I’m a Trader Joe’s fan girl. But, It wasn’t always this way. The first time I walked into Trader Joe’s I said I was never going back! I “couldn’t find anything”. I didn’t realize the concept of the Trader Joe’s brand and how the store worked. Now I constantly look forward to Trader Joe’s, and of course, all the seasonal items you can only snag once a year!!
Trader Joe’s has some unique products that you can put together to make easy and delicious meals. One catch– they tend to sneak a lot of seed oils into their pre-made products. While a seed oil here and there isn’t a big deal…it does add up when its in your bread, your mayo, your sauce, and then your favorite chocolate! Seed oils are highly inflammatory oils that I recommend to NO ONE. PUFAS are very easily oxidized and thus go rancid easily. My family and I avoid seed oils as much as we can control.
I’m always on the hunt for seed oil free trader Joe’s items. Here are some recipes I put together that are seed oil free. They are gluten free as well.
