Although summer may not technically start until later in June, we think it’s safe to say that, for all intents and purposes, summer is in full swing. That means it’s time to hit the pool, get the grill going, and stock up on some brand-new seasonal treats at Trader Joe’s. There are tons of delicious items to find on shelves this June, from creamy cheeses to refreshing, floral beverages. Find a nine of our top picks below.
1. Organic Chocolate Chip Baked Whole Grain Bar
When you're craving a sweet but moderately healthy on-to-go snack, reach for these Organic Chocolate Chip Whole Grain Bars. These delicious bars incorporate oats, fig paste, and chocolate chips for a wholesome, tasty experience. They're easy to throw into lunch boxes, gym bags, or just your cup colder on the way to work. Plus, they're gluten free! Six-packs are available at Trader Joe's for $4.69.
2. Burrata Filling
Burrata had a major moment last summer, and if this new Trader Joe's item is any indication, it's going to make a comeback. What is burrata filling, exactly? We're glad you asked! Also known as stracciatella, this is an 8-ounce tub full of the creamy cheese you'll find inside of burrata. Put it on pizza, spread it on toast, dip veggies in it, or, hey, eat it on its own. We won't judge.
3. Peaches + Cream Cream Cheese Spread
Can't get enough cheese? We feel you. This Peaches + Cream Cream Cheese Spread screams "summer" just as much as that burrata filling does. Of course, you can spread it directly onto a bagel for a delicious breakfast, but it also offers so many other possibilities. Peach cheesecake! Peach cream cheese frosting! Peach cream cheese everything! At just $2.79, we think we'll buy two tubs.
4. Strawberry Yogurt Flavored Almonds
And if you still need something to please that sweet tooth, these Strawberry Yogurt Flavored Almonds may be just what you need. (Plus, since almonds are healthy, you can convince yourself you're sticking to your summer diet). These nuts are lightly coated in a delicious strawberry yogurt-flavored coating and dusted with strawberry powder. They're perfect for the strawberry lovers among us.
5. Caramelized Onion + Bell Pepper Turkey Patties
Time to get grilling! If you're watching your red meat intake (or just love a good turkey burger), you'll definitely want to add these Caramelized Onion + Bell Pepper Turkey Patties to your cart on your next Trader Joe's trip. They're perfectly pre-seasoned and grill-ready. They're ultra-juicy, 100% delicious, and ready to be topped with your favorite cheese, sauces, and veggies. Our mouths are watering!
6. Seafood Boil
Attention, seafood lovers! Trader Joe's is making it so easy to prepare the seafood boil of your dreams with this ready-to-make meal complete with shrimp, tilapia, clams, andouille sausage, corn, and mini potatoes. Of course, it's brought together with a spicy garlic butter sauce—can you say *chef's kiss*?! At just $10, we can't think of a single reason not to throw this into your cart. Except maybe a seafood aisle.
7. Shrimp Bao
Let's keep the seafood coming! If you're craving Vietnamese, Trader Joe's has you covered with some seriously delicious bite-sized bao. These clamshell-style bao buns are filled with shrimp patty, and they come with a sweet and sticky lemongrass, lime, and chili sauce for dipping. What more could you want?! We'll definitely be stopping by the frozen section to grab these on our next TJ's trip.
8. Japanese Souffle Cheesecakes
Cheesecake, anyone? If you love your cheesecake as fluffy as possible, these Japanese Soufflé Cheesecakes are exactly what you need. For $3.29, you can pick up a pack of two cheesecakes, which are made with sweetened condensed milk and decadent cream cheese. They're ultra-airy and unbelievably delicious.
9. Blueberry Elderflower Beverage
We're a sucker for everything elderflower, which is why we're so excited about this refreshing new beverage that just hit Trader Joe's shelves. It combines blueberry purée, a bit of sugar, and floral elderflower flavor for a perfect taste that just screams "summer." We have a feeling we'll be sipping on this for months to come. Blueberry elderflower cocktail on the porch, anyone?
