Keep reading to discover each editor-approved item and find out why it’s a must have for your next Trader Joe’s shopping trip.

“The chocolate croissants are amazing! Sometimes when I’m feeling extra fancy (aka I’m not running late) I brush the top of each one with a little egg wash before I put them in the oven so they come out golden brown and a little crispy.” — Kelsey Kennick, assistant editor, POPSUGAR voices

“Frozen chocolate croissants!!! They make the perfect weekend treat. You take them out and put them on a pan the night before and they rise up overnight. They are chocolate, flaky, and yummy!!” — Tara Block, content director

2. Smoked Salmon Bacon ($5)

"I was so intrigued by this smoked salmon bacon the first time I saw it, and I had to have it. I'm so glad it ended up being delicious because it's become a favorite breakfast staple to pair with scrambled eggs. Protein-packed and way less fatty than regular bacon, this is perfect when you brown it on both sides in a skillet. It's almost like salmon jerky, and I'm into it." — EC

3. Maple Pecan Clusters ($4)

“I love the hash browns. My sister and I make them every time we cook brunch together!” — Samantha Netkin, assistant editor, native

6. Organic Multigrain Hot Cereal ($3)

“This has a great mix of texture since it isn’t just oats! I mix in a few chia seeds, walnuts, and a little fruit for my go-to weekday breakfast.” — Lauren Hendrickson, product manager

7. Crunchy Almond Butter ($7)

“Proud to admit I’m addicted. When I’m not eating avocado toast, I smear this on my bread with a little strawberry jam and a sprinkle of cinnamon.” — JS
