Trader Joe’s has a nearly endless supply of delicious snacks, but not all of them qualify as healthy. There’s a time and place for everything, but a snack isn’t just an opportunity to satisfy a craving; it’s a chance to fill gaps in your diet — namely by getting in more fruits and vegetables since about 90% of Americans aren’t eating enough of these foods. It’s hard to meet your vitamin, mineral, antioxidant, and fiber requirements without adequate produce intake.
Go ahead and eat the whole bag if you like, and you’ll double up on the nutritiousness. Trader Joe’s Organic Light String Cheese One of these cheese sticks has 60 calories and 8 grams of protein — a good amount for a midday snack. Have it with a fruit or veggie to add fiber and antioxidants to your snack. Trader Joe’s Organic Seedy Crackers Twelve of these crackers have 140 calories, 2 grams of fiber, and 4 grams of protein.
