Vegan Grand Rapids Review

Trader Joe’s is a chain of specialty grocery stores in the US.  They carry many unique items, with much of the inventory changing all year round to feature different themes, such as mangoes in the spring, pumpkin in the fall, etc… Many of Trader Joe’s items are incredibly affordable, and they carry a large variety of vegan items making this a favorite of many.

There is a decent sized produce section with a large variety of fruits and vegetables. See the demo sign in the back of the store? More often than not there's a product demo happening. Be sure to look to see if they're spotlighting a new vegan product! There's free coffee back there as well. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
Trader Joe's Grand Rapids is our go to spot for nuts. They have a huge variety and prices you won't find anywhere else. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
What kind of nut are you nuts for? https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
This is one of our guilty pleasures. And great to take to parties too. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
There is a good selection of candy at Trader Joe's. Not all of it is vegan but it is worth it to stop and look. These fruit jellies are safe! https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
Trader Joe's Grand Rapids carries two flavors of coconut milk based yogurts. Blueberry and vanilla. These are the best non-dairy yogurts we've tried. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
During the holidays, Trader Joe's carries some really fun items that have a limited run like this nog flavored yogurt for Christmas. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
Trader Joe's is currently carrying two products from Miyoko's, this cream cheese and the butter spread. Both are excellent. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
We're not big fans of this, but others really like it. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
There's a few types of non-dairy creamer at TJs. This one is soy based. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
Coconut creamer from Trader Joe's https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
They're vegan but they aren't healthy. Do you care? We don't. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
This butter from Miyoko's can be used as sub in any recipe. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
Trader Joe's carries just two kinds of butter from Earth Balance, seen here. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
There is a good supply of non-dairy milks both in the refrigerated section and shelf stable. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
Soy, almond, rice, coconut milk. Trader Joe's has them all. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
If you're soy-free, this coconut beverage from Trader Joe's Grand Rapids is a great substitute for dairy. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
Sometimes Trader Joe's Grand Rapids is really good at calling out vegan groceries, so be sure to look at signs. You may save yourself time reading. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
Can vouch for this. A++ https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
A seasonal item. Vegan sugar cookies for the holiday. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
This is a staple in our household. We like to slice them up and put them on salads. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
It's hard to explain the flavor of this veggie burger. It's something you'll just have to try for yourself. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
Not all of Trader Joe's veggie burgers are vegan. These both are. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
We would argue that these burgers aren't very Thai. Nonetheless, they are still delicious. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
These are in the frozen food section. They also sell zucchini spirals that are cut off in the photo. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
This is one really good vegan mayo. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
You can almost always find a bag or two of these in our freezer. We don't just eat them as meatballs. Sometimes we smash them up for crumbles or mash them into patties. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
Be cautious of bagged vegetables. Many items you think would be vegan are not (like the mashed caulipots). Thankfully these are and make a good quick and healthy meal. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
This is a good party dip or sandwich spread. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/

Anyone tried this yet? It's a recent addition that we've not purchased yet. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
These just hit the shelves and we're excited to try them soon. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
Vegetable Bird's Nests from Trader Joe's Grand Rapids are a good side with any Asian inspired meal. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
These samosas are good for parties. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
These are a new product that we're hooked on! They don't taste much like crab cakes, but they have a good flavor we're into. Protip: extend the baking time at least 10 minutes or they come out mushy. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
Falafel at home anytime. https://www.vegangr.com/the-guide/1768/trader-joes/
