Is Trader Joe’s Healthy? Nutrition Breakdown of 600+ Items!

I am not affiliated with Trader Joe’s, and all product names and images are property of Trader Joe’s.

Trader Joe’s is one of my favorite places on Earth. Put it right there at the top of my list alongside Target and Wegmans.

If you’re like me, you probably find yourself shopping at Trader Joe’s pretty much every chance you get.

So I figured I’d help you out a little bit by helping you to identify healthy foods at Trader Joe’s.

I’ve compiled a guide of over 600 Trader Joe’s items and provided all of the nutrition facts for them! If you’re looking for something in particular, like a low-fat frozen food option, for example, you’ll be able to easily find it here.

Whatever a healthy diet means to you, my hope is that this guide can help you find the best healthy Trader Joe’s products for YOUR diet.

Keep scrolling down to explore each category, and I’ll break down some of my favorite items in each category as well.

What’s So Great About Trader Joe’s, Anyway?

I used to think Trader Joe’s was just another version of Whole Foods. You know, a health food store that will only carry fresh produce or healthy items with simple ingredients

But Trader Joe’s is much different, as I’ve come to learn. Here’s a direct quote from their website that explains what they’re all about:

At Trader Joe’s, you won’t find a lot of branded items. Instead, you’ll discover a store full of unique and interesting products, along with everyday basics, in the Trader Joe’s label.

This is what I love most about this store: most of the products are their own!

While you’ll find some name-brand items (they carry some of my favorite protein bars, like ONE bar and Barebells), most of the items are unique to Trader Joe’s.

Not only is most of the food absolutely delicious, but they use quality ingredients in all of their food, and they have incredibly affordable prices, too.

There’s a good reason why Trader Joe’s has become my go-to store to grocery shop at (and I’ll admit, has become a bit of a guilty pleasure experience).

Every item at Trader Joe’s isn’t necessarily “healthy” by many definitions of the word (some of their most popular items are the baked desserts and bags of chips) but that doesn’t mean you won’t find plenty of healthy options here, too.

I avoided Trader Joe’s for a long time because I assumed it would all be overpriced, but I often find better deals at TJ’s than at my local supermarket!

But Trader Joe’s is a great option all around, and it’s the inspiration behind a lot of new content you’ll find here from my Trader Joe’s Pizza Recipe to Orange Chicken in the Air Fryer.

High-Protein Options at Trader Joe’s

You may have specific dietary preferences outside of protein, but as someone who eats a high-protein diet, I wanted to highlight some of the best protein sources at Trader Joe’s.

Trader Joe’s has a lot of meat and seafood options that are very high in protein, but I purposely left them out here. It’s not a surprise that chicken breast, ground turkey, or shrimp contain many grams of protein, so I wanted to highlight some less obvious items instead.

Don’t worry, you can still scroll down to see the many meat options.

One of the best sources of protein you’ll find at Trader Joe’s is the Pollo Asada, which contains 36g of protein per serving with only 240 calories!

Naturally, a lot of these options contain chicken, but there are some great meatless options, such as the oven-baked cheese bites with 15g of protein, or the egg frittata with 25g of protein.

One of my favorite ways to get extra protein at Trader Joe’s is by using the Shredded Lite Mozzarella Cheese. With only 60 calories per serving and 7g of protein, it’s a great way to sneak in some extra protein and get those health benefits with little effort.

While all these products contain meat or dairy, there are also plenty of high-protein vegan options at Trader Joe’s…

Generally speaking, vegan protein sources are not going to be quite as high as animal-based protein, but there are still some solid options here.

If you’re in search of a well-balanced meal, the Vegan Pasta Bolognese contains 30g of protein, and the Tofu Scramble with Soy Chorizo contains a generous 25g of protein.

My favorite “sneaky” source of protein on this list is the Sprouted Wheat Sourdough Bread. Sure, 7g of protein isn’t a ton, but when each slice of bread contains only 90 calories to go with that amount of protein, it’s a very easy way to add some extra protein to your meal.

Pair that bread with some peanut butter to make a sandwich, and you’ll have yourself nearly 20g of protein. Not bad!

Pair that bread with some peanut butter to make a sandwich, and you’ll have yourself nearly 20g of protein. Not bad!

It’s worth noting that a lot of plant-based options will contain high amounts of fiber as well, so if you track the grams of protein in your daily diet, keep that in mind.

For example, black beans contain almost as much fiber as protein (3 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein) so if you end up eating a lot to hit your protein goals, you’ll also be consuming lots of fiber.

Trader Joe’s Full Nutrition Guide: How To Use It

This guide is meant to help you find some healthy options at Trader Joe’s. Whether you’re looking for healthy Trader Joe’s snacks, or are just looking for new items for your Trader Joe’s shopping list, this post will help you.

I’ve broken the items down by category, the same way Traderjoes.com breaks up the items.

Under each category, you’ll find a sortable table of most of the available items at Trader Joe’s. You can sort by calories, macros, or use the search bar to find any item you’re looking for.

Note: the best viewing experience for the tables is on a Desktop due to the amount of information involved, but it will still work great on mobile (just a little scrolling involved).

Here are some important notes that I want to cover regarding what you’ll find here:

  • All nutrition facts come from Traderjoes.com, @traderjoesfoodreviews on Instagram, and my own shopping experience.
  • Trader Joe’s is constantly changing their items. They have many seasonal items, and they discontinue food regularly. So note that the items here may not all be available.
  • I included calories, fat, carbs, and protein in the nutrition facts below. I did not include the mg sodium, grams of sugar, or total fiber, because I have to draw the line somewhere in the interest of time. Use this as a starting point, and if you need more specific information, you can check the item out in store.
  • I very well may have missed items. You can search within each category, but if you don’t see one of your favorites, drop a comment at the bottom of this page and I’ll get it added!

Final Thoughts

Trader Joe’s has an endless amount of seasonal and limited edition items, some of which return and some of which disappear forever.

So, if you see an item missing from this guide, I truly apologize! I’m just one man trying to gather all of this information, and I know there are definitely new items I’ve missed.

Still, I hope this guide has proved useful for you the next time you’re looking for a healthy choice at Trader Joe’s.

Is Trader Joe’s healthy? Well, like any fast food, restaurant, or grocery store: it depends completely on how you define healthy eating.

But it’s clear that Trader Joe’s has a ton of amazing options, not to mention very reasonable prices, so if you’re trying to live a healthier lifestyle, Trader Joe’s can certainly help.

Hey all- Matt here. There are definitely items that didn't make the cut, simply because Trader Joe's doesn't list all items on their website, and because new items are released constantly. If you have something in mind that you don't see above, reply here and I'll get them added.

@Matt, How about the paneer tikka masala?

Thanks, Mark
