The Overlooked Trader Joe's Section You're Not Shopping, But Should
Organic Jalapeño Limeade
Trader Joe’s Instagram fan accounts can’t get enough of Trader Joe’s Organic Jalapeño Limeade. New to the store for $2.29 a bottle, this refreshing drink isn’t too spicy, but it’s spicy enough to liven up your margarita.
Watermelon Cucumber Cooler
Trader Joe’s Watermelon Cucumber Cooler, $3.49, is not only delicious, but it’s also incredibly versatile: Drink it straight, pour it into a blender with watermelon chunks and make slushies with it, add a splash of vodka and make a cocktail. Go crazy… we did.
Zhoug Sauce
Zhoug Sauce is back, baby. This cilantro-based sauce condiment pairs well with everything from eggs to ribeye steak. And for only $2.99 a tub, the options are virtually endless.
Dairy-Free Cheddar Style Slices
These dairy-free, “cultured-cashew ‘cheese‘” slices launched in May, and since, they’ve been all the rage. “This not only gives each Slice a moderately sharp, Cheddar-like flavor but mellows its texture to a degree where it melts nice and evenly,” TJ’s writes.
Lemon Chess pie
Brand-new to TJ’s, Lemon Chess Pie ($7.99) boasts a sweet-tart lemon custard in a rich shortbread crust. TJ’s recommends serving each slice with a dollop of whipped cream.
Patio Potato Chips
Your next backyard barbecue needs this rule-breaking bag of potato chips. You see, Patio Potato Chips ($2.29) isn’t your ordinary bag of chips; this one’s comprised of four flavors: Sea Salt & Vinegar, Delicious Dill, Homestyle Ketchup, and Smokin’ Sweet BBQ.
Honey Aleppo Pepper Sauce
Trader Joe’s Honey Aleppo Sauce ($3.99) is described as a sweet, savory, tangy and “slightly spicy” all-purpose sauce.
Cold Pressed Pineapple Juice
What’s more refreshing than an ice-cold glass of cold-pressed pineapple juice during these sweltering-hot summer months?
Organic Sugar Cones
In Episode 26 of Trader Joe’s podcast, Inside Trader Joe’s, hosts Tara Miller and Matt Sloan revealed seven other new products already available on shelves, including these organic sugar cones.
At $3.99 a box, these cones are made with organic wheat flour, organic dark brown sugar, and organic coconut oil, and they pair great with TJ’s Ultra Chocolate Super Premium Ice Cream.
Turkeyless Protein Patty
Available in the refrigerated section is TJ’s new Turkeyless Protein Patty, which according to Miller, tastes just like a turkey burger. Or, you can pair the patty with another new item, the Lemony Arugula Basil Salad Kit.

This bright, acidic, salad kit is comprised of arugula, carrots, almonds, and parmesan cheese with a basil lemon vinaigrette — and, according to Sloan, is a “great combo” with the Turkeyless Protein Patty.
Cauliflower Thin

Trader Joe’s has no shortage of bread substitutes, and this month, they’ve added two new versatile subs: Cauliflower Thins and their Jicama Wrap.
Jicama Wrap
“The one that I’m fascinated by, which right now I don’t think is available in every store, are the Jicama Wraps cause it’s literally just very thinly sliced jicama that looks like a corn tortilla. It has 15 calories and three grams of carbs in two wraps,” Miller said.
Baton Wafer Cookies (Vanilla, Chocolate & Lemon)

At $1.99 each, why wouldn’t you pick up all three baton wafer cookie flavors?
Spicy Salami Chips

Don’t let “chips” fool you, Sloan says: This product is located in the refrigerator section. “Like a nice light summer lager would be a fantastic pairing with those little salami chips,” he recommends.
