But first, dessert…

Hold the Dairy! Mini Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Cones

These mini Trader Joe’s vegan ice cream cones are the family favorite frozen plant-based dessert at Trader Joe’s. They HIT THE SPOT when craving an ice cream cone…I dare you to eat just one;)!

Check out the brand new Salted Caramel flavor…more sweet than savory, and totally addictive (my kids are OBSESSED!).

In fact, they are so good, they are also included in the Best Trader Joe’s Vegan Food!

NEW! Strawberry Lemonade Ice Bars

These new Strawberry Lemonade Ice Bars are the perfect balance of sweet and tart! My kids and my new favorite afternoon treat!

Note: these bars are not gluten free.

NEW! Vanilla Bean Oat Milk Ice Cream

This new non-dairy oat frozen dessert flavor is an excellent vegan vanilla ice cream option. Rich and creamy with vanilla bean specs, it will make the perfect topping to any pie or cake, or sandwich a scoop in between two of those vegan chocolate chip cookies below!

Instant Boba Kit

Boba tea lovers, this kit is a must-try! The boba mix comes frozen with a paper boba straw (of course!). Simply warm the mix and then combine with your favorite plant milk for a tasty treat! This is my kids’ current favorite dessert!

Cinnamon Bun Inspired Joe-Joe’s (seasonal item)

The newest Joe Joe’s on the block does not disappoint! Cinnamon-y on the outside, creamy on the inside, mild, and totally satisfying! Kids gave them a 10/10!

Very Chocolatey Vegan Ice Cream w/ Fudge Brownies (seasonal item)

This decadent dessert recently hit the shelves and I am SO grateful for my daughters’ watchful eye over the frozen dessert section every visit! Rich, velvety, and oh so chocolatey…chocolate lovers may just wanna stock up!

Clearly this one makes the overall Best Trader Joe’s Vegan Food list as well!

Peanut Butter Caramel Coated Popcorn

Guys, this one is dangerous. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet, it appears that adults actually have a harder time only taking one handful;). Whatever you do, DO NOT open alone.

Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with coconut are the only store bought cookies we buy regularly as they are consistently soft, slightly chewy, and not crumbly. And those little coconut flakes make them just so delicious. They are our go-to road trip dessert as they travel well too.

These cookies are so top notch that they are also included in the Best Trader Joe’s Vegan Food!

Oat Milk Ice Cream Sandwiches

If these aren’t nostalgic, I don’t know what is. This Trader Joe’s dairy free ice cream sandwich tastes like childhood. I dare you to trick someone with one!

Oat Chocolate Bars

These new “milk chocolate bars” are a win! Finally, a vegan option for milk chocolate that is accessible and easy to find. And the mini size is a perfect portion. And don’t miss the newer crispy rice version.

Cold Crew Coffee/Tea and Boba Frozen Dessert

Attention coffee ice cream lovers!!! This one’s for you!

First, the coffee flavor of this coconut milk ice cream is DELICIOUS- strong coffee flavor, perfect sweetness, not an obvious coconut flavor. Second, the boba (tapioca pearls) are a delightful mild & chewy surprise in every bite.

And sweet tea lovers…this is surprisingly delightful too.

Vegan Bon Bons: Trader Joe’s Vegan Desserts that are worth it!

Trader Joe’s bon bons are all the rage these days! At nearly every backyard gathering, someone brings a few boxes of these delicious bites to share. Adored by herbivores and omnivores alike, vegan bon bons are always a crowd-pleaser.

Trader Joe’s sometimes carries mint flavor too, be on the lookout!

Trader Joe’s Acai Bowls

For a healthy Trader Joe’s dessert, try the acai bowls! This guilt-free vegan and gluten free dessert is an item that your Trader Joe’s kids may love too!

Fruit Frenzy Bars

These striped bars have been a summer favorite for years! The perfect balance of sweet and tart, they made kids and adults smile.

Vegan Banana Bread with Walnuts

Call it dessert for breakfast, a sweet snack, or dessert. Whatever you call it, this banana bread is worth the calories – try it with a schmear of vegan cream cheese on top for the ultimate bite!

Dark Chocolate, Nuts, and Sea Salt Bars

These tasty bars are a better version of Kind Bars IMO…chewier and gooier! We love them as a snack or dessert – try cutting into chunks and serving over the vanilla nice cream below!

These bars often come in a box of 5, and are usually available as single bars too. TJ’s offer three nut combo versions- our fav is the the peanut, almond, and walnut.

Fruity Chews

Vegan Starburst?! That’s right, this chewy treat tastes very similar to the popular nostalgic candy, but with natural ingredients and flavors…and without the red dye and gelatin! ENJOY!
