Trader Joe's

I have never been to a Trader Joe's and was thinking about driving up to one of them next week or so. Do many of you fellow bandsters shop there? Do they have a wide variety of high protein foods?

I am a TJ junkie.   Protein?  The best selection of frozen sea food, cheeses, meat, you name it.   Go for it.  You will see.

LOVE IT!  I buy about 8 cartons of their yogurt a week LOL.  They have great greek yogurt and its much cheaper than fage or chobani.   Make sure you get the right one though -- its the one with very low sugar and 20-24g protein in a cup.   NOT the honey or vanilla ones...

Tons of other great stuff. I love the seafood sausage and the bbq chicken teriyaki. Tons of yummy cheeses and salsa and sauces and soups... my favorite place by far :)  Oh the turkey meatballs are great too!

As you know I do not have the band but I LOVE TJ's!!  I missed it so much when I moved from CA to MN and was thrilled when they finally brought the store to MN.  I have been trying to find time to get to the new one in Minnetonka.

O   M   G   !!!!
Bring a big 'ol cooler and go nuts!  Some of my faves are:

pork roast florentine
chipotle chicken skewers
mini arancini (so sue me, they're carby, but they're FABULOUS!)
Pre-cooked roasted sliced chicken
pre-cooked sliced grilled chicken in various flavors (teriyaki and rosemary/olive oil are faves)
buffalo burgers

They have an amazing selection of frozen seafood, too.  Have fun!  I live 20 minutes from the new Minnetonka store, and when it opened it immediately became part of my regular shopping cycle.

Wow, it all sounds so good!

I love Trader Joe's!  They have really good food at very reasonable prices.  I love their meatless meatballs...great source of protein.  They have a spagetti sauce that I love, too (can't remember the name).  Their frozen food section is grea****chout they have their cookies and chocolate on the shelves above the freezers.  Just keep your head down and you'll be ok :)

Have fun!

Trader Joe's is a huge favorite of mine. As everyone already said, meatballs, frozen seafood, greek yogurt, cheeses, sliced meats; you name it!

They also have wonderful frozen veggies that are much cheaper than other chain grocery stores! More healthy too1

You will definitely be able to find many band friendly items here! Let me know how your shopping goes!
