TRADER JOE'S VEGAN GROCERY HAUL | vegan grocery haul

[@FeastingonFruit]

This is lovely timing since I just moved and now live near a TJs woo! (although not nearly as pretty inside as that one!) Otherwise I would just been mega jealous of you and your snicker-sandwiches😋😋

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Haha thank you, Natalie! Yay for living near a Trader Joe's :) I am actually moving this week and moving away from two that are near me so that's a bummer but I am moving next a Whole Foods so I feel like it balances everything out. I can totally see you coming up with a remake of the snickerdoodle nice cream sandwich recipe!

[@FeastingonFruit]

RainbowPlantLife Oh fun, good luck with the move!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

thanks so much, Natalie!

[@accidentally822]

5:30 😂 nice belch!

[@gracewhite6097]

I adore your sense of humor.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww hehe thank you, Grace!

[@jaymezayac9296]

I am OBSESSED with your channel. You make such good food and I bought a ton of groceries to make your recipes! I’ll be eagerly waiting for another video!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww that's so nice to hear you love my channel. Thank you so much!

[@siddhits]

Nisha, we'd like to see you stuff your face with vegan dessert, please. Trader Joe's needs to sponsor this video, seriously.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hey Siddhit, thanks so much for watching! Haha maybe we can all meet up and collectively stuff our faces with Trader Joe's dessert :)

[@reshmadesai1508]

I really loved your sense of humor in this video! 😊 I also like how you went threw each item and introduced me to a few ones I'll definitely look for next time at TJs. I can't wait to try the desert recipe... and oh yea the salad too!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

You are so sweet, and I'm so happy you enjoyed the video :) The dessert is sooo good haha

[@HeronCoyote1234]

My fave TJ item is the Japanese Style Fried Rice. At any given time, I have several bags in my freezer. TJ’s has lists of their vegan foods that any employee will be happy to get for you. I never thought sauerkraut on salad would be good ... till I tried it. Yum!!!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Thanks for the tips, I will have to try that out! The employees there are always so helpful! And yes I put sauerkraut on every salad I eat! Great source of probiotics and so yummy!

[@ljm9092]

I have been eating a plant based diet for one month now and love it. I just quit buying meat and dairy and I had no problems of wanting anything. I Loved what you shred and now I have more new menu items to use. thank you for sharing your videos with us. :)

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hey Linda! Thanks for sharing your progress - that's wonderful to hear. I'm glad you found this video useful!

[@A14BYT]

'I love this stuff because I'm vegan and vegans love kale' lol 😂 such a true statement! X

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Haha it's so true! I love chocolate and kale equally lol

[@ChillWithJamie]

So impressed with the easy meals you made at the end of the video! They look so gourmet as if you spent hours in the kitchen! 😍 So creative!! 💗

[@RainbowPlantLife]

What a sweet compliment, Jamie! I love making gourmet meals but sometimes there's no time for that so this is the next best thing :)

[@Nicole-lm3nk]

I love your videos :) you are so graceful and I love your subtle little jokes! Do you think you could make a video on some of your staple foods; ones you try to eat regularly due to their nutritional value or even just taste?

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hey Nicole! Thank you so much, you are so kind and totally made my day :) I definitely will put that on my list of videos to make, great idea!

[@vivianrios6007]

Love your recipes and I prep list of them. 👏🏼👍🙏🏼

[@susanchapman5591]

Everything you make is truly amazing, so much so, I am ready to move in order to have a kitchen with more storage and counter space. I am actively looking as I write! Thank you for your inspiration!

[@margueritewilhite5900]

I really liked how you showed what to do with your TJs haul. Very nice!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi Marguerite! I am happy you liked it :) Thanks for stopping by!

[@vkw3196]

Ha I have to subscribe now because you are hilarious when you said: I am chocolate. Too funny!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Haha I‘m glad you enjoyed that part! Thanks for being here!

[@LPS102]

you have such a nice voice ugh yes it's like asmr

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww haha thank you! That's so funny because I was just reading about asmr last week!

[@HeronCoyote1234]

My favorite TJ foods now (five years later) are the dolmas and canned hearts of palm.

[@charlenenelson3277]

So happy I found your videos. Exactly what I need!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hey Charlene, thank you so much! I'm glad it's helpful for you :)

[@flowingwithfire]

I love your channel so much! Great videos & helpful content! 😊 Trader Joe’s is seriously my favorite grocery store of all time. All non GMO products & organic at a very reasonable price! Thanks for sharing your favorites. I saw a few things that I DEFINITELY want to try! Cheers! ✨

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi Christine! Thank you so much for the lovely feedback and so happy you enjoy my videos. I love trader joe's too - it's so affordable and they have great variety! Plus, the people that work there are always so nice and make the experience more enjoyable :)

[@TM-li7bl]

You vids are really inspiring to become a Vegan which I know to be the best way to eat. I thank you for this channel because most of vegan channels are boring food and too hard ( tasteless) to follow. I’m an excellent cook myself so I’m very motivated to get back into healthy life style NOW. Again, thank you!!

[@WifeMamaFoodie]

I love watching your videos Nisha! You have such a fun personality and give so many creative, yet practical meal ideas too! Trader Joe's is one of my favorite places to shop and I'm super excited to try some of your delicious looking recommendations!

[@sravyamb8660]

yeeees!! The lentils and plantain chips are two of my favorite things at Trader Joe's! I never leave the store without them. Can't wait to pick up some of your other favs (definitely the snickerdoodles!!) the next time i go to TJs!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww thanks, Srav! I love how easy the lentils are to incorporate into meals. And get ready for the snickerdoodles - so fluffy and yummy!

[@georginamuns44]

Learned a lot from this video as always - you are a natural! 🤗💙

[@john4385]

Love all your videos! Thank you Nisha. BTW WFM sells canned beans with no salt at a reduced price.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hey John! thank you so much for your kind words! And yes, I love the whole foods 365 beans! I have a whole foods video too if you're interested :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoS2ZaWdZcmtnLs

[@PMDawn7]

I'm really enjoying your channel. I work in Brooklyn and my coworkers go to that TJ's all the time.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you. Isn't it so beautiful? I used to work nearby so I would go all the time but sadly not as much anymore.

[@sallymadigan6511]

This is low key asmr

[@RainbowPlantLife]

haha that made me laugh. I had never heard that about my voice until I started making youtube videos and had to google it lol.

[@MrNioMoon]

I love Dolma! My family makes a vegetable version of it, which is vegan! 😋 (Your humor is amazing, by the way!)

[@RainbowPlantLife]

YUM! so amazing. I love dolma. I wish someone would make them for me haha.

[@thevalarieann]

I'm in love with you now watching this video ! I love how silly you are

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi Valarie! You’re so sweet haha. Thank you!

[@mtnblubird4304]

Not sure if you want to be hard core, but ak-mak has butter😳 Love your channel!! You are fantastic!💕

[@privateprivate8366]

Ha! I’m also a chocolate lady, living a state away from you and working towards healthy meal prep. Nice ideas! There’s a TJs a town over from me that I have yet to visit. Thank you!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Lol yay! I hope you'll enjoy some of these goodies next time you hit up Trader Joe's! Also try their frozen jackfruit crab cakes! A relatively new item and they're so good!

[@privateprivate8366]

RainbowPlantLife I have some jackfruit in the fridge right now that I have yet to try. Plus, I’m working my way towards making vegan lunches for myself, have acquired some really nice glass containers and am awaiting a Hot Logic portable oven so, I can take my vegan chili and roasted vegetables to work. Oh and, I’m also considering getting a Misfits Market subscription. Thank you for your work. Very inspiring!❤️

[@16Eboni2]

that medditerian falafel bowl looks good.

[@amelian9677]

I will try that falafel bowl and hummus platter for sure. 😋

[@NishaBalsara]

Ok just dropping by bc I found another vegan Nisha and I’m freaking out! 💚

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww that makes me so happy! You are so freakin adorable, just watched a bunch of your videos hehe :)

[@NishaBalsara]

RainbowPlantLife I just did the same thing! You’re adorable! It’s so fun seeing someone else on YT saying “hi I’m Nisha”!

[@2muchtv]

If you go to the front counter and ask they will provide you a printout of the vegan items.

[@priscilla.h.]

Just tried the falafel bowl! So yummy! Perfect for a busy law student! Thank you! :)

[@ms_andree_marie]

I love Trader Joe's - going to try your recipes 🍽😎

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Yay that's awesome! I love the store too - so inexpensive and so much variety!

[@pujavora2317]

Love these ideas! You know I'm not a salad person but I could be after seeing this video. Also snickerdoodle!!!!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

I'll be sending you some snickerdoodles soon!

[@ShaiBooVlogs]

Such a great haul! I shop at trader joes all the time and i definitely got some ideas! We recently became vegan and hauled some stuff from trader joes on our channel - we got totally different things!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi there! Thank you so much for watching. That makes me happy to hear :) Going to check out your video now!

[@Woahhhitsmonica]

I was recently there ! I wish I saw this sooner. Thank you for an informative video.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww I hope you can go back soon and try some of these yummy products. Thank you, Monica!

[@Canadiangal1970]

I wish Trader Joe's would set up shop here in Ontario, Canada!!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Yes that would be amazing :)

[@christinatroxidou4098]

Ntolmas here in Greece is a very popular traditional dish. But we call them ntolmadakia. The weird thing is that i watch all the time vegan grocery from trader joe's , whole foods , walmart etc. And of course in Europe and especially in Greece there are none of them. so i cant find these things but still enjoying to watch and take ideas.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi Christina, thank you for watching even if you can't find these items in Greece. I visited Greece a few years ago and had some ntolmadakia and loved to. What are some of your favorite vegan Greek dishes or Greek dishes that you like to veganize?

[@christinatroxidou4098]

Thank you very much for your suggestion but i think i veganize my favourites greek dishes. Like pastitsio , gemista , gyros etc.

[@suzychapman6903]

Love the grocery haul - you have inspired me (as usual)!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

aww thank you! ☺

[@talyapage4012]

Thank you for a list.

[@fatjoshddr]

could you do an update video with another TJ's haul? a lot of their offerings are updated!

[@Bharathirr]

Great Video as always Nisha :) Loved your cute little jokes :) I am starting now to Trader Joe :)

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hey Bharathi, thank you so much, you are so kind :)

[@dprice6189]

I buy the dolmas at sprouts because unlike traders Joe's they dont contain canola oil.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Good to know! Unfortunately don't have a sprouts here in NY but I love going there when I visit in California.

[@StefanundLulu]

Your videos are so amazing!! :) Love it

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww thank you, Lulu! Appreciate it!

[@sarahseguin4199]

Those are great ideas!!!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Thank you, Sarah! Hope you try them out 💗

[@pranusha999]

You have such a cute personaility!! Thanks for inspiring others :)

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww you make me blush. Thank you so much :)

[@Debtanz49]

Best video yet!!!!

[@gerarddms7840]

love this video Nisha haha

[@RainbowPlantLife]

aww thanks, Gerard!

[@traceym4590]

I'm new to your channel & loving it!!! Btw: Where can I find that tahini salad dressing recipe?

[@jesseybellable]

New subscriber!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Yay! Thank you for being here, Jessica!

[@oliviayt04]

yum! These foods look great PS: your brows are amazing!!! who does them, if you don't mind me asking?

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hey Olivia! Thank you so much! I just do them myself with a tweezer and a little bit of pencil. I used to have pencil thin eyebrows so this is a major improvement lol.

[@if6436]

Very good

[@raisamartinez9016]

Where did you purchase the plates and bowls?

[@RainbowPlantLife]

The large green bowl is from Ikea. And the blue plate, I believe, is from west elm.

[@jillom397]

I love your channel and recipes, however, I would really appreciate simpler recipes with less garlic/onions and recipes that use stevia/bananas/dates/monk fruit/agave as sweeteners. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@jlux5346]

Am chocolate too nisha and love it.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hehe yes love it!

[@2muchtv]

If you go to the counter they have a lost if vegan items.

[@jamieson12345]

FYI: AK Mak crackers are not Vegan. They have Butter (And honey, if that counts). Unless there is a variety that is vegan that I​ am not aware of. :-)

[@jamieson12345]

Oh, Sorry, I didn't​ see the disclaimer!! I ate them for a LOOOOONG time myself before realizing they had butter!! Yea, who'da thunk!?!? Love your videos and attitude!! You're adorable!!

[@coffeecashcraze]

STUFF STUFF!

[@emelineemeline9114]

In future please mention the price of each item Or post it at the bottom - Thanks

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi there, thanks for your comment. I didn't include prices because they vary based on location and I live in NYC, which is the most expensive city 🤑

[@lorenzomattera6135]

Thanks for sharing, very helpful.... and the burp was too cute. I luv honest, natural videos and not the polished BS videos.

[@DeborahBergenbeaderreader]

Let's see the junk food 🤗

[@RainbowPlantLife]

hehe thanks Deborah :)

[@suzannemanley1309]

I could skip the burp lol

[@Regulartwins]

Oh wonder who ate those missing cookies 😂

[@RainbowPlantLife]

hehe they are sooo good and so hard not to eat!

[@DeborahBergenbeaderreader]

What is your favorite wine from Trader Joes?

[@RainbowPlantLife]

I like the Panilonco cab and Encuentro red bobal - both are vegan!

[@Canadiangal1970]

Nice vegan burp! 😂

[@RainbowPlantLife]

hehe i tend to burp quite a bit

[@mariacr4086]

Is Trader Joe's barbecue vegan?

[@if6436]

Recipe

[@beckeebuckeye0049]

Your the best your beautiful

[@davidmoss2177]

Ak mak has honey and butter😓

[@RainbowPlantLife]

i know :( I was as sad as you are when I realized that! I put a disclaimer in the video description once i learned that. I used to eat these in my pre-vegan days and just assumed they were vegan when I went to the store and bought them (they’re whole wheat crackers after all)!

[@Whaarielle]

The kimchi has fish in it.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Thanks! I just showed footage of it at the store, I didn't buy it. I just bought their sauerkraut :)

[@acttinglikeerbie.4551]

Last time I check, trader joe's kimchi isn't vegan.. just so you know and no one is confused about you showing it and they find out it's not.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Thanks for the info :) I didn't include kimchi in my video though, just sauerkraut. I usually buy a vegan kimchi from whole foods.

[@acttinglikeerbie.4551]

RainbowPlantLife I was wondering where I coild get some! Thanks!

[@acttinglikeerbie.4551]

And I meant include by, just that you showed it not actually bought.

[@XoXoPunkPrincess]

KFC ad on a vegan video... 😅

[@RainbowPlantLife]

ahh yes lol . unfortunately i don't get to pick which ads come up!

[@julietvalentine7709]

you lost me at ak mak.... I miss them... they have BUTTER in them, so not vegan!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Yeah I know :( I put a disclaimer in the description after I realized it. I used to eat them in college and recently started buying them shortly before I made this video, assuming that whole wheat crackers would be naturally vegan. Silly me, don’t assume!

[@JunkYard_Boys]

Are you married?lol
