I guess my family is weird because we don’t like the cookie butter. But, the horseradish hummus is my absolute favorite!!!!!!!!

[@swtsadej9961]

Ya'll Cray Cray! love it.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

lol

[@a.r.m.yblink4622]

😊😊

[@Gary21H]

My life goal is to be as happy at Matt was when he tried the Cookie Butter 😄

[@mattyvarga]

Gary Harrower LOL it was funny to watch my reaction afterwards, like a kid in a candy store...

[@HealthNutNutrition]

this comment just made my day!! lol

[@BrendaRadder]

Chimichurri rice!! So good.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

oh yum I love chimichurri!

[@sarahrose4820]

I work at a health store in the kitchen. We use Cashew Butter in some of our smoothies. I LOVE cashew butter but I haven't tried TJs.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

oh yes I need to try that :)

[@stenaglia5753]

suggested new names for ya " Sparkly nut butters" Or "ginger bread and crushed biscuits " LOL

[@teesechick7692]

Gotta try Chantilly Cream Vanilla Bean Mini Sheet Cake & Mini peanut butter cups. It's an indulgent treat, not so much healthy but worth trying for your sweet fix!!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

oh sounds dangerous lol

[@owlflurry]

I can't leave trader joes without buying their frozen Mexican street corn, soooo so so good. also, black bean taquitos and chicken lime burger patties.

[@mattyvarga]

owlflurry Mexican street corn sounds amazing!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

well add it to our future TJ's list :)

[@jenniferleduc8969]

I like to use the cookie butter for baking cookies. You could swap it for peanut butter or almond butter in cookie recipes.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

that sounds amazing

[@jenniferleduc8969]

It is soooo good :)

[@elizabethkennington5987]

Boughten? That is not a word at all!!!

[@dorothydalba7495]

www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/is-boughten-a-word

[@Erinkenny0722]

Love Matt!!!!...he's funny and very personable!!!... made me laugh and thanks for the honest recommendations!

[@mattyvarga]

Christine Griffin thank you so much! my first time in o e of nikkys videos so it's great to see comments like this. I really appreciate the kind words

[@HealthNutNutrition]

[@acyw123]

Haha... for every item , Matt : "I like it!", while nik is like, "umm... ".

[@mattyvarga]

acyw123 haha so true, Nikole is harder to please lol 😁

[@HealthNutNutrition]

this is true lol

[@localgirlontheloop7556]

Y'all are so funny! I noticed the chile lime seasoning...try it on fresh fruit like melons, papaya. It's strangely so good! And next time, pick up their Caramelized Onion Cheese, it's incredible! Love the Nik and Matt videos!

[@mik_creates4016]

Also really good on pork and chicken!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

we didnt get to that one sadly. I still have yet to try it but thanks for the interesting suggestion ;) And thanks for watching the VLOGS xo

[@emilydrazen9136]

lol! i'm laughing at your reactions to the cowboy caviar! so funny! you guys are great =)

[@natalllz]

I had the worst stomach pains from the spicy Cowboy Salsa!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

see its not just me it is spicy!

[@airalyn.]

They have pumpkin cookie butter in the fall, and i love to mix a tiny bit of it into oatmeal.

[@CassieTranthesuperfitbabe]

Amber Shafer yes, or a snickerdoodle!

[@IM-vq2xs]

Amber Shafer mmmmm that sounds delicious. I eat Oatmeal as well and sometimes you can run out of ideas to keep oatmeal interesting

[@mattyvarga]

Amber Shafer wow pumpkin cookie butter... that sounds like heaven !

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I feel like cookie butter in anything would be amazing haha

[@susanbrazeal1275]

Hatch Chile Mac and cheese in the freezer section.

[@GlorifiedDreamer]

You're definitely right cookie butter is amazing with apples. I brought cookie butter and apples to class every day as my snack all semester soo good

[@HealthNutNutrition]

so good!!

[@robyn3083]

Matt needs to put a ring on it ;)

[@mattyvarga]

Robyn LOL thanks for putting me on the spot 😆

[@HealthNutNutrition]

haha

[@IM-vq2xs]

Robyn I absolutely agree.... 🤗🤗🤗

[@IM-vq2xs]

the hatch Salsa was interesting to see you guys try I live in New Mexico and New Mexico is known for their amazing green chile even though I'm not a spicy person I still like the taste of it.

[@mattyvarga]

I M I liked the hatch salsa it was a unique twist. how would you typically use it in new Mexico? was I right in saying it would be more as a topping

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I didnt find the TJ's one to be spicy

[@IM-vq2xs]

Matthew Varga in NM green chile is usually used in a lot of Hispanic food also burgers and it is known for the green chile to smother the food. a lot of people will just chop it and warm it up in garlic and salt but typically the most popular way they add flour to it and make it creamy.

[@rebecaprocaccia7841]

The eggplant spread is really good and their feta cheese and their trio hummus is great!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

you're the third person whos said that so well def have to try it!

[@Krissstinka89]

Guys, get the ORGANIC HUMMUS from TJ. It's sooo good and the ingredients are great too, no additives or other bad ingredients. Also INCA CORN, I don't know if every TJ has it though. Aaand the OLD AMSTERDAM cheese! :)))

[@HealthNutNutrition]

thanks for the suggestions :)

[@heathershobe3694]

You guys crack me up:) thanks for sharing! Stay you😘

[@FiiLuvFii]

You have to try the tomato-less corn salsa. ADDICTING STUFF

[@kathyjackson8563]

[@HealthNutNutrition]

babganoush is soo good (totally didnt spell that right) lol

[@1024specialkay]

haha i loved the cilantro jalapeno one so much!

[@saraburns5242]

If you haven't already you need to try the green dragon salsa!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

thanks for the suggestion!

[@kimmbaby]

Freeze dried fruits and the curry popcorn are my favorite👍🏻 try please ~

[@carriebest-neal6842]

The cookies that are in the cookie butter are sold at TJ. Put the cookie butter on one of them and it's even more like heaven!! The everything but the bagel is the best ever seasoning !!!!!

[@sauleskackovaite9321]

Spicy tortila chips!!! They are so good😍

[@acuti13]

We bring a cooler when we visit TJs too! Try the coffee ice cream, frozen truffle flatbread and snickerdoodles and if you go in the fall, try all the pumpkin flavoured items! 🍊🥑🍪

[@mattyvarga]

acuti13 frozen truffle flat bread sounds really cool. when do they normally release the pumpkin items ? I love pumpkin spice

[@acuti13]

I've gotten pumpkin items between mid-September to mid-October at the Vermont location. Try the pumpkin biscotti, pumpkin jo-jos, pumpkin pancake mix...and everything else pumpkin! 🍁

[@HealthNutNutrition]

yum sounds soo good!

[@Lexuspie]

The Meatless Breakfast Patties are so so Good!!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

thanks for the tip Liz!

[@emilym9002]

Turkey chili is my faveeeee I have 4 cans in my cubbord right now! Trader Joe's wine is phenomenal! Charles Shaw Chardonnay is good, the gypsy red wine is delicious, and the chianti is the best!!!

[@hunterblueeyesxo]

I'm from New Mexico and hatch green chill is normally extremely hot but it's delicious!

[@jordangunn5610]

Try the Dark Chocolate Honey Mints! They're like peppermint patties but with no sugar!!

[@healthyeatingalways]

I'm with you on the Jalapeño and Cilantro hummus, it was not a favorite of mine and I love those two ingredients.

[@AngieNic]

If you want a good cowboy caviar, I'm pretty sure it's in Costco, it's called mannino brothers cowboy caviar but it's not spicy and it's a good combo of different beans and corn and even vinegar. It's really good!

[@bethbilous4720]

what about the chile lime?

[@buttonsbebe]

The lemon-rosemary chicken. Omg!!! Good luck. It's so good they can't keep it in at my store. Btw I love 11 am drunkards. My kind of people. Lol.

[@Kristian179]

you guys should try their Winter Wassail,their triple ginger brew and their triple ginger snaps !

[@jalyassin]

What a cute couple ❤️ You know what they say: couples who eat organic together, stay together 😉

[@angelapolly1]

You and Matt are the cutest couple! Very complimentary!

[@BlargAndBlargna]

Do more of these videos!! I would also suggest for you to do a video on like healthy meals you can make with things from Trader Joes.

[@mattyvarga]

Nicole Swingle great idea! I think there is so much you can do with the tj items.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Maybe this could turn into a whole TJ's series haha

[@BlargAndBlargna]

That would be great! As a dietetics student, I'm always looking for new and healthy meals to make with reasonably priced items! :)

[@darcylyons4313]

I love Trader Joe's Jelly I prefer them to Smuckers and less money as well.

[@sarahrose4820]

I would like other taste tests but i would also like to see what meals or snacks you make out of the groceries. I never know what to do with some of their unique products.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

if you watch some of my grocery hauls I usually talk about what Im going to do with the ingredients ;)

[@mothernature2476]

I've been watching your channel and Im really enjoying it😍 my top 3 favorite Trader Joe pics would be 1. Turkish honey 2. egg plant garlic spread with sweet red peppers 3.red wine brand Pontificis. I can't even begin to pronounce it but it is delicious and only sold by Trader Joe's it is a little dry but it's a must try.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

ok you're the fourth person whos mentioned the eggplant hummus and now thats all I want in life lol thank you!

[@laurieb5660]

Now I want to go to Trader Joes. I like the eggplant spread.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I need to try that!

[@IM-vq2xs]

I love watching your videos and have tried soooooooo Many of your recipes. but this video was the best... both of you... great video. you guys should do more😆😆

[@HealthNutNutrition]

[@mik_creates4016]

[@HealthNutNutrition]

[@CassieTranthesuperfitbabe]

Hahahaha, a taste test for breakfast? Sounds like a great start! 💜

[@mattyvarga]

Cassie Autumn the wine was a nice touch for breakfast 😆

[@HealthNutNutrition]

[@Kranzinator28]

Cowboy caviar is better homemade

[@HealthNutNutrition]

[@DaisyICruz]

When you see your name up in the video but it’s not even you. 😂😂😂❤️ 6:56 and 8:11 I had to pause and rewind. I couldn’t stop laughing. I will definitely try her/my recommendation. 🙈😂

[@celiadagostino869]

[@mattyvarga]

Celia D'Agostino thank you. I'm not that cute but Nikky helps bump me up a few notches in the cute department lol

[@HealthNutNutrition]

[@ellisekim1226]

You should try the island salsa! It's so good on top of chicken. The Fig&Olive crisps are one of my all time favorites too! The popcorn with Herb and Spices is bomb as well! I love Trader Joe's - I could go on and on haha. I just subscribed to your channel :)

[@mattyvarga]

Eju Hu great suggestions. we are going to have to do a part 2 after all these new suggestions

[@HealthNutNutrition]

thanks for subbing! and for all the lovely suggestions :)

[@patty-cf7jj]

Seriously, next time you have to get the white bean dip that I recommended in your last Trader Joe's haul video! ! It's the one with a little pesto with pine nuts on top. I haven't been in awhile so maybe they don't sell it any longer.

[@hannahaustin771]

Omg you guys totally need to get cookie butter cookies from Trader Joe's. Seriously 10/10! I'm so addicted and they're so different from all the other cookies out there but be careful, they are deadly 😍

[@mattyvarga]

Hannah Austin what! they make cookies out of the cookie butter! that is awesome

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I saw them and had to hold myself back but now Im def getting them next time were there haha

[@katnissplaysvlogs2879]

You guys should do a walmart taste test

[@bethany1129]

Randomly had a dream last night that I met you guys in a mall food court... it was fun while it lasted 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@mattyvarga]

Audrey Patino lol really? what food court were we all at?

[@HealthNutNutrition]

haha thats awesome!

[@peluypechopeluypecho9730]

Hi Nikki could you share a nice hummus recipe ?

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Ive been wanting to for a while now so I will def make it happen!

[@chozart88]

Just discovered your taste test videos. Lmao at Canadian standards of spicy 😂 request: can you please do a shoutout for items that meet common diets? Like vegan, GF... thanks for these videos! 🤗

[@graceeetang2121]

Love this! At first I was like "why is the rating in acorns" lol but then I realized it's cause of the channel name😅

[@HealthNutNutrition]

haha yes its my new logo :)

[@allisonlavalley4986]

I love you guys but the way you say 'cilantro' kills me! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm also from Arizona and we know our Spanish words lol

[@KS-me3wn]

You guys are so cute :)

[@CatZoo28]

Can we start a petition to get Trader Joe's to Canada?!

[@mattyvarga]

Catherine Zhu great idea. I hear in Vancouver they have/had a store that went across the border and bought tjs stuff and then resold it there lol

[@HealthNutNutrition]

YES!!! Thats the best idea yet :D

[@jalyassin]

YES! Where do I sign? Oh wait but I live in Windsor Ontario and these nice healthy chains don't come here:( we don't even have Whole Foods

[@seemasukhrajh9777]

😘😘🤗😋😋

[@ciliawillia9454]

Lol the caviar is not 🌶 it's delicious 😋 5 😉

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I must be a baby then cause I found it spicy! haha

[@anamarsabi]

There's no Trader joe's in Spain:( Where I live there aren't vegetarian restaurants either but the other day I had the oportunity to go to one for the first time and today I've posted a video of it! I'd really appreciate if you checked it out:)

[@bethanybailey910]

Who is Chloe?! I'm so confused!

[@mattyvarga]

bethany pait lol Cloe is Nikkys little sister who helps film. thats who I keep looking at lol I realized after how much I looked at her and not the camera lol

[@HealthNutNutrition]

My sister aka assistant aka editor aka everything lol

[@jenmv3483]

trader joes has like 25 salsas and only one of them is organic. sad...

[@HealthNutNutrition]

they def have A LOT of options its crazy

[@chrissypiem5021]

Jen MV Yes and I love the peach salsa!

[@lizmontilla1985]

Honestly love your videos but finding them harder to watch as you never keep your mouth closed plus the smacking when you chew - it's just really gross.

[@dorothydalba7495]

Elizabeth Montilla You may be suffering from misophonia.

[@ashleyh2647]

that acting class intro was unnecessary and a waste of a few minutes lol
