If you haven’t yet caught the Trader Joe’s bug, it’s likely you will soon. Trader Joe’s is innovative, inexpensive, and entirely geared up to meet our seasonal cravings. As grocery shopping can be overwhelming and stressful, Health Fitness Revolution decided to make a list of ten essential healthy Trader Joe’s products for the summer!

Protein Patties ($4.49 for two) 

Vegetable substitutes are all the rage these days, so why not find a way to enjoy a classic burger without all of the unhealthy downsides? These protein patties are made with mainly pea protein, providing a similar texture to a typical beef patty. Each plant patty has 18 grams of protein, ensuring that you are full for hours. So if you are going to your next barbeque, or just want a new inexpensive vegan dinner idea, try these protein patties!

Jicama Wraps ($3.99) 

The perfect substitute for the base in your next taco, sandwich, or wrap night! If you are on the lookout for a low-calorie bread alternative, look no further. Each Jicama Wraps are only fifteen calories, three grams of carbs, and one gram of sugar.

Gluten Free Cheese pizza With Cauliflower Crust ($4.99)

If you haven’t already tried Trader Joe’s cauliflower pizza, it is time that you did! Each box holds three servings, each only 250 calories. The pizza is gluten-free, so everyone can enjoy it. Make sure to pick up the cauliflower pizza; it is a dietician’s favorite!

Cauliflower Thins ($6.99)

These days cauliflower is a substitute for almost everything, but we’re not complaining. These brand new cauliflower thins are a perfect swap when looking for a low-carb sandwich or bun base. Each thin is 100 calories, five grams of fat, nine grams of protein, and three grams of carbs. Don’t pass on these!

Everything But The Bagel Dip ($3.49) 

By now you have surely seen the Trader Joe’s Everything But The Bagel trend, as the seasoning blend truly was all the buzz. Trader Joes has released Everything But The Bagel Smoked Salmon and a nut mix, but now we want to talk about the yogurt dip! Not only is this product delicious and perfect for a social gathering, but you can also enjoy it without worrying about overindulging. Each serving is only sixty calories, two grams of carbs, zero added sugars, and one gram of protein. 

Watermelon Fruit Spread ($2.69)

During the summer we all crave foods that are light and refreshing. Trader Joe’s Organic Watermelon Fruit Spread is a sweet and energizing spread to add to your next picnic or gathering. Each serving is only thirty calories, eight grams of carbs, eight grams of sugar, and zero total fat. Add this spread to your next toast or sweet treat!

Gone Bananas! ($2.00)

Looking for a refreshing dessert, but do not want to risk overindulging yourself? Try Trader Joe’s chocolate-covered frozen banana slices! Bananas have many health benefits, and this treat is only 100 calories for four bites, 3.5 grams of total fat, and twelve grams of sugar. This is the perfect summertime snack if you want to treat yourself, just a little bit. 

Ube Ice Cream ($3.00)

Ice cream made from purple yams? Ube seems to be the upcoming vegetable, so why not make an ice cream flavor with it! The product is described as “sweet & nutty, with hints of coconut; some liken it to a cross between vanilla and pistachio.” With only 200 calories per serving, Ube Ice Cream is a great refreshing dessert for the summer months!

Sparkling Watermelon Juice ($3.99) 

Here at Health Fitness Revolution, we are all about staying hydrated. If you are looking for a new, reviving drink to spark up your summer, look no further!
