August 8, 2024 by Marissa Matozzo
In an engaging TikTok video, a health expert spotlighted seven protein-rich frozen items from Trader Joe’s that can assist with weight loss.
Trent Harrison, a popular content creator boasting 799.1K followers on the platform, took viewers on a journey through Trader Joe’s frozen food aisle.
He handpicked certain products, elaborating on why they are excellent choices for those looking to shed some pounds. “These are the best frozen meals from Trader Joe’s to grab if you’re on a weight loss journey,” he explained.
“When you come to the frozen food section, I know you want to grab the orange chicken, but you have to be careful as this is super high in calories, watch yourself,” Harrison advised. Instead, he recommended grabbing “something like the Grilled Chimichurri Chicken Thigh Skewers.” The flavor, he added, is “off the charts with this and it has 56 grams of protein for 430 calories.”
Next, he said to try the “Mahi Mahi Burgers and double this up for 30 grams of protein for 280 calories.” You don’t even have to “make this in a burger, as you could dice it up over rice or make a salad,” Harrison suggested.
“Here’s a frozen breakfast for you, the Egg Frittata,” he said next in the clip. “Put this in the microwave. You could make an egg sandwich or just have it plain for 25 grams of protein,” he pointed out. The fitness coach added: “It’s easy for 270 calories. Trader Joe’s is making it easy.”
4. Argentinean Red Shrimp“The pre-seasoned garlic shrimp is a protein cheat code,” Harrison said regarding the frozen Argentinean Red Shrimp with ginger garlic butter and togarashi-style seasoning. “Use this to get 41 grams of protein for 310 calories.”
Harrison noted that he air-fries meatballs “every week,” opting for the turkey over the beef for less calories. “There are 100 calories for two meatballs and 12 grams of protein. Double it up, game-changer,” he said.
Harrison next pointed to the frozen Middle-Eastern Style Kebabs and noted that their flavor is “out of control.” He recommends putting them in an air fryer, “dicing them up” and putting them “over rice” for a high-protein, weight loss-friendly meal.
Finally, Harrison recommended that those on a weight loss journey should consider trying Trader Joe’s Chicken Breakfast Sausage Patties. “Put these on eggs, you can make an omelet with them, make a breakfast sandwich, pop them in the air fryer, etc.,” he said. These have 13 grams of protein and only 140 calories, Harrison concludes.
