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. 🤤
@@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.
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;)
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😂
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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
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!
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.
The mango sticky rice rolls, orange chickenless morsels, and the vegan mochi are the besssssst TJ products. And the umami and chickenless seasonings. My husband and I literally drive 2 hours every few months to stock up on our TJ favorites.
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.
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!
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.
Guys, I absolutely love your channel! I need to stress that Palm oil is not cruelty free nor ethically Vegan. There is also no such thing as "sustainable" palm oil either, it's just more greenwashing. The industry is very destructive to many species and habitats. Together we CAN make a difference by choosing to buy ethical products. Every meal presents us with an opportunity to put an end to an industry that is clearly broken. Food shouldn't cost lives or suffering. Vote for a better planet by voting with your wallet/purse.🙏🌱🐾🕊🌏
Totally agree! I was looking for any comments on this. Most definitely palm oil is not vegan. So many items considered “vegan” contain it. Thank you for bringing this up!
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 :))
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
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 💚
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!!!!!
Oh man! This is one of the main reasons I miss USA! All these amazing snacks we dont have here in Australia! However, I am def going to have to be rolled out of my house with all the amazing vegan snacks ive been eating lately omg
That vegan mac is BOMB. I've only ever eaten it cold. I was actually thrown off guard for a second to see them throw it in the pan, then remembered that I am the weird one.
Their Penang curry is way better than the pad Thai and their veggie gyozas are a staple for me. No recommendations on the gyozas? I’m surprised. Ps your babies are so cuuuuuuute. Congrats on the new addition.
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!
Jasmine: Try sucking on a lime wedge or swishing lime juice when you eat something too spicy. The acid cuts the oil in the peppers. Learned this at the hot sauce festival! -Chelsea
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

Yes same! The Japanese fried rice is sooo much better than the other Trader Joe's one. (and the birds nests are amazing too)
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

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.
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.
I love the honesty of "we're lazy asses." 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
My boyfriend is bugging me to ask what shorts Chris is wearing during the first part of the video because he really liked them 😭
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.
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.
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!
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
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!
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??

I appreciate the clip of the pups in there 😍 Love this video!

Honestly one of my favorite videos from you two, I love the realness!!
Recommend putting the cashew chez sauce on the burger!!

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.✌🏼
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
Are you talking about the Aioli Garlic Mustard Sauce? Last I checked that has eggs in it so it's not vegan :(

Trader Joe’s is kinda church to me. I love it so much. Great video (as always).
I really appreciate your vegan taste test videos!! They definitely help me decide which products to buy. Thank you and take care!
I totally prefer the cashew yogurt over the almond ! So interesting how all our taste buds are different 🤪
love the kale pesto
When Chris was like “I’ll just leave the frame” I went🥺🥺
Omg I loved this!! You should totally do a part 2 and try some of their other vegan products
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
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.
Love your videos guys! Went vegan 6 months ago and your channel has really helped me. Keep it up!
23:30 - "it smells like it's gonna hurt my whole life" hahaha!
I enjoy this format of taste testing!
Mukbangs and taste test videos are the best 👍🏻
Love the style of this video so much!

Oh yes we have tried them! But that’s good to know I followed it and it was mushy lmao
Sweet Simple Vegan omg that’s what everyone says ! Yea they’re way better a little crisp 😄
@@Sweetsimplevegan yeah air frying it is definitely the best way to go. The kale gnocchi is also really good!
I appreciate these videos because trader joe's is over an hour away and it is good to have recommendations when we do go!

Drizzle a little agave on the mango spring rolls and it's soooo good!
the vegan mac is amazing with salt+pepper, paprika and hot sauce all stirred up
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
The vegan vanilla dessert tastes JUST like their almond vanilla yogurt, so bomb!!!!

Looovvveeddd this style of video. And now I have so many ideas for the next time I venture to TJs!
Lol, your face was SO funny ,when you thought the curry 🍛 was Too spicy 🔥🥵 lol 🤣💖💖💖
Also mixed nuts with rosemary and dried olives are really excellent!
I agree about the vegan ranch. I love coconut, but it was so weird in the ranch.
I was wondering what you used as a substitute for the egg in the mochi pancakes?
Thank you. Will give a few of those a try!
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

That vegan mac is so good!!
Awww she was happy about the rice ☺️

The birds nest are delicious I always air fry them and they come out perfectly
Put the red pepper sauce in pasta. You can mix it in the pasta sauce. It's amazing!!
The tikka masala is AMAZING
Omg I just went to Trader Joe’s yesterday. Oh well definitely will get some of these next time!
The stir fry is sooooo good! Such a quick and easy dinner.
Oh man! This is one of the main reasons I miss USA! All these amazing snacks we dont have here in Australia! However, I am def going to have to be rolled out of my house with all the amazing vegan snacks ive been eating lately omg
Love the long videos :) you guys are awesome!
Love this video idea! You guys are the best!

Their Penang curry is way better than the pad Thai and their veggie gyozas are a staple for me. No recommendations on the gyozas? I’m surprised. Ps your babies are so cuuuuuuute. Congrats on the new addition.
We couldn’t get everything recommended, we would have bought half the store haha so I will def try that next time!!
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!
That Ube mix is the best! I made waffles from it... sooo good!
the frozen kale gnocchi and cauliflower gnocchi are vegan and so good!!
