If you've recently moved off-campus, you know all too well the struggle of living without a meal plan. There's only so long you can live off of instant ramen and bullying freshmen into letting you use their meal points. That's where Trader Joe's comes in. Here are some of the best products offered by Trader Joe's that are quick, easy, cheap, and healthier than most of the junk you've probably been eating:
1. Veggie Kabobs, $4.99
Already chopped, cleaned, and skewered for you. The perfect healthy compliment to any protein dish that only requires grilling.
2. Microwaveable Asparagus, $2.99
Comes pre-seasoned with olive oil, salt, and pepper so you only have to pop it in the microwave for about three minutes. Voila! Perfect addition to any dish.
3. Oven-Roasted Turkey Breast, $4.79
Quick and easy way to make a turkey sandwich or some turkey-and-cheese cracker snacks for on-the-go meals.
4. Frozen Mac-and-Cheese, $3.00
If you're gonna stoop to frozen foods, may as well go for the best frozen mac-and-cheese ever. Almost tastes like it's homemade, so you don't have to feel bad about going the frozen route.
5. Thai Shrimp Gyoza, $4.29
Easy to pop in the microwave or fry in the pan, and tastes like you ordered it as an appetizer at your favorite Thai restaurant. Flavorful while still being made with wholesome, better-for-you ingredients.
6. Organic Creamy Tomato Soup, $2.29
Perfect quick fix to add to a sandwich or salad, or enjoyable all on its own. Comes in convenient packaging so it's easy for fast meals and saving the rest for later. Not to mention it's organic--which is probably a lot better for you than those Campbell's canned soups you've been stocking up on!
