Trader Joe’s could be considered the holy grail of grocery stores for us here at The Everygirl. We all love it, and we’re always trying to find the newest and best products to share with the world. In my opinion, breakfast is the hardest meal to prepare something hearty and fulfilling for — after all, we’re busy ladies with minimal time in the morning to cook breakfast between making ourselves look presentable and running out the door. So today, we’re sharing the best quick TJ’s breakfast items so you’ll never want to skip the most important meal of the day again.
These pumpkin waffles don’t have a lot of pumpkin flavor so you have to add some fall flavors on top. Directions: -Melt butter or coconut oil in a pan and sauté apples for about 10 minutes (depending on how soft you like your apples). -Sprinkle TJ’s Pumpkin Pie Spice and a little salt on the apples. -Top TJ’s pumpkin waffles with sautéd apples and enjoy!
1. Waffles
TJ’s has tons of delicious toaster waffle options — including gluten-free, blueberry (my favorite), and thick and fluffy Belgian.
🧀 ($4.99 for 4). They taste just like the same quality you'd get at a hipster bakery 
🥖🥐
… Warning they are slightly on the salty side which I like 
Just bake it for 15 mins at 400 degrees… You can really taste the buttery goodness and also pair perfectly with some eggs 
2. Ready to Bake Croissants
Sweet or salty? You can get either, or both, with the chocolate croissant or the ham and cheese croissant. Preheat and throw one in the oven first thing when you wake up so you can grab it on your way out the door.
3. Hashbrowns
Trader Joe’s hash browns, both the shredded and patty styles, are a staple of their breakfast selection. Or for the #ketoszn version, try the cauliflower pancakes instead. It’s the best way to top off any breakfast plate.
Recipe: – combine in a blender: strawberries, blueberries, soy milk, chia seeds, 1/4 of an avocado (adds creaminess and thickens the smoothie), protein powder (I use @doterra vanilla protein powder). – top with strawberries, coconut flakes, coconut chips, chia seeds, and peanut butter granola. * I don’t really measure anything for this bowl…I kind of just eye everything and hope for the best!
4. Granola
TJ’s has so many awesome granola flavors as well! The possibilities are endless: use it to top your yogurt, oatmeal, or smoothie bowl, add almond milk and enjoy it cereal-style, throw it into or on top of some pancakes, etc.
5. Oatmeal
There are tons of oatmeal options at Trader Joe’s, including frozen steel-cut, grab and go cups, and instant packets. This is my favorite quick breakfast, especially in the winter.

6. Yogurt
Again — so many options! Everything from 99-cent Greek yogurt in lots of flavors to dairy-free alternatives like cashew yogurt.
7. Everything But The Bagel Seasoning
You know it, you love it. The seasoning of all seasonings. It’s best during breakfast time on avocado toast, eggs, or just about anything else.
• I topped these Norwegian Crispbread Crackers with a tiny avocado and Everything But The Bagel Seasoning. I can’t say that these crisp breads are my favorite crackers from TJ’s but they’re good for an easy snack. • #traderjoes #traderjoeskitchen #traderjoeslist #traderjoeshaul #traderjoesfinds #traderjoeslove #avo #avocado #avocadotoast #avocadolove #avocadolover #crispbread #everythingbagel #everythingbagelseasoning #everythingbutthebagel #snack #easysnack #healthysnacks #healthysnacking #snackhealthy #snackideas
8. Teeny Tiny Avocados
The perfectly portioned (and cutest) solution for the aforementioned avocado toast, or just about any other way to enjoy avocado so you don’t have to worry about the other half going bad.
I’m heading back to TJ’s this week to pick up a few more boxes.
9. Frittatas and quiches
Another quick, easy, and delicious option that you can throw in the oven while you get ready in the morning, for those days when you’re feeling a little fancy.
Needless to say, these grab-and-go versions from #traderjoes don’t compare, but they’ll hold you over at work or school if you’re desperate! They’re quite hefty. One burrito is 2 serving sizes. • My s/o brought his Pollo Asado to work and I had my Carnitas at home. I added butter to a pan and lightly browned both sides of my burrito to give it some color and texture. You definitely have to doctor these up with your fave toppings like salsa, sour cream, hot sauce, taco sauce, lime, etc. Their descriptions make them sound flavorful, but he and I both agree that it’s mainly mushy black beans. 🤷
♀️ Have you tried or would you try these?
10. Breakfast burritos
The true definition of a grab and go breakfast: a burrito. The chicken sausage breakfast burrito is perfectly handheld for optimal in-commute eating, but truly any flavor will do.
11. Frozen roasted potatoes with pepper and onions
Preparing delicious breakfast potatoes can be a huge task, especially for a weekday morning. These take all the hassle out, so you can enjoy them topped with an egg or two, creating the most delightful breakfast bowl — or throw in some meat-of-choice for an at-home skillet like this one.
Which of these items are you adding to your cart on your next Trader Joe’s run? Did we miss any breakfast staples?
