We all have our go-to items that we stock up on every time we stop at Trader Joe’s. For example, I’ll never leave without Chicken Fried Rice, Thai Green Curry, and a few cans of chickpeas for good measure. But in addition to the constants on our grocery list, it’s also always good to try something new—and there’s never a shortage of brand-new goodies to find on the TJ’s shelves.
This month is no exception! Below, we’re rounding up a few of the Trader Joe’s items we’re most looking forward to trying, from savory snacks to frozen desserts that will help us celebrate the warmer weather.
1. Savory Squares
Craving something crunchy? Reach for these delicious new gluten-free crackers, which are receiving rave reviews on Reddit. "I bought 3 boxes, THANK GOD, because I’m going to eat this first box in one sitting. Tastes like a thicker, more savory cheez-it 'extra toasty' but on the drier side - tasty on its own but due to dryness, it’s crazy elevated with a spread," one user praised. We're definitely adding these cheesy snacks to our cart!
2. Cinnamon Twist Danish
One of the newest additions to the bakery section is a Cinnamon Twist Danish—which is actually imported straight from Denmark! A delicious, chewy dough filled with "a creamy, cinnamon-spiced, custard-like filling" and "twisted into a round spiral before being baked to a glorious golden brown," says the TJ's website. They also recommend heating it up before eating or enjoying with fresh coffee or tea—you don't have to tell us twice!
3. Freeze Dried Raspberries
If you love taking advantage of the dried fruits and nuts at Trader Joes, these Freeze Dried Raspberries will be your newest obsession. As the TJ's website notes, they're perfect for snacking, baking, and adding to smoothies, yogurt, and oatmeal. At $3.99 per bag, we'll certainly be stocking up on our next Trader Joe's trip.
4. Tropical Green Tea Instant Boba Kit
If you're a fan of the beloved Brown Sugar Boba Kit, you'll want to give this green tea variety a try. Combining passionfruit, mango, green tea, and, of course, those tasty tapioca pearls, this handy kit has everything you need to whip up a delicious boba beverages at home. You'll be able to grab it for $4.99 this May.

5. Lemon Flower Cookies
We love a good treat from the Trader Joe's bakery section, and these Lemon Flower cookies are no exception. Perfect for embracing the flavors of summer, they feature delicious lemon jam sandwich between lemon shortbread cookies. As if you needed any more convincing, they've received Reddit's stamp of approval, as one user raves: "I ate the entire box in less than 24 hours. They taste......SO GOOD!"
6. Bake at Home Organic Garlic Bread
Pasta night? Surely you'll want some bread to go with that. And if you love garlic bread as much as we do, we recommend picking up this take-and-bake option from Trader Joe's. Not only does it make a perfect side for dipping, but it also makes an ideal bread for sandwiches. Add a loaf to your cart for $3.99 this month.

7. Super Strawberry Sorbet
We're always looking forward to all the delectable ice cream flavors TJ's has to offer—and now there's a fruity sorbet that dairy-free shoppers can look forward to. Keep an eye out for this Super Strawberry Sorbet, which is complete with real strawberry pieces. Sounds like the perfect way to ring in summer!
8. Milk Chocolate Covered Honeycomb Candy
This unique item is brand new to the Trader Joe's shelves: Milk Chocolate Covered Honeycomb Candy. Expertly crafted, the Trader Joe's explains exactly how it's done: "a thick syrup of sugar and honey is first boiled, and then combined with baking soda when it’s removed from heat. The mixture is poured into trays, and as it cools, the baking soda dissolves, leaving behind air pockets (reminiscent of a Honeycomb!) that create the Candy’s signature appearance and delightful, airy-yet-crispy texture." Doesn't that sound delicious?
9. Grilled Chili Lime Chicken Breast
When you're looking for a healthy lean protein option, chicken breast is a choice that's both great for you and delicious. And as far as flavor goes, you can't go wrong with delicious chili lime for summer. Whether you're filling your tacos and burritos with it, adding it to a salad, or anything else your heart desires, this Grilled Chili Lime Chili Chicken Breast should definitely be on your grocery list.
10. Belgian Truffle Ballotin Box
Good news for chocoholics! These delectable Belgian Truffles are available at TJ's for $3.99. Each boxes contains a range of flavors: Cappuccino Milk Chocolate Cream, Cocoa Bean Lait, Caracol Milk Chocolate, Caramel Eclipse, White Hazelnut Flower, Corazon Negra, Crunchy Caracol Dark Chocolate and Bloc Gianduja. Why not grab a box—or two, or three?
11. Vanilla Cookie Thins
As if there aren't already enough treats on this list to please your sweet tooth, we'll leave you with one more cookie. If you ask us, there's nothing not to love about some good old vanilla cookies, and that's exactly what these are. With scalloped edges and flakes of vanilla bean, they're almost too pretty to eat. But of course, that won't stop us. Try dipping them in ice cream for a seriously delicious dessert.
