Trader Joe’s is a grocery store chain specializing in unique food and drinks inspired by flavors from around the world at a reasonable price. Each month the store rolls out new items and retires less popular ones, so the shopper rarely sees the same store configuration twice. Trader Joe’s unique snack selection makes for perfect road-trip or in-flight snacks to take with you while traveling.

 

Head to the snacks and sweets section for a variety of dried fruits and nuts. You’ll find standards like peanuts, almonds and freeze-dried apple slices and more unusual items like Thai lime and chili cashews, dried baby bananas and tamari-roasted almonds. Dried fruit bars and granolas bars are perfect to throw in your carry-on luggage. Grab a few packages of oatmeal in a cup to keep on hand for a quick breakfast. Satisfy your sweet tooth with items like shortbread truffles, strawberry Champagne truffles, dark chocolate-covered pomegranate seeds and mini chocolate peanut butter cups. Round out your haul with some corn chips, raisin rosemary crisps and soy and flaxseed tortilla chips.

 

Many of these items pack protein and carbohydrates, ensuring you’ll stay full until your next meal. Keep in mind: Trader Joe’s product availability changes monthly so be sure to stock up on your favorites before they’re gone!

 

Trader Joe’s currently operates in 41 states as well as Washington, D.C. Check the website for the location nearest you.
