Teriyaki Chicken Bowl

If you love the Trader Joe’s frozen teriyaki chicken, you’ll love these frozen dinners . They’re made with the fan-favorite teriyaki chicken that’s been around for two decades, but these single-serve bowls take it up a notch. The dark meat chicken is flavored with the familiar tangy sauce, and is  served on a bed of rice with steamed bok choy, broccoli, and carrots . Bring one to work for a ready-made lunch, or reserve these for quick dinners on busy weeknights.

Caesar Broccoli Bake Kit

One thing you can always count on Trader Joe’s for is products that make your life easier. This broccoli bake kit is pretty much done for you. The broccoli florets are already washed and chopped, and Joe himself kindly included all the fixins—Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese , and crouton crumbs—for a flavorful side dish. Now you can eat your veggies and enjoy them too.

Hoisin Sauce

You can find this savory sauce in some Asian supermarkets or speciality stores, but now it’s also available at your local Trader Joe’s. This particular one is made in Thailand from fermented soybeans, and adds depth to stir fries, meat glazes, dipping sauces, and marinades. If you’ve never used it before, it’s sometimes compared to BBQ sauce because it has a slight sweetness and pairs well with meat.

Organic Turkey Bone Broth

The Trader Joe’s turkey bone broth is right on time for turkey season . The beloved supermarket also carries chicken broth, but the seasonal turkey version just feels right for fall. Use it as a base in soups, stews, and gravies, or to baste your turkey with. It’s super savory and high in protein, so some people even drink bone broth straight-up for the nutrients.

Caramelized Onion Goat's Milk Cheese

Trader Joe’s is home to an impressive cheese section . What’s more, the retailer launches or brings back fun seasonal cheeses every year, plus the occasional new release. This fall, get your hands on this savory-sweet goat’s milk cheese . The caramelized onion balances the tanginess of the goat cheese, making this a fun addition to holiday cheese boards. Spread it on crackers and breads, or use it as a schmear in wraps and sandwiches.

Sugar Bee Apples

Fall is apple season , so prepare for your Trader Joe’s to display a variety of seasonal apples, including this kind . Sugar Bee apples have the distinct firmness of honeycrisp apples, with even more sweetness. Some say these apples have notes of molasses, caramel, and—you guessed it—honey. You can thank Minnesota for cross pollinating your new favorite variety of apple.

Organic Non-Dairy Rice Beverage

You’ve probably heard of almond milk , soy milk, and the ever-popular oat milk , but did you know Trader Joe’s now carries rice milk ? You may not think there’s a need for another non-dairy milk with so many others to choose from, but rice milk is one of the more allergy-friendly options. This one is free from nuts, gluten, and lactose, and it’s made from finely milled and filtered rice for a super smooth consistency. It’s slightly sweet, so add a splash to your coffee or cereal.

Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake

The public has quickly caught on to the decadence of the Trader Joe’s mini sheet cakes. Thankfully, the chain releases fun seasonal flavors, like this pumpkin spice version . It’s every bit as tasty as the classic vanilla option, but with an autumnal twist. It’s also large enough to share with a few people, but you won’t want to.

Leave-in Conditioner

Don’t sleep on the face and body section at Trader Joe’s, which is filled with affordable finds that rival pricier salon favorites. Customers rave about the body butters and oils, but the leave-in conditioner is not to be missed. Argan oil and vitamin E moisturize dry strands, while pea protein adds volume and strength. It’s packaged in a convenient spray bottle for easy application, and has a pleasant scent that combines coastal, fruity, and floral notes.

Gluten Free Baguette

Trader Joe’s is a mecca for gluten-free goodies . Whether you have dietary restrictions or just want to try something new, the store’s selection of gluten-free breads, pastries, and snacks never disappoints. Enter the new gluten-free baguette . It has all of the versatility of a traditional baguette, without the gluten. Use it to make sandwiches, crostini, bruschette, and more.

Chile Lime Flavored Fried Pork Rinds

If there’s one thing Trader Joe’s is known for, it’s the superior snack selection . The chain is also known for creating unique flavor profiles like chile lime, so the launch of these chile lime pork rinds comes as no surprise. They’re crunchy to munch on, but since they’re light and airy, they’re the perfect high-volume snack. Just make sure you can handle the heat because they’re a bit fiery from the chile.

Bourbon Vanilla Beans

If you love to bake in the fall , you know Trader Joe’s read your mind with these genuine vanilla beans . Real vanilla beans at an affordable price is a nearly impossible ask, but now you can elevate your desserts and baked goods. Each package contains two vanilla beans that come directly from Madagascar. Just act fast—these are only available for a limited time.
