Gluten Free Favorites at Trader Joe's

We shop at Trader Joe’s A LOT here in NYC and they have some awesome gluten free items! Here’s a quick round up of just a few of my favorites.

Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Breaded Chicken Breast Nuggets

I honestly didn’t expect to like these. I figured the breading wouldn’t actually be that great and it would make them mediocre at best. But I actually love these and we buy them pretty often! It makes a great lunch for this work-from-home season! They take about 20 minutes to bake (flip half way through) and they’re awesome! Highly recommend!

Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Microwavable Macaroni & Cheese

Another item I thought I wouldn’t like. Amy’s Gluten Free Rice Mac & Cheese is still my number 1 but this is definitely second place. I like the spiral noodles and it’s got four cheeses making it taste fancier than something microwavable haha!

Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Joe-Joe’s

Okay, GF Joe-Joe’s and the cookies below are probably my two favorite Trader Joe’s finds! (If you can’t tell by looking at these, they’re a gluten free alternative to Oreo’s. I love, love, love them! Especially for crumbling into vanilla ice cream for gluten free cookies and cream ice cream!

Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Crispy Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Y’all! These are a total dupe of Tate’s Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies! They are almost impossible to differentiate! They’re maybe a fraction less crisp than Tate’s but they’re pretty darn close. AND they’re slightly cheaper.

There are many other spectacular gluten free finds at Trader Joe’s but these are just a few of my favorites!! What are your gluten free favorites at Trader Joe’s?
