I love Trader Joe’s. Since we don’t live close to one, Mac and I go there every other month and stock up. They have good prices and a good selection of items we can’t also find at other stores. We’ve found a lot of great options that are keto at Trader Joe’s.
Meats
Trader Joe’s has a great selection of marinated and prepared meats. We love the chicken shwarma, carne asada, and rosemary beef tips. Double check the net carbs, but most of these are well under 10 net carbs per serving. They also have some good options for breakfast and link sausage. We stock up and freeze most of what we buy.
In the ready-to-eat meat section, I like to buy Applegate lunch meat. This brand is pretty clean, and Trader Joe’s prices are much cheaper than most other grocery stores. I also grab the pre-cooked bacon if I want to add some fat and protein to my meals. Mac likes Italian deli meat, and you can find a bunch of options. They also sell some of the combo packs with lunch meat and cheese.
Produce
I’m a big fan of washed and ready-to-eat produce. We normally opt for salad mix, stir fry veggies, green beans, and zucchini. You should find most of your regular veggies in their produce section.
Cheese and dairy
Trader Joe’s has good prices on Kerrygold and some other good quality dairy. And their eggs and cream cheese are cheap. I also love their cheese section. They stock a great variety of flavored cheese blocks, and their Swiss and Gruyere blend is amazing. And I always grab sliced and string cheese for lunch. I would recommend checking the carbs first, as the carbs can vary a lot based on what you buy.
Pantry items
I also like stocking up on pantry items at Trader Joe’s. You can find great prices on ghee, mayonnaise, cooking oil, dressings, and spices. You may also be able to find low-carb tortillas.
