Filled with unique and interesting versions of our favorite foods, it’s no wonder that even the Pros are using Trader Joe’s products in their everyday life.

We compiled a list of the top Trader Joe’s products (including those mentioned above) that our Pros use in their everyday lives to help you get the most out of your next trip. 


Groceries 



Chef Sasha Sincic is a huge fan of Trader Joe’s because it’s affordable and has everything she needs as a chef. It’s why most of her recipes feature Trader Joe’s products. When it comes to the basics, Chef Sasha trusts Trader Joe’s Organic Canola Oil Spray to apply a quick, even layer of oil whenever she cooks. The formula is light and actually keeps food from sticking to the pan. Add to that the fact that it uses an air pressure-based system rather than propellants, and you've got a seriously can-do can of Organic Canola Oil Spray on your hands. 


The Canola Oil Cooking spray comes especially handy when Chef Sasha is making her famous Maple Dijon Chicken Tenders and Veggies recipe which features Trader Joe’s Panko Bread Crumbs and Organic Maple Syrup. As a private chef with vegan clients, Chef Sasha prefers Trader Joe’s Panko Bread Crumbs because it has no added dairy – only the necessary ingredients to make delicious, crispy panko. They’re perfect for any home cook who wants to add a little crunch to their next meal. 


To add a little sweetness to her chicken tenders and veggies recipe, Chef Sasha Sincic uses Trader Joe's Organic Maple Syrup. Unlike other maple syrups out there, this one is 100% pure maple without any added sugar or corn syrup. It’s Chef Sasha’s go-to when she’s cooking for kids and those with specific dietary needs. It’s also a very versatile ingredient that she’s able to use for all kinds of recipes whether they’re savory or sweet. It’s a must-have for any kitchen! 


Beauty 



Trader Joe’s isn’t just known for its unique food selection, it’s also a great place to get inexpensive beauty products that actually give you results. You can find everything from retinol serums to shampoo bars made from natural ingredients. 


Esthetician Monika Tarnowski swears by the Trader Joe’s Rose Water Facial Spray. It hydrates and refreshes your skin using the power of real Damask rose water and Damask rose oil. Added ingredients like witch hazel and soapbark help balance, tone, and soften skin. Carry a bottle of Trader Joe’s Rosewater Facial Toner in your purse and mist as you please wherever you are for a hydration boost that smells like a bouquet of roses. And here’s a hot tip: for an extra-cool toning experience, store a bottle in your fridge… and thank us later.


Since 2002, Trader Joe’s Oatmeal Exfoliant Bar has been a customer and employee favorite. It’s a staple in Esthetician Monika Tarnowski’s routine because it’s able to gently exfoliate while simultaneously soothing skin using ingredients like oatmeal and glycerin. The Trader Joe’s Oatmeal Exfoliant Bar has bits of oatmeal that are visible throughout the surface of the soap to provide gentle exfoliation while the pleasant Almond Ginger Scent leaves you feeling (and smelling) like you spent a day at the spa—without the price tag, of course. And like all of Trader Joe's health & beauty products, this French Milled Soap is never tested on animals.


Another Trader Joe’s favorite from the wellness and beauty aisle is their 100% pure jojoba oil. Jojoba oil is a pure and natural plant extract that will penetrate and moisturize your skin without leaving an oily residue. It’s a multi-use product that can be applied to hair, skin, and nails. Use it to remove makeup or even as a carrier oil for essential oils like in Alicia “Ace” Easter’s DIY Essential Oils class. Did you know that jojoba oil is the closest thing to sweat that naturally moisturizes the skin? At this price, you can afford to use it after every wash! Esthetician Monika Tarnowski loves how gentle it is and recommends it for those with dry, sensitive skin. 


Wellness 



Have an active lifestyle? Boost your energy, reduce inflammation, and feel your best with easy shots on the go and at a fraction of the cost. Trader Joe’s Organic Juice Shots can be taken alone or mixed into your favorite smoothie for a boost of energy whenever you need them. You can choose between three flavors: use the ginger shot for an extra boost of energy, or get help with inflammation with turmeric and acerola cherry. Dancer Asiel Hardison loves having these juice shots in his rehearsal bag for a daily boost of wellness on the go. 


If juice shots aren’t for you, you can get great immune support with Trader Joe's Vitamin C Complex. Along with Vitamin C, these supplements contain lemon and rutin Bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids are naturally present in citrus fruits and they work together with vitamin C to make both compounds more effective in the body. Lady Gaga's Dance Captain Asiel Hardison always has a few tablets with him in his rehearsal bag to make sure he's staying healthy. 


Along with his Vitamin C pills, Asiel also makes sure he takes his daily dose of turmeric using Trader Joe’s Turmeric Pills. They’re great for recovery and you can incorporate them into your wellness routine for anti-inflammatory benefits, immune boost, and recovery. Great for taking turmeric on the go. 


Flowers and Plants 



Finish your successful trip to Trader Joe’s with a fresh, bouquet of your favorite flowers. Trader Joe's is constantly updating, upgrading, and upsizing its selection of products – even if the idea is the same from one season to the next, the seasonality of flowers and plants means that you’ll see a revolving selection. Florist Audra Lambie loves getting the flowers she needs to create her floral arrangements from Trader Joe's because they’re always fresh and there’s a variety to choose from. Whether you’re looking for outdoor or indoor plants, there’s something for every room in your home.
