With all the new products heading to Trader Joe shelves, here is our guide for the most intriguing finds looking at the month ahead. And hopefully, this makes your next shopping experience a little less chaotic. Of the new products, these are the five things that we can’t wait to shop for from Trader Joe’s this month.

Cubes of Seedless Passion Fruit Purée

Personally, I love the flavor of passionfruit. What I don’t love about the exotic fruit is the price tag and the difficulty of finding good ones. That’s why these frozen cubes of passionfruit purée are exciting. They take out all of the fuss of passionfruit and allow you to blend in the delicious flavor simply and easily. These are really gonna make it easy to milk the rest of the summer spirit.

Paneer Indian Style Cheese

As someone who was raised vegetarian, we had a lot of alternative proteins in our house. And honestly, I wish paneer had been a bigger part of the alternative protein rotation in my home. Not only is paneer rich in protein, but it tastes amazing. After all, it is just cheese. And the settings in which it’s used are usually so densely packed with flavor that it makes this one of the most attractive products to come out out of Trader Joe’s.

Tater Bites with Cheese and Chives

The egg bites that Trader Joe’s sells are already such a big boon to on-the-go nutritionally dense breakfasts. But, one qualm that I do have with them is that it’s not an entirely balanced breakfast since they don’t have any carbohydrates. And, what better carbohydrate to satiate yourself with than a potato. These new Tater Bites are the perfect way to ease into the more autumnal flavors without going head over heels, too. They have potato, egg, cheese, and chives in the mix, and each package packs in 16g of protein. If you’re a fan of the Trader Joe’s egg bites already and are looking for a little more, these are going to be a good one to check out.

Dark Chocolate Bark with Pistachios, Dried Jalapeños & Sea Salt

The dark chocolate bark from Trader Joe’s is always one of my favorite things to see on shelves. And, this new flavor sounds extra delicious. The addition of pistachios in a way that doesn’t at all replicate a Dubai chocolate feel is so refreshing to me. And dried jalapeños make this a spicy and deeply interesting sweet treat with an exciting twist. Rounded off with some sea salt, this sounds like a super balanced and mature flavor profile that I’m really looking forward to grabbing this month.

Lemon Ricotta Pancake Mix

The Trader Joe’s pancake mixes are always among my favorite. The flavors are always spot on and very balanced. That’s why I’m so excited for this Lemon Ricotta Pancake Mix. The flavor itself is something that I make from scratch semi-frequently. But with the ease and inconvenience of having it in a box mix, it’s revolutionary. Here’s hoping that it actually tastes natural, but considering it’s made with lemon oil and lemon juice, I think this is gonna be a good execution. Plus, it means you don’t have to have ricotta on hand any time you wanna make super tender and luscious pancakes.
