I had the TJ Shrimp Stir Fry tonight. It is in the frozen section and comes with shrimp, veggies and seasoning. Only 70 calories per serving and it was really tasty! Put over brown rice for a super tasty, low point and filling WW dinner!

Thanks for the updates. I love Trader Joe's! I put the soycatash in everything - try it in a low-carb tortilla with taco sauce and a sprinking of cheddar, with low-fat sour cream. It makes an awesome lo-cal filling veggie burrito.

Tonight I made Asparagus Risotto (4 pts for a cup) and Spinach and Feta Chicken Sausage (3 pts per link) and both were delicious!

Going this weekend to stock up. Anyone try anything new from there recently? Chat Icon

I'm soo not an organic gal and I'm cheap.

Honestly, how much are those chicken patties? I'm always looking for low point foods.

Thanks!

Funny two years later and I still eat and love everything I posted. Recently discovered TJ's Low Fat frozen french toast. Yum!

Yes they do have the frozen steel cut oatmeal. I tried it for the first time a few weeks ago.

I tried something new tonight - TJ's Roasted Pork Florentine. It was pork tenderloin stuffed with spinach, roasted red peppers and cheese. It was 6 pts for 1/3 the roast which was nice size serving. I bet if you cut it thinner you could get more servings out of it and it would be less points. Delicious! I will definitely get that again.

Today I tried the ready-made steel cut oatmeals for the first time (thanks Kim!!!) and it was delicious! Just a warning though I love bland things so you may have to dress it up. It is super good for you though and only 2 pts, very filling. I added a cup of fresh blueberries and it was a great 3 pt breakfast.

So glad you liked the oatmeal!

Tried the Trader Joe's Frozen Chocolate Covered Banana - whoa so good and for a delicious treat is 4 points. Comes on a popsicle stick so it is easy to eat. Tastes like you dipped a banana in a chocolate fountain. Chat Icon Chat Icon

Tonight tried:

TJ's Apple and Almond Stuffed Pork Chop - 4 pts per serving
TJ's Peeled and Cut Butternut Squash - 2 pts per cup. I roasted the squash with some salt/pepper/cinnamon. Then when it was done drizzled it with a little I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. So yummy!

I don't know if it was because I have not had pork chops in a while but this meal was probably one of my all time favorites from TJ's.

chilli lime burgers are my FAV!!!!!! i eat them with romaine lettuce and WW hamburger buns.


i also cut up the burger and make chicken tacos with it. (salsa, a lil bit of rice and a 3pt taco shell) not the lowest in points, but its yummy.


chilli covered dried mangos *drool*. i have no self control. i usual eat the entire pack in a sitting.



also.. TJ pastry puff margarita pizza... SOOOOOOO good. very flaky. and i think its 1.99?? such a great deal.


they also have fiber fruit roll ups. 6gs of fiber in each one. WOOPWOOP!
