Yes, the ultimate. This is is. Trader Joe’s is my happy place, so naturally I had to scour out the entire store to compile the ultimate Trader Joe’s Whole30 shopping list. If you’re embarking on a Whole30 challenge, or just some good, clean options as your household staples, this list is for you!
I am SO SORRY to those who don’t have a Trader Joe’s in their city. Sorry for this post that’s basically meaningless to you, and sorry you cannot experience all the wonder that Mr. TJ offers. Every time we move to a new city (which happens a lot with my husband’s job), the first (ok maybe like the 26th) thing I do is find the nearest Trader Joe’s. I NEED that place in my life. Affordable food, unique eats, great selection, amazingly friendly people, and TONS of Whole30 options that won’t break the bank.
You know you’re a true foodie if you’d rather spend an hour at Trader Joe’s checking out all the selection that go shoe shopping. Yes, this is my life. And I’m proud to be a food-obsessed weirdo like that.
And if this post has you raising your hallelujah hands, then you HAVE to get those hands on my FREE Whole30 bundle too!
