Best Trader Joe’s Snacks 2023

Trader Joe’s is like the food equivalent of Target: it’s tough to walk out without a shopping cart full of snacks, whether you planned to buy them or not. Of course, there’s a lot of great things you can say about, for instance, Trader Joe’s cheese or Trader Joe’s wine, or even Trader Joe’s appetizers and Trader Joe’s breakfasts. But Trader Joe’s snacks reign supreme. They’re what makes it so tempting to dawdle in the aisles of Trader Joe’s, reading each package and spotting all the new snacks the grocery store has displayed that week.

Looking for a dip? TJ’s has it. Craving a crunch? No problem. In search of sweet or spicy? Sure thing. Whatever your snacking style, there’s a bite tailored to you that won’t drain your piggy bank.

Of course, what makes the list of the best Trader Joe’s snacks depends on who you ask, but we have a theory behind the genius. A familiar texture combined with an unexpected flavor or add-in, topped with some attention-grabbing packaging or name and voila: a TJ’s snack you can’t resist. One thing we can’t agree on, though, is whether classic Trader Joe’s snacks are what make us keeping going back for more (looking at you, Joe-Joes), or if it’s the novelty of always having new Trader Joe’s snacks to choose from.

Luckily, we don’t have to choose. We’ve rounded up a selection of snacks you’ll find on the shelves of TJ’s this year: some new, some classic, and all affordably delicious. Keep reading for all of the best Trader Joe’s snacks that your kitchen needs.
