UVA on Monday so I'm heading there! Great timing!!! ;) I heard they have their seasonal body butter in stock for spring and its GRAPEFRUIT and I heard its to die for !!! Grabbing a few as they sell out fast! If you ever see the pumpkin one for fall, do not pass it by!!! Its heavenly. Ps, how is Hutch????
I will have to check for the body butter next time I’m in there😍🙌🏼 hutch is doing great!! Him and Morgan are besties😂
I noticed you don’t track WW points ......did I miss something? 😬
I quit WW over a year ago lol!
Yes.... I just saw the video! Sorry!
@@melmerk12 No worries Melinda! I have a ton of my old WW content still up, mostly in my meal prep and What I Eat in a Day playlists! The last year I've been working with a registered dietitian! Hope you stick around!
I live no where near a TJ. Watching anyway lol
Ahhh love you for it😍🙌🏼
Bad link for your Amazon favorites!
Should be working now!
Hi! I’m enjoying your channel 😁. I don’t understand your channel name if you are Louren. There must be a story.
Thank you! My name is Lauren and Louise is my middle name so I used Louise Lane on TH-cam so it wouldn’t shop up if you googled me! Just want to have some privacy ❤️
Makes sense 😀
@@im_LaurenHays L, I’m corn fused. If people Google my name, my channel comes up.🤔
can I get your dieticians link. 😎
I use Erin at www.theceliacspace.com/ her entire team is amazing!
I wish they wouldn't call it chocolate hummus
I think the ingredients are similar to a savory hummus, tahini, chickpeas, etc! What do you think it should be called instead?
You know I haven't tried it yet. My Arab friends just gag at the idea of chocolate added to hummus. They struggle with idea of it being culturally appropriating.
@@AshleyUpdike it tastes kind of like frosting but not as rich! The texture is definitely the same as a savory hummus! Thank you for sharing that’s definitely a good perspective to share!!
Mac and cheese is plain. I mean that’s just me. I guess
Shrimp burgers from Trader Joe’s are NOT amazing. Fair warning
Omg good to know!!!! Thanks!!💕
Hello I see you love coffee I have weight loss coffee if interested dm ☺️
Please slow down!
You can adjust the playback speed on any TH-cam video to either slow it down or speed it up. You can slow it down to 0.25x, 0.5x, or 0.75x the speed for example if she is going too fast for you. This is easy to do but varies based on whether you are using the desktop or mobile version of TH-cam. I suggest going to google and searching “how to change the playback speed on TH-cam” for step by step instructions. I hope that helps!
Thank you Tiffany, this is super helpful!!
@@im_LaurenHays good, I’m so glad! I’ve used this feature to slow down dance videos on TH-cam to learn the steps, for example.😅
@@tiffanykeller7530 haha omg that’s genius!!!
HaHa. And I listen to Lauren at 2.0.
