Do you mean healthy foods for weight loss? They don't carry Weight Watchers. They have their own brand.

They don't currently have their meringue cookies but an email I shirred me that eventually they will be back. They are great for satisfying a sweet tooth with very few calories! I can hardly wait till they're back

I haven't calculated it with the new SmartPoints, but I liked their chicken cilantro mini wontons. They were very low in the prior point type. I liked to make them when I made some other Chinese dish, because they're so much lower in points than an egg roll or crab rangoon. They are also good for a quick snack if you do the microwave method.

I am a Weight Watchers member. I saw this link on my FB feed today. I don't think they are affiliated with Weight Watchers, so you may want to double check the SmartPoints. Most of the food I buy at Trader Joe's show up in the WW app barcode scanner. I was really excited to finally find the frozen riced cauliflower at TJ's. There was a lot of talk at my meetings about substituting it for rice in dishes like fried rice. Good luck on you weight loss journey.

They have frozen grilled chicken strips, which are great on salads, burritos... I like their lite kettle corn which is 4 sp a bag. I love their fresh salsas and use them for fish tacos. I like their battered halibut. Beef jerky is 2 sp an ounce and their's is very moist. I like their roasted tomato red pepper soup (comes in a box). They have frozen mushroom chicken which is low points. I like their orange chicken and place it on a salad using their fat free sesame soy ginger vinaigrette along with carrots, cucumbers, red peppers and green onions. That salad is my low calorie version of the Thai chicken salad at Elephant Bar. Dark chocolate covered marshmallows are 2 sp each.
If you go to the Weight Watchers site and search trader joe's you will see lots of entries for their various products.

When you go to Trader Joe's and it's your first time, be sure to go slowly and look around. Make a few laps. It's a small store but it's crammed with goodies. Go slowly and take your time to see it all!

They have the riced cauliflower in the refrigerated veggie section now! I just bought some yesterday and used it for yesterday's dinner. I was making egg roll in a bowl (a new recipe for me) and I had been planning to serve it over some brown rice, but I saw the cauliflower and used that instead. I sauteed it in just a bit of oil on the stove. I actually got a thumbs up from both dh and dd. I had been wanting to try making riced cauliflower myself, but I am positive I'd make a huge mess. I also really like the sprouted wheat bread. I also love the roasted red peppers in a jar. I have some of that on sprouted wheat with a wedge of Laughing Cow spread on it, and some leaf lettuce. It's my favorite sandwich.

I really like their Haricots Verte. They're as good as fresh without having to have the ends chopped off.

I really like their frozen fish. Today they have a new salsa verde that the sales associate told me was even better than their usual salsa. Their non-fat Greek Yogurt is delicious. So many great things, I do all our shopping between Trader Joes and Sprouts.

Thanks for all the replies. I will go around a few times for sure. I watched the videos and made a list so I don't miss things. I am especially interested in any low point deserts. I am at the end of my weight loss journey But will always have a sweet tooth.

If you like spicy stuff their Kung Pao chicken(freezer section) is very good. 1 Cup is 6SP. I put it over lettuce instead of rice and I can have a filling meal for low points.
Someone already mentioned the riced cauliflower - it's good.
They have bags of bell peppers (frozen). I keep a couple bags of those on hand to make easy chicken fajitas.
Chicken fried rice (frozen) is good and fast to make.
We live an hour away so almost everything we get from there is frozen.
They also have really good cheese but since I started WW I haven't gotten any...but it's soooooo good.
