@@zaraannett3119 I actually slice it and freeze each individual slice in a separate plastic bag. If I know I'm going to have one then I just take it out and let it defrost on the counter and it tastes the same. If I'm in a hurry, I'll pop it in the microwave for a few seconds till warm and eat it. It's the best way for me to ration it and watch my caloric intake.
I love this format! Please do this again. I personally loooove the birds nests and it's great with the Thai sweet chili sauce! Next time get the Japanese fried rice!
Ooohhh their Japanese Fried Rice is my jam!! Before I add it to the wok, I sauté some minced garlic, onion powder, and red chili flakes in a little bit of oil or water. Then I throw the rice in and cook it up. 🤤
Yeah and Indian food is known for having spice, so I would think for the most part, people who don't like spicy food won't like it... Haha. But I love spice and have an extremely high spice tolerance level, so I don't know what it's like to eat "mild" Indian food because I always get it really spicy😂
Just FYI. That chocolate sauce was probably perfectly fine. Most shelf items are good way past their "use by date". It's easy to waste food because we often buy things on a whim and then forget about them. You can look up individual items but if something smells and tastes alright there's a really good chance it won't kill you;)
Aww I wish y’all did the soyrizo! It’s my absolute favorite! I definitely recommend making a just egg and soyrizo burrito. Delicious!!! Add Mexican red rice and beans and avocado omg the best.
When I was hiking the PCT I brought Annie’s boxed dairy free mac-n-cheese. I poured the dry noodles and flavor packet in a ziplock baggie. After breakfast I put the dry noodles in a plastic jar with hot water. By lunch they just needed a few minutes cooking over my pocket stove to get soft. I added the cheez powder and stirred, then added sriracha from a travel sized packet. It became my favorite go-to backpacking lunch.
That pesto is sooooo good. I also love soyrizo and the cashew fiesta queso dip. Put them together with some pasta and veggies for a chili Mac and cheez of sorts. Oh, and the masala veggie burgers are my favorite! I think the bird nests are too oily personally.
I love the Trader Joe's Vegetable Fried Rice. I always have some in my freezer. Not as oily as a lot of other vegan frozen foods at TJ's. It is great with nori sheets and gochiujang sauce or paste. BTW Don't forget to sneeze into your elbow to stay safe!
I saw the Calabrian chili pepper sauce in the haul and immediately thought “oh no! That is too spicy for jasmine.” I use like 1/4 tsp at a time because it is spicy but it has such good flavor. I add it to pasta, mac n cheese, and to sandwiches.
Ooh the black cherry and dark chocolate one?! My mom and I love that one! My mom isnt vegetarian by any means, but she prefers vegan ice cream more than regular ice cream
I'm going tomorrow, my family isn't plant based, but we do want to try to eat less dairy products. Do you recommend the ice cream they tried or the soy vanilla to try first??
Sima Kassem unfortunately I haven’t tried the one they had in the video. while the soy creamy definitely doesn’t taste like regular ice cream, it’s really smooth and has a rich vanilla taste! the cherry chocolate chip one kind of tastes like a frozen yogurt with light cherry flavoring - not too overwhelming and has lots of chocolate chunks.
the frozen falafels are so good, also their Garlic Aioli Spread is my favorite spread they have omg soooo good, especially on their remade pizza crust as a "white" pizza. MUST TRY
@@lenora-yoder no, that's different. This one is a white spread next to all the hummuses and dips. Clear container with purple lettering. Says vegan on it
I practically lived off the Jackfruit Curry for 4 months, I love it. I thought it was funny that you found it to be that spicy, lol. Maybe if you tried mixing it with the rice. I've never tried it the way you guys were eating it. I've always mixed it together.
So excited for this video! I'm going on shops about every two weeks and always stop at Trader Joes, I bet I'm going to have to add a few things to my list!
The vegan tikka is so good. Can't wait to try their turkeyless burgers and other new products. I'd also recommend their Thai gyozas and Japanese Fried Rice 👌
I love the birds nests, I put them in a 400° oven with a little bit of oil for 15 minutes on each side to Chris, and then I dipped them in vegan sour cream.
Some of our TJ faves: 1) Chili Lime Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips. They're AMAZING and addictive, so buy 3 bags at a time. 2) Barbeque Popped Ridges -TJ's version of Pop Chips 3) Tandoori Garlic Naan in fresh bakery section. frozen ones not V. 4) seasonal sugar cookies from bakery section 5) Everything But The Bagel Sprinkles - great on Avocado Toast 6) Soy Chorizo for Taco Tuesday w/ authentic corn tortillas, your fave fillings and topped with vegan Cilantro Lime Crema - O M G.
Yes! We just found the tempura cauliflower and it is amazing! Jasmine might not want the sauce because that does have a little spice, but besides that, it's amazing!
Your mac and cheese comparison is the reason I now keep Amy's mac and cheese stocked in my freezer. Sometimes I add a little extra shredded of whatever vegan cheese I have on hand. That stuff is bomb. And my two cents, true mac and cheese shouldn't contain squash or sweet potato or the like.
Nice video. I love Trader Joe’s. Check out the Japanese stir fry rice, teriyaki tofu, and the buffalo hummus. They also have a really good autumn vegan soup or chili (can’t quite remember) with butternut squash. It’s over near where you got the vegan Mac and cheese but it might be seasonal.
Omg you guys are seriously MIND READERS!!!! I've been obsessed lately with Trader Joes and have been planning an epic shopping trip!!! This was such a happy coincidence and a light to my day! Ugh I LOVE YOU TWO!!! Thank you for all that you do! Btw - Trader Joes has a GREAT podcast!
22:48 Let's take a second to acknowledge her Uncle-Roger style knee above the table, executed quite unpretentiously and naturally. Nigel Ng would be proud
Don't take this the wrong way, but you guys apologize, made me feel a little normal (I do it a lot too.) You guys do a fantastic job, I love how honestvyour reviews are. Also you guys come off so genuine, and make it less scary for me personally to go vegan. I'm working on cutting dairy out, cheese is my only weakness.
You guys have to try the cauliflower gnocchi but don’t cook it how the bag says. Pan fry them or air fry them. So bomb with their kale pesto and sun dried tomatoes
I grew up eating Chicken and Dumplings as a kid and the TJ’s Vegan Mac N Cheese reminded me of the dumplings. It definitely didn’t help with my Mac craving! That Jackfruit curry and the vegan cashew fiesta cheese are two of my faves there!
pro tip, our vegan mac and cheese is amazing if you add a little more salt, some pepper and garlic powder. i like to add cayenne pepper or chili too, cuz I enjoy spicy mac, but without is also still great!
This was great!! Added some items to my grocery list 👍🏻 next time try the vegetable nests in the air fryer if you have one - I bet that would get the perfect texture on them
omg i’m obsessed with so many items from TJ’s !! i recently bought some of these items, like the jackfruit curry and tikka masala and i can’t wait to try :))
I love this video!!! I don't mind the quality at all. And I liked that it kept going and going and going!!! Loved seeing all the options in one video!!!!!
I love their Asian fried rice, refrigerated pizza sauce, refrigerated organic salsa, refrigerated oat milk, allll their vegan ice creams, new sugar cones, fruit sweetened strawberry spread is bomb! Cultured coconut yogurt in vanilla and blueberry is delish. Organic Valencia peanut butter is superior. The unchicken flavored salt is great as is the everything but the bagel seasoning. Their ratio reigns supreme! But yes! Do more of these videos as they are fun to watch. Y’all need to get married already. Lol
yesss 28mins, how awesome! i really enjoyed you trying all the products:) i live in germany so i don’t have access to a trader joe‘s but it’s so much fun just seeing you guys share your opinions. keep doing your thing 💚

When Chris gave Jasmine literally all his rice, my heart melted. Y’all are so cute!!! 🍚 ❤️ Loved this video!!
Totally agree 🥰
yessss, when he gave her his rice it was literally everything.
like, i'm filipino. rice is literally life.
and the lil thank u🥺❤️
i almost cried omg
His energy is so kind and sweet. He always has a smile, it’s nice
BEST VEGAN SNACK: Trader Joe's Plantain Chips!!!! Also, love the Vegan Banana Bread, Vegan Tikka Masala and the Birds Nests!
Plantain chips are just bomb!
yes!! I love the jerk style ones
I can't buy the banana bread anymore cause I eat the whole thing in a day

Yes same! The Japanese fried rice is sooo much better than the other Trader Joe's one. (and the birds nests are amazing too)
LOL, for anyone watching who likes spicy food (like me), the jackfruit curry is NOT spicy at all... Jasmine is just a super taster I suppose 😄
It's not spicy to me either! I thought it was funny she found it to be that spicy. I love that one.
Yes it's not spicy at all, you are right
Yeah and Indian food is known for having spice, so I would think for the most part, people who don't like spicy food won't like it... Haha.

She discussed having a geographic tongue and fissures in an insta story recently. Makes her sensitive
jackfruit curry is spicy af. It's gross.

Yea I was so sad they didn't even try it and just threw it away... The manufacturies just need to put a label to not get sued for expired food
Definitely
@@teresamaria3525in
H
I agree. Still would've been fine. Was a little sad when I heard it hit the trash can.
I love how your VIDEOS are so REAL how your inner reactions with each other
You guys are so cute together and so caring in so many details. So sweet to watch! 🥰🤍
My boyfriend is bugging me to ask what shorts Chris is wearing during the first part of the video because he really liked them 😭
You guys should get an air fryer!! They’re amazing, I’d throw the birds neats in for a bit and they’ll come out crispy and hot and delicious 🥰
What would you put the air fryer on and for how long
Aww I wish y’all did the soyrizo! It’s my absolute favorite! I definitely recommend making a just egg and soyrizo burrito. Delicious!!! Add Mexican red rice and beans and avocado omg the best.
The tikka masala is my favorite. They need to bottle the sauce!
What does it taste like? I want to try, I’ve never had Indian
food.
@@maritzamarie1156 kind of a spiced tomato sauce with cream or butter mixed in
@@knowyourhistory OMG that sounds amazing 🤩🤤
Britt Natto I’ve actually found tikka masala sauce in the grocery store. I’m going grocery shopping today and I’ll let you know if I find it again.
Yes!! I 100% agree.
I love the honesty of "we're lazy asses." 🤣

I appreciate the clip of the pups in there 😍 Love this video!
Tip- if you eat something too spicy put salt on your tongue - I know it sounds weird but will help stop the heat...Love you guys! Thanks for the vids!
The mac & cheese tastes amazing when you add the vegan chili to it!
Honestly one of my favorite videos from you two, I love the realness!!
Recommend putting the cashew chez sauce on the burger!!

I really appreciate your vegan taste test videos!! They definitely help me decide which products to buy. Thank you and take care!
I totally got some of these from Trader Joe’s today!!! Can’t wait to try, we are baby vegans and I am so grateful for sources like y’all.✌🏼

I appreciate these videos because trader joe's is over an hour away and it is good to have recommendations when we do go!
next time try their soy creamy vanilla / cherry ice cream flavors! so good
The soy vanilla is amazing!
Ooh the black cherry and dark chocolate one?! My mom and I love that one! My mom isnt vegetarian by any means, but she prefers vegan ice cream more than regular ice cream
Those are both amazing!

So excited for this video! I'm going on shops about every two weeks and always stop at Trader Joes, I bet I'm going to have to add a few things to my list!
this was so fun! you guys should have put the fiesta cashew dip heated up on the burgers. it’s basically queso when you heat it up hahaha
The vegan tikka is so good. Can't wait to try their turkeyless burgers and other new products.
I'd also recommend their Thai gyozas and Japanese Fried Rice 👌
those pot stickers are fireeeee
Love your videos guys! Went vegan 6 months ago and your channel has really helped me. Keep it up!
I love the birds nests, I put them in a 400° oven with a little bit of oil for 15 minutes on each side to Chris, and then I dipped them in vegan sour cream.
I really like the way you do your vid's together. Your banter is just fun. Thanks for doing what you guys do. Vegan going on 3 years now.
23:30 - "it smells like it's gonna hurt my whole life" hahaha!

I totally prefer the cashew yogurt over the almond ! So interesting how all our taste buds are different 🤪
Love all of your videos. This one is excellent. Mochi pancakes Wow.
lol disappointed you guys didn't try the vegan banana bread or tempura cauliflower
Yes! We just found the tempura cauliflower and it is amazing! Jasmine might not want the sauce because that does have a little spice, but besides that, it's amazing!
I made the tempura cauliflower in the oven with Airfry broccoli. Won’t make again without Airfring the entire thing.
Haven’t seen that in thE TJ here!
The tempura califlower is the bomb
I love these food finds and reviews! Thanks so, much and keep the videos coming they’re , very helpful!
I enjoy this format of taste testing!
The vegan vanilla dessert tastes JUST like their almond vanilla yogurt, so bomb!!!!
This is my first video from you guys and I loved the vlog taste test style ⭐️
Mukbangs and taste test videos are the best 👍🏻
This is a GREAT video!!! I actually love the Japanese Fried Rice from TJs
I love this form of haul/taste test/vlog
I appreciate how honest you are about the spicy food! I’m the same way about spicy stuff.
I like the format of this video! Yes to part 2 please! :)

Drizzle a little agave on the mango spring rolls and it's soooo good!

Also mixed nuts with rosemary and dried olives are really excellent!
love the kale pesto

Thank you. Will give a few of those a try!
I agree about the vegan ranch. I love coconut, but it was so weird in the ranch.
The birds nest are delicious I always air fry them and they come out perfectly
Thanks for your review. I just happen to be going to Trader Joe’s tomorrow. You guys are so cute!🤗
OMG! I loved this video ! Great to see your first reaction ! Thanks for being honest!
Love the long videos :) you guys are awesome!
I was so surprised you two weren’t obsessed with the ranch, it’s my favorite and Ive never noticed a coconut flavor!!
That vegan mac is so good!!
Thanks you! There are more than a few things we have wanted to try and thanks to your review, we will!
My favorite vegan TJ's is the Japanese Fried Rice 👌😚 It comes out perfectly when made in the microwave!
Thank you.. I'm definitely going to try some of these.
Very good video. Really informative. Good job guys.
I cook the birds nest in the air fryer without spraying any oil. They is plenty already in the product. They come out crispy.
Lol, your face was SO funny ,when you thought the curry 🍛 was Too spicy 🔥🥵 lol 🤣💖💖💖
the frozen kale gnocchi and cauliflower gnocchi are vegan and so good!!
