My healthy Trader Joe’s favorites are lazy girl friendly – a frozen item passes the nutrient-rich vibe check
A DIETITIAN has shared her favorite “lazy girl” Trader Joe’s food favorites.
The professional said one frozen item even passed her vibe check.
Hailey (@thetipsykale_rd), a Los Angeles-based dietitian, shared her picks with over 20,000 TikTok followers.
“Trader Joe’s has a lot of lazy girl friendly products but not all of them are lazy girl friendly and healthy,” she said.
“Instead of making our own rice at home, because again we’re lazy and that’s too much work, we’re getting a frozen multigrain blend of vegetables,” she said, showing off the bag of rice with veggies.
“First, it’s fully cooked, you just need to heat it and defrost it,” she said.
“Second, not only does it give you rice but also vegetables so you don’t have to prepare vegetables with it.”
“You got peas, carrots, zucchinis and fiberlicious carbies from the rice… I want at least 1 gram of fiber for every 10 grams of carbs and this passes the vibe check, I’ve got 5 grams of fiber for almost 30 grams of carbs,” she said.
Next, the dietitian said that just because you’re eating healthy, doesn’t mean you can’t be all about the meats.
“Do healthy girls like high-protein turkey meatballs? Yes,” she said.
“Do lazy girls like making it? No! I give you pre-made turkey meatballs,” she said.
“2 meatballs give you 12g of protein, buying these relieves you of the burden of having to prepare turkey meatballs,” she said.
“You don’t have to deal with food safety or worrying about cross-contamination or gathering all the other ingredients that go into a meatball, you just heat this and you’re good to go.”
Similarly, the professional picked out pre-cooked grilled chicken strips and steak for the same convenience.
“Gimme a salute if you’re a h* for Joe,” she joked.
People took to the comments to share their thoughts on her recs.
“Omg thank you so much I love Trader Joe’s and I’m trying to eat healthier so this is amazing,” said one commenter.
