How can you not love tasty spreads, soup dumplings, boba tea, and seasonal falafel? Just so we’re on the same page, that was a rhetorical question.
Stocked with plant-based goods from the freezer section and dairy cooler to the snack aisle and prepared food area, Trader Joe’s is an herbivore’s best friend! So next time you’re out stocking up on your grocery store go-tos—for us it’s the vegan pesto, Greek chickpeas, and beefless bulgogi—don’t skimp on these 12 new vegan items at Trader Joe’s!
Yuzu Miso Topping & Spread
This limited-edition Trader Joe’s find combines yuzu citrus and umami-rich miso, two iconically Japanese ingredients, into a tasty sauce that pairs well with just about everything. Try adding the Yuzu Miso Topping & Spread to your grain bowls, tofu sandwiches, and beyond!
Steamed Vegetable Soup Dumplings
Get ready for this one, friends! Trader Joe’s recently added Steamed Vegetable Soup Dumplings to the freezer section! After the store’s non-vegan soup dumplings became instant sensations, the team knew a vegan version would be a hit! These veggie dumplings are loaded with jackfruit and a variety of vegetables.
Green Olive Flats Italian Lingue Crackers
Olive lover? We sure are! And these Green Olive Flats Italian Lingue Crackers are a Trader Joe’s must-buy. We love using these vegan crackers in our plant-based charcuterie boards loaded with artisanal vegan cheeses, dried fruit, raw veggies, nut blends, and of course, extra olives for good measure.
