Grab some frozen brown rice
"I always I pick up pre-cooked brown rice in the frozen aisle," Moon says. She likes the fact that they come in separate pouches, so you only make what you need per meal.

Add some zhoug sauce to your shopping list
"This is a delicious new product, and it's bright and fresh from cilantro and spicy from jalapenos and red chile flakes," says Moon. "It goes great on top of fish and chicken, and in sandwiches and tacos."

You've gotta try the cauliflower gnocchi
"The best fix to my carb cravings — these cauliflower dumplings are way healthier than their typical potato form," says registered dietitian Jennifer Kanikula, RD. Plus, as she points out, they make for a great side or can be loaded up for a full entrée.

Switch to whole wheat pizza dough
"Homemade pizza is really only as good as the crust," says Kanikula. "I've found that Trader Joe's pizza dough makes the best homemade pizzas." She also points out that "whole grains never tasted so good."

Munch on some dark chocolate crisps
"Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Crisps are like a roll of Pringles except they're just chocolate," Kanikula explains. "I'm not sure what makes them so satisfying — maybe it's the shape, the bits of hidden crunch, or the flavor, but you only need about one or two crisps to get your chocolate fix."
