Does Trader Joe’s Have Vegan Food Options?

76 Best Vegan Food Items at Trader Joe’s
In this section, I will go through all 76 of my favorite food items at Trader Joe’s item by item.
1. Vegan Salmon Dip
To start, I wanted to share my current favorite vegan item at Trader Joe’s – their new vegan salmon dip. It’s basically Trader Joe’s vegan equivalent of lox spread and let me tell you – it is insane. I brought it to a picnic recently and everyone at the picnic (non-vegans included) loved it as much as I do. It really does taste like what I remember smoked salmon tasting like (before I became vegan).
2. Vegan Garlic Spread Dip
Next – another vegan picnic staple – Trader Joe’s vegan garlic spread dip. This dip is not calorie friendly, but it is delicious. Made from emulsification of oil and garlic – if you love garlic you will love this.
3. Simply Eggless Plant Based Egg
If you miss eggs as a vegan and are fed up with tofu scramble, then make sure to give Trader Joe’s simply eggless plant-based egg a try. Reviews on this are mixed, but if you miss eggs, it’s worth giving it a try.
4. Trader Joe’s Gluten-Free Pizza Crusts
Fancy whipping up a vegan gluten-free pizza at home? Trader Joe’s has you covered with this gluten-free and vegan pizza crust. I use this regularly when I just want to make a quick vegan pizza at home.
5. Sriracha Flavored Baked Tofu
Now if like me you want to love tofu, but find it a bit bland then check out Trader Joe’s Sriracha-flavored baked tofu. It packs more of a punch than most tofu, but the spice is worth it for the flavor.
6. Vegan Sour Cream Alternative
Do you want a vegan sour cream to throw on some nachos or to dip into? Look no further than Trader Joe’s sour cream alternative.
7. Turkeyless Ground
If you want to whip up a vegan “turkey” bolognaise then Trader Joe’s has you covered with the turkeyless ground. This is a solid meat alternative useful for sauces, taco mixes, bakes, etc.
8. Instant Boba Kit
If like me, you spend way too much money in Boba stores then try making your own vegan boba at home with this Instant Boba kit from Trader Joe’s.
Also, if you love Boba, but want to make sure what you are ordering is vegan check out my post: How To Find Out – Is Boba Vegan where I cover every vegan question you have about Boba drinks.
9. Vegan Kale, Cashew & Basil Pesto
The vegan kale, cashew, and basil pesto is another classic dip I always grab for a picnic. All the vegan pesto vibes. It also works as a pesto sauce to mix into salads, or with pasta.
10. Vegan Brioche Loaf
Brioche isn’t usually vegan – so if you are a vegan who misses brioche it’s great to know that Trader Joe’s has a vegan brioche available.
11. Seasoned Waffle Cut Fries
Ok so I realize most fries are vegan anyway but if you are in the mood for fries when at Trader Joe’s then check out their seasoned waffle cut fries. They are waffle-cut and vegan.
12. Carrot Ginger Miso Dressing
My favorite dressing at Trader Joe’s is their Green Goddess dressing (see below), but their carrot ginger miso dressing is also a solid dressing. It has a good Asian-style flavor to it that works great with salads.
13. Peanut Butter Caramel Coated Popcorn
I mean what isn’t to love about popcorn that has caramel, and peanut butter and is vegan! Enough said.
14. Vegan Spinach & Cashew Ravioli
Another favorite from Trader Joe’s. Ravioli is something that is quite hard to find for a vegan. And spinach in any savory dish makes it better (in my opinion).
15. Chimichurri Sauce
Trader Joe’s chimichurri sauce is made from parsley, cilantro, garlic, cumin, red pepper, oil, and vinegar. The perfect sauce if you love bold herby flavors.

Next up – another bold tofu from Trader Joe’s. This time teriyaki.
17. Organic Vegan Nacho Dip
Another legendary vegan Trader Joe’s dip. This time their organic vegan nacho dip.
18. Thai Banana Fritters
These Thai banana fitters consist of banana that has been coated in a sweet batter made from shredded coconut, coconut milk, rice flour, and sesame seeds, and then fried. Good as an appetizer or savory snack.
19. Chickenless Crispy Tenders
Can’t go wrong with some vegan “chicken” especially if it’s from Trader Joe’s. Your inner child will thank you for some vegan chickenless tenders.
20. Tteok Bok Ki
Okay, the next item is probably the hardest to pronounce on the list (it’s pronounced tuk-bow-kee). It’s basically a Korean rice cake dish – the snack consists of bite-sized rice cakes and a packet of fiery, gochujang-spiced sauce.
21. Oat Chocolate Bars
Another personal Trader Joe’s favorite here. This time it is Trader Joe’s oat chocolate bars. If you sometimes get bored of dark chocolate, then you MUST try these oat chocolate bars from Trader Joe’s.
22. Everything but the Bagel Seasoned Crackers
