Back in 2018, we took our first “legit” trip to Trader Joe’s. We asked our closed Facebook Group, The Peas and Carrots Society for some of their top Trader Joe’s Vegan and Vegetarian products and they did not disappoint!
In this episode of the Vegetarian Zen podcast, we share our experiences from that first trip. You can listen here or read on for our current top 10 products.
Note: This article has been updated for 2020 so the items listed in the podcast recorded in 2018 may differ.
You Can listen here or read on for an updated list of our favorite Trader Joe’s Vegan and Vegetarian products.

Flavorful AND spicy, I use Trader Joe’s Green Dragon Sauce on a wide variety of foods.

-It is the perfect complement to rice, eggs, etc.
Trader Joe’s Gluten-Free Ginger Chunk Cookies (Vegetarian)
These Ginger Chunk Cookies were HIGHLY recommended by the folks in our closed Facebook Group, The Peas and Carrots Society. Since it has eggs, it’s not vegan but definitely a great vegetarian treat!
- Crispy Crunchy, sweet and buttery rich, baked golden brown and melt in your mouth
- Filled with chunks of sweet-spicy ginger, 2 bags of absolutely delectable GF cookies
- Each 7 oz bag contains approximately 14 cookies, perfect for teatime or special treat

Chicken-Less Chicken Mandarin Orange Morsels (Vegan)
If you’re looking to add some great flavor to your next stir fry, try some of these Chicken-less Mandarin Orange Morsels! Tangy and sweet, these quickly became one of our freezer staples.
Trader Joe’s Coconut Creamer (Vegan)
I drink coffee every day and like having it with cream. As a Lacto-ovo vegetarian, I was okay with using Half and Half but the rise of some great vegan creamers including this one from TJ’s makes it easy to switch!
Trader Joe’s Soy Chorizo (Vegan)
In all honesty, I haven’t had a soy chorizo brand I haven’t liked yet. This one from TJ’s is great for breakfast tacos or to mix in with some beans for added protein and flavor.
Trader Joe’s Almond Windmill Cookies (Vegetarian)
I remember having a variety of these almond windmill cookies as a kid and these from TJ’s hit the spot!
No artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives.
Trader Joe’s Masala Simmer Sauce (Vegan)
If you’re looking for something to spice up those legumes or your next stir fry, this Masala Simmer Sauce is it!

- Use as a base for legumes, stir fry, or vegetable dishes
- No artificial colors or flavors
- No Preservatives
Trader Joe’s Jumbo Cinnamon Rolls (Vegan)
We’re closing out our list with these yummy Jumbo Cinnamon Rolls that are “accidentally vegan”. That means, while not necessarily intentional, these rolls do not contain any animal products such as dairy or eggs.
