Best Quick, Easy Meals at Trader Joe’s From Person Working Long Hours | Invesloan.com

This zesty salad includes arugula, shaved carrots, almonds, Parmesan cheese, and basil lemon dressing for a light, healthy meal.

Simply dump the ingredients into a bowl, and it’s ready to eat.

Trader Joe’s pad see ew is a vegan take on the popular rice noodle dish.

Stir-fried with carrots, broccoli, tofu, and soy sauce, it’s richly flavored and arguably tastes close to what I’d order from a Thai restaurant.

With 400 calories, 20 grams of protein, and 4 grams of fiber, Trader Joe’s chicken shawarma bowl is my power meal that keeps me full and energized for hours.

Although nothing truly beats the taste of chicken over rice from a halal truck, this is certainly a decent alternative.

I swear by Trader Joe’s broccoli slaw and kale salad. With shredded cabbage and carrots, it’s got a heap of micronutrients. Plus, there are healthy fats from the sunflower seeds and protein from the chicken.

Dried cranberries and a sweet and spicy dressing give the salad a nice tang, too.

Trader Joe’s delivers with its line of Indian-inspired microwaveable meals. One of my favorites is the lamb vindaloo.

The tender lamb chunks simmered in curry sauce are a treat to the palate; they’re savory and nicely spiced, but not spicy.

I also like to grab the spicy chicken vindaloo, which is served on a bed of turmeric rice.

Unlike its lamb counterpart, this one is no joke when it comes to spice. I think it lives up to its name with a very spicy, yet flavorful sauce. Still, it’s delicious.

Smothered in garlic and mushroom sauce, these green beans are a great accompaniment to most meals.

I like that they add to my daily serving of vegetables and have a fiber count substantial enough to curb my hunger.

I like to enjoy the brand’s spicy lentil wrap as a quick snack, but sometimes I’ll pair it with fruit or a salad to make a meal.

My only gripe is that there’s too much tortilla for the amount of filling, but the lentils and tahini sauce taste wonderful.

I like snacking on edamame for some extra protein, fiber, and nutrients.

Trader Joe’s frozen salted edamame has a nice flavor. I also drizzle olive oil and black pepper on it for an added kick.

Rich, smooth, and decadent, Trader Joe’s mini dark-chocolate peanut-butter cups are my favorite mood boosters for stressful moments.

Just one velvety morsel is enough to temporarily calm my nerves and satisfy my sweet tooth. Plus, the tiny size of each chocolate makes it easier for me to monitor my servings.
