It's not quite pumpkin season at Trader Joe's yet, but that doesn't mean the store isn't stocked with plenty of new foods you'll want to try this September. Among the new products hitting shelves this month are peanut buttery granola clusters, an addictive Thai-inspired appetizer, and a new dinner option from Trader Joe's frozen aisle. Plus, a longtime TJ's favorite has made a triumphant comeback after it was sadly discontinued! Read on to discover all the best new items you'll want to add to your cart the next time you head to Trader Joe's.

01
Pick Up: Mango & Sticky Rice Spring Rolls ($3)

Pick Up: Mango & Sticky Rice Spring Rolls ($3)

I'm a little concerned about how much I love Trader Joe's Mango & Sticky Rice Spring Rolls; I might have to get these every single time from now on. Whoever created this hybrid appetizer knew exactly what they were doing by placing sweet, sticky coconut-milk rice and Thai mango inside a crispy spring roll wrapper. It's an unexpected way to eat mango and sticky rice, and it totally works.

02
Pick Up: Peanut Butter Protein Granola ($3)

Pick Up: Peanut Butter Protein Granola ($3)

Granola is great and all, but eating the same kind over and over again can get boring. We're loving this new Peanut Butter Protein Granola from TJ's because it satisfies our cravings for something crunchy and packs a protein punch at the same time. Not only is there plenty of peanut butter in each rolled-oats cluster, but there's also an added protein boost from pea protein, which you won't be able to taste. Not too sweet and just the right amount of nutty, these granola clusters are pretty damn addictive.

03
Pick Up: Organic Reduced Sugar Cherry Preserves ($3)

Pick Up: Organic Reduced Sugar Cherry Preserves ($3)

Get me a toasted English muffin ASAP, because I want to slather it with these Organic Reduced Sugar Cherry Preserves. These jammy preserves are not too sweet, slightly sour, and just chunky enough. At $3 per 15-ounce jar, this is worth the buy for something that tastes homemade.

04
Pick Up: Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry ($3)

Pick Up: Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry ($3)

Trader Joe's changed the game when it released riced cauliflower and cauliflower pizza crust. Now, Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry is the next cauli-loaded option from the store, and it's perfect as a last-minute dinner. The "rice" stir fry has green peas, red peppers, grilled corn, tamari, Spring onions, sesame oil, and ginger, so it's got a lot more flavor than meets the eye. Stock this in your freezer and you'll be less than 10 minutes away from a fast, healthy, and tasty dinner.

05
Pick Up: Organic Midnight Moo ($3)

Pick Up: Organic Midnight Moo ($3)

Trader Joe's Organic Midnight Moo is back! This beloved chocolate syrup is a years-old Trader Joe's product that was discontinued in 2016. After the unexpected hiatus, it's finally back and ready to be drizzled into chocolate milk, on top of ice cream, onto waffles, and with whatever else you want to eat the fat-free syrup with. Far superior to other store-bought chocolate syrups, this one is made with high-quality ingredients you can taste, like organic vanilla extract.

06
Pick Up: Organic Cacao Powder ($4) and Organic Maca Powder ($5)

Pick Up: Organic Cacao Powder ($4) and Organic Maca Powder ($5)

Organic maca powder doesn't come cheap, which is why the new Organic Maca Powder and Organic Cacao Powder are total steals. Maca is an Andean root vegetable that, when ground into powder form, can be added to smoothies and baked goods for benefits like improved energy. The fair-trade organic cacao powder is grown in Peru and is perfect for chocolaty smoothies, brownies, and chocolate pudding.

07
Pick Up: Kohlrabi Salad Blend ($2)

Pick Up: Kohlrabi Salad Blend ($2)

This new Kohlrabi Salad Blend isn't anything to write home about, but it's a fresh blend of crunchy veggies that makes for a solid desk-side lunch. The kohlrabi (a type of cabbage) is cut into matchsticks that pair well with the kale, golden beets, and red cabbage. If you want something a little cheaper than Trader Joe's prepackaged salads, pick up this loose mix and create your own; just be sure to bring your own dressing since you won't find any in the bag.

08
Pick Up: Organic Nicaraguan Coffee ($9)

Pick Up: Organic Nicaraguan Coffee ($9)

You won't find a lot of artisanal coffee for less than $10 at most grocery stores, but you will at Trader Joe's. The new Organic Nicaraguan Coffee is no exception, and if you prefer a medium-roast coffee with low acidity and slightly caramel-like notes, you'll want to grab a bag of this whole-bean coffee while you can. You can always use Trader Joe's in-store coffee grinder if you don't have one at home.
