Breakfast: the most necessary and perhaps the most stressful meal of the day for parents. Between getting ready for the day and getting out the door on time, breaking the fast can sometimes take a back seat. Luckily, Trader Joe’s not only makes this morning meal a breeze, but they also offer some of the tastiest products. Keep reading to see some of Trader Joe’s best breakfast items.
Chocolate Croissants
We can’t all walk the streets of Paris with a freshly made croissant in our hands. That’s where Trader Joe’s chocolate croissants come into play. Just pop these frozen pastries onto a cookie sheet to rise overnight, then bake for 20-25 minutes. You will be utterly shocked at how flaky and delicious these store-bought frozen croissants actually are.
Egg Bites
Starbucks may have put Egg Bites on the map, but Trader Joe’s is keeping this on-the-go breakfast in regular reach. Made with egg whites, this gluten-free morning meal packs protein and pairs well with salsa or even between an English muffin for an easy breakfast sandwich.
Whole Grain Waffles
Frozen waffles are a go-to breakfast for busy mornings, so swap out the standard Eggo for this whole-grain version from Trader Joe’s. Top them with peanut butter, or go savory and sweet by topping them with another great Trader Joe’s breakfast item, the Chicken Breakfast Sausage Patty, and maple syrup.
Crustless Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jam Sandwiches
Okay, here us out on this one. While this is a lunchbox classic you should have in your freezer anyway, in a pinch, these preservative-free crustless PG&J sandwiches are also a perfect breakfast on the go.
Pumpkin Brioche Twist
This Trader Joe’s breakfast option is the perfect mix of soft brioche bread and pumpkin spice. Top it with cream cheese, butter, or just eat it plain, but any way you do it, you’ll get your seasonal pumpkin fix.
Açaí Bowl
An entire, healthy meal awaits with Trader Joe’s organic Açaí bowls. Found in the freezer aisle, they come fully stocked with strawberries, blueberries, bananas, granola, and dried coconut chips. These are great for busy parents trying to eat healthy and kids who aren’t afraid of indulging in a ton of fruit.
Eggwich Breadless Breakfast
Gluten and bread-free, these eggwich sandwiches really pack in the protein. Each box comes with two eggwiches and is made with American cheese and turkey sausage. They are perfect for busy mornings and can be eaten in the car on the way to school or work.
Egg Frittata
Baking a full-size frittata takes time—and a cast-iron skillet. If you’re in the mood for quicker fare, grab a box of frozen frittatas next time you’re at Trader Joe’s. They’re made with cauliflower and Swiss cheese, and heat up in a jiffy, making them perfect for busy mornings.
Bubble Waffles
This popular Hong Kong street food snack can be a great quick breakfast, too! The perfect balance of sweet and savory, you can heat them in the air fryer, oven, or toaster, and they can be topped with everything from fruit to eggs and cheese.
Overnight Oats
Everyone knows the benefits of oatmeal, but it can be hard to get your act together and cook up a batch in the early morning. That’s why Trader Joe’s almond butter, chia, and vanilla overnight oats are a hit. Each pack is $1.99 and provides an ample portion that you can customize with your own toppings. The carton makes it easy to just grab a spoon and eat on the run.
