Trader Joe's Faves: Gluten-Free! - Mix & Match Mama (2024)

Food, Gluten-Free Living, Trader Joe's ·


Eeeeks, I get so excited when we talk all things Trader Joe’s!

Anyone else?

I always think I’m bringing you guys some delicious and fun finds, but really, by the end of the day, YOU have told me what to buy, my grocery list is a mile long and I’m GIDDY to shop!

When we found out that we were going to start eating gluten-free at home, I was relieved because so many of our favorite things at Trader Joe’s were already g-free (by coincidence!), but since that initial diagnosis, we’ve trimmed just about everything so that now, we only buy their gluten-free goodies. Today, I’m sharing all of our favorite finds that you should try whether you’re eating gluten or not. TRUST ME when I say, I will not tell you to eat something gluten-free if it’s not excellent. I have thrown out more g-free food because it’s just not fabulous. Everything on this list is FANTASTIC and just happens to also be gluten-free.

Happy shopping! xo

Yes, yes, yes, YES! These are little tortilla chip things that have MAJOR flavor! I mean to tell you, THEY’RE DELICIOUS! They’re really not too spicy, they’re just flavorful! They’re fantastic dipped in salsa, hummus or that buffalo chicken dip…but honestly, they’re totally great by themselves too. LOVE!

Yes, yes, yes, YES! In fact, today, I’m sharing a recipe that uses these in it!! Make sure you check out this post

…today too! My Everything Bagel Breakfast Casserole would be delish this weekend!

One thing Trader Joe’s does really well is their dried fruits and nut mixes. We go through these things like candy. We love so many of them including the dried mangoes and bananas too!

These little crispy cookie bites are fantastic alone or crumbled over vanilla ice cream!

Give me all the praise hands! I like to keep nuggets on hand for easy summer or weekend lunches for the kids or anytime they need a really hearty snack (like on Thursdays when K doesn’t get to eat dinner until 7:30, so these are a great snack!). We have not loved so many varieties of nuggets, but these are really delicious…especially if you throw them in the air fryer 🙂 .

Yes, yes, YES!

Okay, this pizza crust is pretty darn good! I like how it gets crispy and doesn’t taste too cauliflower-y.

My kids love this as a snack and also in their lunchboxes!

I just had five of those almonds with coffee as I wrote this post 🙂 .

Oh my word! You will LOVE these little ice cream sandwiches. THEY ARE AMAZING! You will want to go ahead and get two boxes.

Awe! I love these little crisps! They’re just slightly sweet and oh so perfect!

This was one of the many things we were buying pre-Celiac over here. It’s amazing by itself but also on yogurt or ice cream too.

Ohhhhh my goodness!!!! I could eat a bag of these with every meal. YES, YES, YES! Now, they’re very “truffle-y”, so if truffle isn’t your thing, don’t get them…but truffle is FOR SURE my thing, and I am obsessed with these cheesy little bites! They’re excellent “croutons” too 🙂 .

Okay both of these things should be in your cart whether you’re g-free or not…but especially the pancakes. They taste like they just came off the griddle and are my kids’ current go-to breakfast. I’ve been serving them with both pb and Nutella on top and my kids LOVE them!

Have you tried this body oil? It has a nice citrus scent and is super hydrating! After the shower, I’ve been putting it on instead of lotion and not only do I smell nice, my skin feels great too!

This is a great dip or marinade for chicken too!

You’ll find this yummy pasta in the refrigerated section next to the cheeses and tortellini!

This heats up beautifully for Kensington’s lunch!

Okay, this right here might be the best thing they make…

…whether you can eat gluten or not, YOU NEED THESE CUPCAKES IN YOUR LIFE. They also make them…

…mini too!!! These are SO DELICIOUS! We’ve been buying them for K to take to friends’ birthday parties, we had them for Smith’s birthday…they are really so fantastic and gluten-free!

We now keep this in the fridge any time we need mac and cheese in a hurry. This stuff does not have that “gluten-free” taste 😉 .

These are yummy for breakfast!!

I can’t remember when we haven’t used these on our charcuterie board. So delish!

If the air in heaven has a “taste”, it will taste like this. Cheesy, delicious, airy goodness.

Of course, there are a million other things we love at Trader Joe’s too (I didn’t even take a pic of the G-Free Joe-Joe’s!), so if you’ve missed my previous posts where I share other favorite finds (many with or without gluten!), look below…
