As someone that doesn’t have time to cook and has parents that don’t cook, I always go to Trader Joe’s for a meal. There are so much frozen food @ Trader Joe’s that are both delicious and cheap. There are two of my all time favorites.
Reduced Guilt Mac & Cheese
I’m always a big fan of Mac & Cheese, however, the calories that it contains sometimes scare me off. When I first saw this “Reduced Guilt Mac & Cheese”, I immediately picked it up. According to Trader Joe’s, they’ve used aged reduced fat Wisconsin Cheddar cheese, low fat milk and traditional elbow macaroni made with semolina flour. A serving (the whole box) is only 270 calories! This is perfect for my diet and whenever I’m in a rush to eat. It only takes 5 mins to prepare the food. The Mac n Cheese is also super cheesy (in a good way) and creamy. What’s more, the whole box is only selling for $1.99! I will always repurchase this product.
Mandarin Orange Chicken
I picked this up last week because I’ve heard so much good things about this product. As someone that has exposed to “real Chinese food”, I didn’t trust this product at first but decided to give it a try. Trader Joe really nailed this one! The chicken was crispy, tender, and flavorful. The sauce was great, but I wish they can reduce the portion of the sauce pocket. This is also very easy to make, just throw it in your oven for about 20 minutes!
A serving is 320 calories, which isn’t too bad. However, this product is very high in cholesterol, which could be a problem for some people. This whole bag is sold for $4.99 which is a fair price. I strongly recommend this.
