If you're a fan of TJ's Hearts of Palm Pasta or Palmini's products, this will be a familiar concept. For the uninitiated, these are tender hearts of palm that have been blitzed into rice-like bits. The texture is very similar to actual rice, and this product isn’t as tart as some other hearts-of-palm products. Dress it up with cheesy sauces, marinara, and just your favorite seasonings. It's shelf stable, so stock your pantry!
Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Date Royale
3 pieces: 140 calories, 6g total fat (2.5g sat. fat), 0mg sodium, 20g carbs, 2g fiber, 17g total sugars (4g added sugars), 2g protein

We love the whole chocolate-covered stuffed-dates concept, and these treats are total winners! They're like truffles, but most of the sugar is naturally occurring as opposed to being added. These pitted dates are filled with peanut butter and coated with chocolate… What could be better? This is a top-notch swap for standard candy.
HG FYI: Trader Joe’s stock varies by location… You might want to call
