Trader Joe's Buttermilk Protein Pancake Mix

1/3 cup dry mix (makes two 4-inch pancakes): 140 calories, 1g total fat (0g sat. fat), 260mg sodium, 23g carbs, 3g fiber, <1g sugars, 10g protein -- SmartPoints® value 3*

This high-protein pancake mix is one of the best we've ever tried! The buttermilk flavor is PERFECT, and the pancakes cook up crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Just add water! They even inspired a creative new 3-ingredient recipe… Coming soon!

Trader Joe's Chicken Cilantro Mini Wontons

4 pieces: 50 calories, 0.5g total fat (0g sat. fat), 150mg sodium, 9g carbs, 1g fiber, 1g sugars, 3g protein -- SmartPoints® value 1*

Bite-sized dumplings filled with perfectly seasoned chicken? We could eat these all day. And since you can have four for only 50 calories, we just might! Cook some in a pan, or microwave them for about 2 minutes. Savory deliciousness in a flash. Such a great snack to keep in the freezer at all times!

Trader Joe's Vegan Jackfruit Crabless Cakes

2 cakes: 150 calories, 6g total fat (1.5g sat. fat), 470mg sodium, 21g carbs, 6g fiber, 1g sugars, 2g protein -- SmartPoints® value 5*

Major meatless find! We haven’t been super impressed with the other jackfruit products we’ve tried in the past, but these babies change everything. Found in the freezer section, these vegan patties truly taste like high-quality crab cakes. Lisa’s (non-vegan) breakfast trick: Top ‘em with a sunny-side-up egg! Everyone should give these a try…
HG FYI: Trader Joe’s stock varies by location… Give your local TJ’s a call before shopping to confirm availability.
