I have never been really close enough to a whole foods to know what I like from there.. so this list is from Trader Joes and these are the must haves Ive been getting every time I do make it to a Trader Joes over the years (the closest one is a 1/2 hr from me, so I don't go there often) I buy things that are quick & easy to make for lunches or dinners for 1 person, so most of my TJs purchases are frozen foods.
- their brand of Salsa (I get the mild & hot and mix them together)
- their brand of Gazpacho soup
- Biryani Rice (now its a frozen meal with veggie dumplings, still good)
- Flax seed Tortilla chips, the 3 different veggie flavors
- Nuts about chocolate & raspberries trail mix!
- Frozen Orange chicken
- Frozen garlic french fries
- Garlic Naan bread
- Frozen Sheppards Pie (this is absolutely delicious)
- Frozen butter chicken meal
- Frozen mojito salmon
- Frozen bagged carrots with ginger glaze (I haven't seen this in awhile, but its awesome)
- frozen asparagus risotto
- Almond butter
- Frozen bibimbap bowls
- their brand of Organic Chicken broth & vegetable broth
I don't bother buying meats, much dairy, breads, fruits, veggies, etc... the one near me doesn't have a good looking veggie/fruit area, they always look old, dried or shriveled. I do get raspberries there bc they keep those refrigerated and the prices are always really good on them for some reason.
I think I gave you enough things to buy! LOL
