One of the Best Trader Joe's Taste Tests Ever?! 😳

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

I think shredded potato pasta already exists as hash browns haha...but would probably be bomb with some marinara

[@cynthiajavier1530]

Lol Chris having sudden deja vu with the nacho dip 😂 “my life is crazy rn” we all know how that feels

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

[@betzy7560]

I was like...WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW???😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@presley6438]

I was cracking up here!!!! lol

[@kari-un5ro]

For the nacho dip, I highly recommend mixing it with salsa and heating it up! It’s so much better!!!

[@isagoldfield7393]

Great tip thanks 🌼🌿👍

[@amawahine]

I work at Trader Joe's and my favorite right now is the Cashew & Spinach Ravioli with the Kale Pesto mixed with the Dairy Free Boursin Cheese. The Boursin makes the pesto super creamy.

[@Wwetitanfan27]

oh wow that's a phenomenal idea

[@julianag1762]

Omg trying this Toni

[@graypaint]

y'all seriously doing God's work tasting all of these for us, please never stop 🥲 they're so fun and love seeing your reactions!! also that nacho cheese part was so chaotic 💀

[@kellyanne1139]

Chris going to take a bite of the fritter over and over again waiting for jasmine to finish 😂😂😂 love this video!

[@bananaz373]

If you like chocolate bars with almonds in them, the TJs pound plus bittersweet chocolate with almonds is vegan (but not advertised as vegan)! And such a good value!

[@isagoldfield7393]

Such a great price for the humongous size,,, I love it 😻

[@k8eeff]

Okay, the nacho dip (warmed up) but with soyrizo and salsa mixed in...sooooooo good.

[@moonlightequilibrium]

yummm... well I guess I'm going to trader Joe's today

[@erykasr1]

I literally did this earlier today! Plus refried beans and dice onion

[@kalakumar8513]

Trader Joe's has so many great foods, I love them. Plus their stores are clean, and the staff are so nice, and helpful. I've been wanting to try hearts of palm "pasta." Thanks for the review!

[@livelaughlove1855]

Thank you guys for your help. The heads - up is greatly appreciated. I really live you guys. You are a beautiful couple.

[@catherinecat7370]

I absolutely love your vlogs especially Trader Joe’s tastes. I always feel like a weird person just wandering the store especially when most of it isn’t vegan friendly.(except produced section) so I love watching your videos so I just know what to shop for lol. Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@isagoldfield7393]

Yes, thanks so much guys🍒🌼🌿

[@floholford4920]

Thank you for these videos!! I don't go to Trader Joe's often, but I always go after watching you and seeing all the good things they have.

[@isagoldfield7393]

Yay test test, you guys are the best. Always enjoy your test test‼️🌼🤩

[@raininghispresence4188]

I love the test test. And yall are so funny sometimes. When discussing the products.

[@kazthomas2553]

My first time watching you. I throughly enjoyed this!

[@allyncampbell9834]

You always deliver. Thank you. A worthwhile video, like everyone of your videos.

[@jillpenglase2493]

Have you tried the Soy Boy ravioli? It’s much cheaper than Kite Hill, and you should be able to find it at Wegman’s when you visit Chris’ family. It’s made in NY, but I’ve only seen it at Wegman’s (anywhere) or Whole Foods and health food stores in the mid Atlantic states.

[@MsOrangeFlame]

The oat dairy creamer is best/super bomb if you whip it with a frother and use it on top of iced coffee or a latte as like a sweet cream!!

[@thecyberthrift]

Omg the new lighting set up looks so nice! Good call, Chris

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Another great taste test video Jasmine & Chris. It's unfortunate that those products aren't available in the UK but still watched because I love 😍 your video's. Love 💞❤️ Jasmine & Chris.

[@createwithconfidence8094]

Now I need to find some of these items at TJs. The store is literally on my way home from work. No extra turns or stoplights to get through. The salad, samosas and chocolate are top on my list. Thanks for the video. Linda

[@latmcb9863]

Thanks for this. Everything looks so yummy. I got a lot of ideas for my next TJ shopping trip. I do wish that the camera was pulled back a little so that I could see what you are tasting in the bowl while you are tasting it.

[@MJ-xls]

Thank you for doing these videos! It's super helpful when I plan grocery trips! I just went to trader joe's yesterday but obviously missed some things that I need to go back and buy. That ravioli is super good. I think I might make a creamy vegan pasta sauce next time I have it and add spinach, onion and mushrooms.

[@reginalemoine5809]

If you haven’t yet, try the Silk Half and half. It has a teeny bit of natural sweetness from the oatmilk, but no added sugar. I hate sweet or flavored creamer, and the Silk is the perfect vegan creamer. I love these taste test videos.

[@Mama24loves]

The silk half anf half is the best. It's what finally got me off of dairy in my coffee.

[@isagoldfield7393]

Ohhh yah ♥️it toooo much💕🌿🌼🍓 It’s delicious 😋

[@as_creates]

Must try! I haven’t been able to find a vegan creamer I like. I still add a splash of half and h as half to my coffee.

[@mayamonier1380]

I have the same issue with silicone baking tins so while it takes a bit more time, I just prefer to use the metal tin on its own and make sure to butter or flour all the individual cups. Not only does it avoid the weird taste but it usually is more crispy :)

[@pattisteelman]

Between your videos and The Original Vegan TJ’s FB page, I always have a list of things to try at TJ’s. You both are so funny and I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@markedly1013]

You guys are a great team.

[@amberl8015]

I’ve been a slacker and haven’t been watching lately. Did you get a new camera?! Awesome job as always ☺️

[@lydiajo7010]

When I’m trying to say something is fully if spices by not “hot/spicy”, I like to say it smells or tastes “spiced.” I wonder if the TJ’s salad were stored upside down if it’d coat the kale better instead of trying to mix it in its tiny bowl? Thanks for another great video, Jasmin and Chris! I watch even tho I don’t have a TJ’s near me.

[@kindredanastasia]

it's stored that way so the greens don't wilt. You're supposed to shake it to distribute the salad dressing and toppings rather than trying to toss it in its bowl

[@MrzE3zy]

Love the vid! Definitely going to pick up a few these. Wish I seen this a couple of days ago.😂

[@Kathryn721]

Great video. Loved seeing you two in a goofy mood, so fun. Looks like TJ's knocked it out of the park this time -- yum!

[@margarett_b]

I am so jealous about the spinach and cashew ravioli! There are very few vegan options in Poland but none of them is a remake of this classic combo which I totally miss being plant-based. It was such a staple product in my fridge for all the days I could not be bothered to cook. The best comfort food!

[@samarjadeed6695]

You guys crack me up 😂 thanks for another great TJ review!

[@nikkiplantbased]

Yaaasss 👏🏽 Best day when you guys post ☺️ Making your vegan conchas recipe this upcoming weekend. Also, seriously I am so grateful for your KFC Tofu recipe. My non-vegan boyfriend and family devour it EVERY time. Much love 💕

[@kathleenzanders4061]

I always look forward to the taste test vlogs. I really would love to try the vegan chocolate!😀💞

[@jessylal3621]

Add some macadamia nut oil and cinnamon to the banana fritters before cooking. It makes them soooooo much better!!

[@belindaknowles7440]

Thanks guys for another great video😊

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Thank you for watching :)

[@Ecotrekbistro]

You guys crack me up! Love u both!

[@quinnablair4045]

I laughed at Chris so much. Bro you need a vacay lol. The deja vu and dropping the salad 🥗, so funny!

[@MsBeckly]

I’m obsessed w the nacho dip! It’s so great with soft pretzels and the corn dippers.

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Yessss, it's so good!! need to try it with pretzels!

[@seegriffrun]

I miss Trader Joe's SO MUCH! The closest one to me now is 3 hours away in Portland, Maine. Loved the video!! 😍

[@LulusMom1220]

You lived up to your name today…this was doubly❤️❤️ “sweet”. You two are adorable! I also love when you have your vegan/non vegan pals over for taste testing…they are pretty goofy as well.

[@debwinter2517]

You two are adorable! I’ve learned so much from your videos ♥️ Thank you!

[@LivE-ss1kt]

IDK if it is in the directions, but the vegan nacho dip you have you microwave for a short bit and it's AMAZING!

[@LivE-ss1kt]

: ) made the comment before watching the entirety

[@hopegold883]

The new lighting setup looks good. Warner.

[@lizzzarduh]

I agree I’m not a fan of sweetened creamer in coffee. I keep forgetting and trying them

[@BrookeYoder]

I have been just as obsessed with that nacho dip. I have never eaten it heated. Give this a try: a tortilla chip (I like the Black bean and quinoa chips) with that nacho dip and thin a little bit of kimchi on top. That was the combination that I never knew I needed. I also like the nacho dip just for plan raw cauliflower and broccoli. The buffalo dip goes nice with those snack factory Pretzel chips (not at TJ's)

[@lilican2419]

The raviolis are absolutely delicious!

[@dlaurino63]

LOVE the buffalo dip

[@kkTrinese]

The banana fritters with some oatly vanilla ice cream is delicious 🤤

[@isagoldfield7393]

Banana fritters are the best snacks or desserts. I stocked up before it’s gone, I hope it’s not seasonal🫠

[@valnaples]

Yah, that vegan ravioli is SO awesome....I love it with marinara personally.

[@givepeasachance_]

That’s so funny I love bbq sauce and I was so excited about that coffee version but thought it was so horrible that I had to throw it out. Great video!

[@nAs1bReEd]

💡 I looooove the new lighting!!!

[@rebelcolorist]

Great video! I just wish we had Trader Joe's here in Toronto... Those kohlrabi shreds would probably make a great sub for potato as a pancake or fritter... Recipe soon, maybe?? 😏😊

[@hopegold883]

I think the soapy taste is literally just soap. I notice I have to give silicone things extra rinsing time. (But I don’t have a dishwasher.)

[@theresamnsota3925]

I highly suggest the Jim Beam branded Maple Bourbon BBQ sauce. I can find it at Walmart.

[@angelascholfield1419]

Really enjoyed the video :) can't wait to visit trader joe's in the near future. love the drinking glasses in the beginning really nice

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Thanks so much!!

[@schweetsam920]

Curious about the creamer....whenever I have used non-dairy (any variation) milk/creamer in a hot coffee it seems to curdle and looks very unsettling. It looks like this happened to chris @16:46 but could just be the lighting/video?? Am I the only one that experiences this?

[@Wasabisaurus08]

it only happens to me when the coffee is acidic. I typically drink super dark roast non acidic coffee so it doesnt happen often but i get creamer curdle with gifted coffees

[@polley015761]

I tend to let my coffee cool a bit before adding the milk to prevent this

[@blackjag121]

The oat creamer is very sweet. I water it down with the Califia hazelnut creamer

[@mshoneyy]

Jasmine how do you do your nails? They are so beautiful! Do you do them yourself or get them done? Would love to know!

[@cindyo6298]

Lol, I think your potato pasta idea is great, much better than spaghetti squash or something.

[@sarahcortines7874]

Making the ravioli for dinner and I now know to go red sauce instead of pesto. So thank you

[@tabileigh]

Can you please do a best plant based options at Fred meyers? I live in Portland too and y'alls videos do help me out haha

[@isagoldfield7393]

Yes please….Chris & Jasmine

[@nathalyortega4744]

Hi Jasmine & Chris! Where do you find the vegan eggs? What brand do you use?

[@latanyad.mikell9821]

Sounds good and I hope y'all do another one like this again God Bless y'all

[@pungr]

No wonder it the creamer was so sweet, you poured a ton of it in there, lol!

[@desireelindsay7920]

Try soaking silicone in vinegar and rebel greens fruit and veggie cleaner.

[@GS-lq2is]

Did the muffins come with instructions on making them vegan?

[@kellygrothe]

the vegan nacho dip is so good

[@belindahugheslifestyle]

Sooo many great ideas in the video and below! Loved the cheese and chocolate products and the salad and samosa burrito. Thanks guys! ^5 Bright blessings, all.

[@kellyjaggars1047]

The nacho dip is so good heated up!!!

[@kellyjaggars1047]

Oh dang, you just heated it up lol

[@Dindonmasker]

I really enjoyed it. Some cool products in there.

[@sydneycarlson7688]

Often times soap can stick to silicone when there is oil residue on the product. Spraying with Lemon/lime juice or vinegar and washing throughly should help.

[@GD1DG]

Love these!!

[@entertainmentrealm]

the ravioli is very good & a bargain! I love the Kite Hill but it’s definitely expensive. I usually only buy it on sale.

[@xXPinkBunnyXx]

My girlfriend says she knows exactly what you’re talking about with the soapy flavour from silicone. She asked if you use the Costco brand dishwasher soap because that was the culprit for her.

[@loishein8005]

Can you tell us where you got the monbento silverware? Enjoy your channel…☺️

[@rosemaryarmstrong8264]

I am laughing my butt off at you guys with the dips🤣🤣🤣

[@shess1640]

I sure miss TJ’s soy creamer and eggplant hummus

[@anaharper]

I wish so badly that I had a Trader Joe's near my area! I would be there 24/7

[@isagoldfield7393]

😻😻😻

[@ssbell2011jcsu]

Try the banana fritters with the vegan whip cream that Trader Joe's sells. It is the bomb!

[@blackjag121]

Oat creamer Scallion pancakes Japanese fried rice Impossible ground Almond maple granola

[@mollyxclaire]

Those scallion pancakes are 🔥

[@Taylorswirled]

I add the bourbon vanilla extract from trader joes and cinnamon to the muffins and let the batter sit before baking, 11/10

[@Agetroh]

Trader Joe’s frozen veggie enchiladas are top tier

[@callingalldreamers]

I've been obsessed with that nacho sauce 🤣 I eat them with soft pretzels🤤

[@elegantdisarray]

The mentioning of the soy creamer broke my heart all over again 😭

[@kimberlyhooks2533]

Thank you 🙏 for sharing!!

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Thanks for watching!!

[@bellsandbabies]

I'm sorry but that coffee creamer curdling with horrific! LOL I can't.

[@bellsandbabies]

That lighting change was noticeably better! The video looked good up until then but it took it up to excellent!! :) All that TJs food looks good! I'll have to stop by there soon.

[@cindyp.9030]

Great video, time for another trip to Trader Joe's. 😃

[@b.a.mcclucky]

Rao's everything is divine. I hate that I like their products so much, because they are pricey. :(

[@annhershey8111]

Totally ... that vegan nacho cheese is so good !

[@carl13579]

I just bought their mochi pancake mix. Haven't tried it yet. It is accidentally vegan. It says to add eggs and butter but you can use substitutes.

[@rockygroin]

I put the samosa burrito in the air fryer and it is 🤌🏽

[@lindar6151]

Kite Hill is definitely better IMO but I ate the rest of the pasta as a leftover and it tasted so much better the next day (as pasta usually does).

[@suzann6367]

Love the the comment about “why aren’t people getting sued over that” 🤣

[@cinemaguerrilla]

you two Rule, vegan couple goals

[@tchang2846]

Knowing what happened to you guys later.... Makes me wonder if Chris was foreshadowing at the beginning of the video... Wonder if he has COVID! 😆 Hope you guys are feeling better.

[@Kahlofrida13]

😂😂🤣🤣I must mention the wine cute 🖤

[@VeggieVllc]

I thought that oat milk chocolate tasted floral? Didn’t like it or the almond one. I’m really picky about spending that amount of calories on a treat though. Has to be worth it 🤪

[@kindredanastasia]

shake salads with the lid on to distribute the salad dressing and toppings
