Quinoa and Black Bean Infused Tortilla Chips

There's no beating the sweet and salty taste of tortilla chips, and this healthy Trader Joe's snack version is even better because it's made with fiber-rich quinoa and black beans.

09

Strawberry Overnight Oats

This overnight oats flavor is relatively new, but it might be the best yet. These gluten-free rolled oats are combined with strawberry purée, strawberry purée concentrate, and strawberry juice concentrate for a sweet and filling snack packed with plenty of fiber. You can even add your own strawberry slices on top.

10

Freeze-Dried Raspberries

Freeze-dried raspberries are officially back, and they're already flying off the shelves. To create the ultra-concentrated raspberry flavor, Trader Joes freezes ripe raspberries, lowers the the atmospheric pressure around them, then heats them back up, effectively vaporizing the frozen water within the berries. It takes over half a pound of fresh raspberries to make each freeze-dried pouch, but this flavorful, healthy snack is so worth it.
