Top 10 KETO Finds at Trader Joe's! Healthy Grocery Shopping

[@sunya2593]

I'm actually here for the video outside of TJ. Sometimes it's too distracting with in store explanations. Prob just me but i like this better

[@luci4087]

i don’t know why so many people are upset by her not being able to film inside of trader joes. it seems that they have a policy of no filming and were just enforcing it. don’t know about you guys, but the tjs in my area are always busy and crowded and would probably be more so if people were allowed to film inside of them. people can still make this type of content by purchasing the items and filming at home, outside, etc without bothering other people shopping.

[@sterlingforbes3872]

Agreed: I hate it when I see people filming inside stores, it's annoying. I love TJs and am there all the time, and I'm glad they have this policy.

[@a.h.2667]

Yeah, they're still a business and have to protect their brand and employees. Plus the idiots who like to film stupid pranks in stores make it harder for legit content creators.

I just started Keto today and this is just what I needed!!! Flavor and ready made snacks and small meals...

[@hummingbird8641]

Great video! Personally, I like this format better than filming products in the stores. I know it means you have to buy it and not just show it to us, but it's much more relaxed and your descriptions of possible uses seem more detailed.☺

[@katesamm235]

Also no motion sickness from watching people zooming around the store.

[@jocollins2789]

Why would trade joes throw you out when you are showing their products?

[@jeanne2022]

Thank you once again!! I am 66 years old and I have been on Keto for 5 1/2 years. I was already a size 6 when I began, so weight is not my goal. I started this new life style of Keto and fasting (19-20 hrs a day) because of the anti inflammatory benefits. All arthritic pain and even bone spurs are gone now. I loved the foods you shared in this video but you did not mention if they are clean as you usually do. If it’s not clean it’s most certainly inflammatory. I would appreciate it if you would mention it with each product. Thank you again!! ❤

[@jamiepage9046]

Was wondering also.. I paused the chicken salad and it had canola oil..

[@scruffy281]

Yes Jeanne, I was thinking the same thing. That pesto sauce sounded good but the label said it was made with safflower oil (not expeller pressed) so I had to pass. Thee chicken salad had Canola oil . Inflammatory oils are a big deal for some of us. Low carb is great but it is only a part of a healthy nutrition story.

[@Remon4779]

Not all Keto are the same. Please let the viewers know if this is Clear Keto or dirty keto.

[@maryboop0903]

She said these were all short cuts to a busy schedule. If she wanted it more clean she would make at home. But in a pinch you can eat these and still be low carb. Low carb is what she stressed. I love all her tips!

[@karenwilder7672]

Your tips and recommendations are so helpful! I'm just starting on this low carb journey and I am grateful for all the information you have 😊

[@sterlingforbes3872]

Love your videos, but also happy you got kicked out. I got to TJs 3x a week and the last thing I want to see is people filming in my favorite little grocery shop.

[@talllkid]

I bought everything you suggested and I am obsessed. Thank you, queen!

[@carilynjurgeson6178]

Trader Joe's lost out on you showing off the products in the store. You made the video great anyway. Nice options that I wasn't aware of. TFS

[@joytoyouandme4593]

Quick tip, I purchase misto misters to use for oils. Fill it up with avocado oil and one with balsamic vinegar, then just pump and spray. It cuts way down on spray bottles in the landfill. Also I love the paneer one of my favorites. This video is filled with some great suggestions.

[@runijones2625]

Thanks! Must try some of these soon. Side note, it made me laugh when you pronounced carnitas and tostadas the Spanish way but then said “burritos” totally like the rest of us do!! Haha

[@bellaboomz]

🤣🤣

[@lynnetruiz]

You have such great ideas! I’ve never given Trader Joe’s a chance but that’s gonna have to change. Thank you ❤ Edit: Those Marcona truffle almonds are the best nuts I have ever tried!!!

[@candacerushing6882]

It took me a long time to love TJ’s, but now I’d starve without them!

[@zahavailan3782]

Oh you’re so fun to watch thank you for all this😊

[@annakuman9898]

How about the other ingredients that isn’t healthy like the fillers or colors soybeans bad oils and so forth. It is really helpful to know the great choices we have out there for low carbs but how about the ingredients. I appreciate sharing your video with us and please continue this great job👍🌹

[@wizardcq]

Unfortunately, their chicken salad is made with canola oil. I used to love the palak paneer but it also is made with canola oil. High quality oils are a must for good health, and canola isn't one of them.

[@rosemariegross5555]

no canola oil in my diet either

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

Trader Joe's kicks out anyone filming - they would have some free advertising if they didn't but I get it. Privacy policy for shopping - cool video. Pork Belly is my favorite too.

[@LowCarbLove]

Yes they do have a policy! But I got to show my favs anyways 🥰

[@Fiawordweaver]

Thank you, I’m suffering from hashimotos flare up chronic fatigue. I need these easy grab foods because I’m too exhausted to cook much gratitude ❤🎉❤

[@QueenMxx]

I need more of these videos...I want to visit TJ for healthy snacks and dinners

[@Spacejockey426]

Trader Joe's is a fun place to shop, especially since they feature certain products every month (sometimes new). I can't believe that you didn't include in your shopping list their Cauliflower Slims. I shop at their Commack, New York store. Located to the immediate left of the cheese section, they come 4 to a package, are 4" in diameter, have 50 calories per slim, with 1 g net carbs. Unlike Trader Joe's Cauliflower pizza crust (which are a little larger, and usually right next to the Slims), they hold together very well. I use them as hamburger buns, taco wraps, etc, - essentially, anything for which you would use bread . . .

[@brendasewandsew3634]

Hi Mayra. First I want to sing your praises. I recently started following you and love all your videos! You have been such an inspiration to me. Thank you for all the great recipes and ideas for substitutions. I want to thank you for being so honest about enjoying food. You make good choices fun instead of a depriving drag. It’s very encouraging to know that you have done so well with your weight loss. You are beautiful and absolutely glow with good health. I’m your new biggest fan and I’m spreading the word about you to everyone I know! Now I have a couple of questions. I live alone now. I like to have a variety of food, so I keep a lot of things on hand. However, that means I sometimes have a problem with things going bad before I can eat them all. I’m a big fan of the freezer and I love leftovers. Today, I went to Trader Joe’s and got a lot of the things you told us about on this video. 1. Pork Belly. a. What is the best and the easiest way to cook it? b. I’m not going to eat it everyday, so should I cut it into pieces now and freeze it so I can take a piece out to have when I’m ready? 2. Carnitas. a. How long is it good for in the fridge? b Should I freeze little serving sizes and thaw out as I want some? As for me, I need to lose about 100 pounds. 😔 I lost 55 and kept it off for 15 years, but have put it all back on and then some. My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s 6 years ago. I retired at age 60 to stay home and take care of him. He loved to go out to eat and we lived like we were on vacation. I was able to do that for 5 years, but the he needed more care than I could give him. He’s being a nursing home now for the last year. I don’t eat a lot, but I have made bad choices for too long now and I have been in denial as I procrastinate changing my diet. I have diabetes in my family history and now I am getting pre diabetic blood sugar levels when I test myself. 😢 I watched my mother suffer and die early at just 54, from diabetes complications. She just never could discipline herself when it came to food choices. I can’t believe I have let this happen to me. I’m determined to turn it around and I’m hoping it’s not too late. I’m a Christian and I feel God giving me the strength to do this. Anyway, thanks for your uplifting, encouraging, enlightening, and entertaining videos. You are awesome. God bless you and just know you are a blessing to all of us following you.

[@mysweetbaboo22]

I'm glad you mentioned the Palak Paneer. I'm addicted to it and pick it up every time we go to Trader Joes. I just eat it like an entree, but it would be great paired with some cali rice.

[@runijones2625]

It’s meant to go over rice or with roti (an Indian flatbread similar to tortillas) … we generally don’t eat “entrees” by themselves. That being said, obviously you can eat it however you like. If you do pair it with rice, try Basmati. Just to keep it in the same family!

[@Wandertheworldwithme]

Good idea 💡 ❤

[@user-lb3kc2bi8z]

You turned us on to the jicima wraps! I'd seen them there, but was always leery until i warched you talk about them. They are SO perfect and easy, *perfect* for summer. ⛱️🌞👌

I like the product ideas and also like that TJs didn't want filming inside the store. That would be bothersome to us other customers. Showing the haul ppst purchase is the best idea.

I have not been able to find the Palak Paneer at my traders joes for over a year!! I am so envious. Literally the BEST.

[@lorimac0260]

Thank you for mentioning total carbs and not just net carbs for those of us insulin dependent diabetics who don’t go by net carbs! Also I used to wish I could find pre-cooked, unseasoned, non-breaded chicken that I can dip into wing dressings. Then I was like “Oh duh: Just chicken!” 😅 So I buy that and dip into buttermilk ranch or creamy jalapeño!

[@tcummins1395]

Oh! Super yummy light lunch. Take that sliced chicken, melt some cheddar jack on it with a bit of bacon. Add green pepper, onion, olives and ranch dressing. Put it on salad, wrap it in lettuce, or use a low carb tortilla. It's super yummy.

[@esme011]

Do most of my shopping at TJs so really like these keto focus hauls. I get the prepackaged almond packs as snacks that I just throw in my purse. Excited to see the chicken salad that has been missing from my store.

Because of digestive issues I only eat non-gmo or organic. I'd heard since 2019 the rumor that all TJs products with their name on it were non-gmo and so I was going ham in there making it my #1 grocery spot. But after a pancreatitis attack I started asking TJ staff about the non-gmo rumor and they told me its non-gmo or organic only if its labeled. So now I only get a few items in there that are actually labeled organic or non-gmo.
