This is in a bag in the frozen section. I can't say this was super exceptional, but it was good and so easy to make, it gets a thumbs up. I threw in some frozen TJs scallops and shrimps, peas, greens, and garbanzos. Throw everything right into the pan and let it cook through. Easy. Ingredients are pretty natural and uses only healthy sunflower and olive oils.

Chocolate Brownie Pure Bar
This pure, raw chocolate bar tastes a lot better than other raw chocolate bars I have tried which end up tasting kinda prune-like. This actually tastes chocolatey. Pure ingredients: Dates, agave necter, rice protein, cashews, cocoa, almonds, walnuts.

Omega-3s, zinc, copper, iron, potassium, protein, healthy carbs..and it tastes good. 7g of healthy fat per bar.

Love the tartness of the cherries with the sweet granola chewiness. I don't have the container anymroe, but I recall the ingredients being fairly healthy and natural because I avoid refined, processed things. A lot of cookies come in the container, it lasted us quite some time.

Garlic Naan Bread
These are pretty good. Obviously not as good as fresh from an Indian restaurant. They are topped with garlic and corriander. I wish they had more garlic though.
I like the simple ingredients and lack of canola oil: Wheat flour, water, garlic, milk, yogurt, sunflower oil, salt.

Also makes a great crust for your own mini pizza or folded around veggies and meat for a "gyro" style snack. Wish they made a whole-wheat/grain naan!

Always have these in the freezer to add to my green smoothies. This week its navel oranges, pineapple, frozen mango, celery, spinach, & coconut water & stevia. Yum!

I always use this in place of vegetable and canola oil for cooking and/or baking when I don't want olive oil or coconut oil taste. Way healthier than the highly refined and rancid vegetable and canola oils. Has a high smoke point and antioxidants.

Brown Rice Medley
Love this blend. Wish it had more barley. I always saute an onion and garlic into it, and then depending on my mood or whats in my pantry add additions from there. I added the dried mixed wild mushrooms from TJs with truffle oil. Divine!

Multigrain Pita Chips
I use these when I serve hummus. Healthier than the refined white flour pita chips. The sesame seeds and whole grains will add more calories, but obviously, these are not empty calories. Way more flavor than the plain while pita chips. Always a hit when I serve them.

Onion and Chive Corn Crackers
These taste like a Frito all done up for a date. The chive and onion give a nice flavor and flax, sesame, and hemp seeds give a nice texture as well as a bit of nutrition like the 2% Vitamin A and calcium, and 4% iron. Sixteen crackers is one serving which is good enough for me as I usually am done after 7 crackers. But then again, I never really liked Fritos, so that is a factor. But its gluten free for those who have gluten intolerances and not a bad little cracker.

Mache
Love this stuff. It's so tender and so cute in your salads. I even throw it in my fruit smoothies to add extra vitamins and minerals. The delicate flavor does not affect the taste of your fruit smoothie at all.
So much vitamin A, B9, iron, etc for such cute, delicate little blossoms of green.

Classic Original Water Crackers
I don't serve brie or St. Andre without water crackers. Mild crackers for a mild cheese. These are a better price than the populat brand ones I get at the market. Although I do often use the whole grain flax ones now, this is a classic.

Frozen Brown Rice
You can't beat this quick and easy frozen rice. It's WAY better than those ready cooked brown rices in the pantry section which come out so dry you have to add water. This comes out perfect and moist. I throw it in my steamer with my veggies. It's unflavored plain rice so you can spice it up or add anything you like to make it come alive. Wish they had frozen brown basmati rice.
One bag is two servings. Three bags per box.

Dark Chocolate Covered Powerberries
These are just okay to me. The little juice pellets/discs inside the chocolate is pretty small. Reminds me a bit of the "jelly-like" or gummy candies (which is hard to find through all of the chocolate. I don't think these are too healthy after all the refining of the power berries until all that is left is reconstituted juice, but it does have a nice tart and tangy flavor over those overly sweet gummy interiors of some other chocolate covered candies with no corn syrup and gelatin either. so that is a good thing. I don't think I would get them again though as I am not a real fan of this type of texture. I prefer an dried berry coated in dark chocolate.

If you like coffe, you will like these. I don't like coffee, but I can eat dark chocolate covered coffee beans since the sweet dark chocolate balances the sharp bean nicely.
byDonnaMarieX, February 3, 2011
I don't usually like pretzels, but you cover them in a good quality dark chocolate and who can resist? I often serve these in a pretty snack dish at gatherings.
byDonnaMarieX, February 3, 2011
You just can't beat this for the price. You ingredient list does not read like a chemical lab and has rosemary oil and lemongrass, etc. No sulfates. My dry, wavy, frizzy hair actually came out nice and soft and shiny. I was leery about trying TJs hair products until I read the positive reviews here, and now it will be a regular shampoo and conditioner for me.

Organic Oats and Flax Instant Oatmeal
I think there is too much sugar in it. At least its evaporated cane juice, but its still so much I can see it all when I pour out the packet in my bowl. I would really like this if it had no sugar so I could sweeten it with stevia or to my own sweetness level. Or at least way less cane sugar. And flax seeds have to be ground to get all the benefits. Flax powder in it would be better.

Turkey Meatballs
If you like really processed meats, you will like these. I made a meatball soup with the bag and friends liked them but they thought they were a meatless product! HAHA! It does have a spongy texture. Too processed for me and there is corn syrup solids in it and I stay away from refined sweeteners.

Roasted Vegetable Pizza
I am really disappointed to see this gone. Good whole grain crust pizzas are hard to and this was nice because it had no cheese. I could eat it dairy free, or add my own raw or dairy free cheese if I wanted. I used to add my own extra veggies or marinara before popping it in the oven. Oh well...

Green Plant Juice
I used to use this in my smoothies. I find it a tad too sweet just on its own with a texture similar to those pasteurized odwalla smoothies. I personally don't care that "slimy" texture because I am used to fresh made raw smoothies. The pasteurization process does take away nutrition, so I make my own green smoothies now with added kale, spinach and a raw greens powder. But its a good start for those who don't want to make a smoothie.
