I used to work at Trader Joe's and learned about the best underrated products. Some of my favorite items are dolmas, hashbrowns, and overnight oats.
After working at Trader Joe's for three years, I still find myself returning for these eight underrated items. As someone who works best with quick, protein-packed meals, I consistently add Trader Joe's chicken nuggets to my cart. I've experimented with overnight oats from various brands, but Trader Joe's is the only one that consistently delivers the perfect texture and flavor.
The Trader Joe's frozen hashbrowns have become a cult favorite, and I now keep a box in my freezer to make crispy air fryer toast with avocado and a fried egg. I also keep Norwegian sourdough rye chips on hand to pair with my tuna salad, as they provide the perfect crunch and saltiness without breaking easily. Trader Joe's dolmas have become a staple in my pantry, as they are packed in soybean oil and make for a convenient snack or side dish with hummus or tzatziki.
When in season, I can't resist picking up Trader Joe's horchata-inspired ice cream, which is creamy, cinnamon-y, and has the right balance of cookie pieces. Trader Joe's refrigerated chicken nuggets are a lifesaver for work-from-home lunches, as they crisp up quickly in the air fryer and provide a satisfying, protein-rich meal or snack.
Lastly, I always keep a few packs of Trader Joe's squiggly knife-cut-style noodles on hand, as they offer a delicious alternative to instant ramen with a chewy, bouncy texture and a spicy, garlicky, nutty sauce.
