Does Trader Joe's Sell Vegan Snacks?
It may not come as a surprise given the title of this story, but yes, Trader Joe's sells vegan snacks, entrees, desserts, and more! In fact, according to the Trader Joe's website, they currently have nearly 100 products that they classify as vegan. This count can fluctuate over time as the store constantly adds and removes foods from its shelves, but as of writing this staggering number of vegan snacks should be good news to any vegans out there.
Let's get started with our list of the very best vegan snacks you can find at Trader Joe's!

We're starting off the list with a classic vegan favorite: the Vegan Chocolate Mini Cones at Trader Joe's! These bite-sized vegan ice cream cones are made with non-dairy frozen coconut milk and vegan chocolate so everyone can enjoy them, and everyone will -- including those who don't normally reach for vegan desserts!
These Trader Joe's Vegetable Bird's Nests are a fun treat for kids and adults alike, made from shredded onions, carrots, and kale that has been fried in tempura batter. They're so easy to heat, and delicious when combined with Asian flavors such as dipping in soy sauce or a sweet chili sauce.
Our first thought when we see vegan pepperoni is to add it to our favorite vegan pizzas, but we were pleasantly surprised by some of the other ideas that Trader Joe's recommends it for... such as antipasto salads, adding to sandwiches, or of course snacking right out of the bag. It's packed with pepperoni flavor, but 100% vegan.
Made from a traditional recipe by a Trader Joe's supplier, these little flatbread crisps are excellent when paired with sweet mango chutney and mint sauce. They're light, airy crisps that are made from a dough derived from lentils and chickpeas and seasoned lightly with cumin and salt.

Bursting with citrus and mango flavor, this tangy and refreshing sorbet is something you're going to want to keep at the ready in your freezer all summer long. Trader Joe's says that supply is limited and that they'll only make this one available for a limited time, but we're hoping that they'll bring it back if we keep buying it up!
Smoky, savory, and ready for a variety of uses... this almond chipotle dip is hugely popular and 100% vegan. Made with a variety of spices including chipotle pepper powder, smoked paprika, garlic, and tamari, it's ready for dipping by crackers of vegetables, or absolutely amazing spread on sandwiches.
Bolognese sauce is one of those things that is traditionally very meat-centric, so we were happy to see Trader Joe's add this vegan Italian Bolognese Ravioli to their shelves as an alternative for anyone to enjoy! We recommend cooking these al dente and then tossing them in your favorite vegan sauce.
The only thing better than Trader Joe's Oat Chocolate Bars is... three Oat Chocolate Bars from Trader Joe's? In 2022 Trader Joe's started selling their beloved Oat Chocolate Bars in three-packs, and you get a bit of a savings for buying them this way. You might not know that this is vegan if you weren't aware, since the chocolate base is smooth and creamy like milk chocolate, but vegan and made without milk.

A Trader Joe's favorite, these this and crispy cookies are also vegan! We love these cinnamon-flavored cookies on their own, but they're even better when eated with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Or, dunk them in a non-dairy beverage like almond milk for a sweet treat.
Spring rolls need no introduction, and these vegetable spring rolls from Trader Joe's are a household favorite for thousands of families across the country. They're a great appetizer or an after school or work snack, and even better when dipped in a sweet chili sauce. Thanks to this frozen offering from Trader Joe's you're always just a few minutes away from hot spring rolls.
The foods you'll want to add this garlic spread dip to are endless. We have to agree with all the ways Trader Joe's suggests we use it: use it as a dip for french fries, baste it over a roasting chicken, spread it on hamburger or hotdog buns, add a dollop to pasta sauce, or simply dip your favorite crackers and vegetables directly in. For garlic fans, this packs big garlic flavor!
Bulgogi is one of those dishes that are usually meat-centric, and it's near impossible to find a decent vegan version. That's why we were excited to learn that Trader Joe's was introducing a vegan, "beefless" bulgogi. Made with 100% beefless, textured soy protein and marinated in a traditional mix of soy sauce, pear puree, garlic, ginger, green onions, and sugar, this is great on its own or even better with the addition of vegan kimchi and rice.

This tofu soaks up all the spicy sriracha goodness from the marinade and delivers a big burst of flavor in every bite. We've made our own marinated tofu before, but this is so much easier and ready to serve, or can be heated and added to a variety of other Trader Joe's favorites such as fried rice or pad thai. We won't judge if you add more sriracha on top.
Soft cookie fans, raise your hand! This soft-baked sunflower butter cookie is for you, and will bring you happiness from the moment you see the bright and cheery sunflowers on the box. Not only are these cookies vegan, they're also gluten-free and kosher, so they'll please a crowd. Not to sweet, and just subtly savory, these cookies are one or two bites each.
This popcorn is so good, we'll admit that we've eaten an entire bag in one sitting at least once... The supplier who makes this sweet treat for Trader Joe's starts with their classic, puffy popcorn and drizzles it in caramel and peanut butter coating for the ultimate crave-worthy snack. The sweetness from the caramel and the light saltiness of the peanut butter make for a perfect match.
16. Tteok Bok Ki
Pronounced "tuk-bow-kee," this savory and satisfying rice cake dish is made with bite-sized rice cakes and a fiery gochujang-inspired sauce. These little rice cakes are big on flavor thanks to the gochujang, and are bold enough to stand on their own as a snack or can be part of a full meal when accompanied by tofu or other centerpiece items. Keep these in the freezer for an easy meal whenever you're craving them.

Banana bread fans will be thrilled to know that Trader Joe's makes an excellent vegan banana bread! Cut a slice and enjoy as is, or for an extra treat, warm the bread in an over and lightly spread a vegan buttery spread over top. Trader Joe's also recommends spreading a slice with almond butter, which we haven't tried personally, but bet that it would be equally amazing.
This satisfying enchilada casserole is made from layers upon layers of corn tortillas mixed with roasted vegetables and a slightly-spicy red chile sauce, topped with shredded vegan cheese. It's packed with vegetables, including poblano peppers, onions, yams, and zucchini, all roasted to bring out their natural flavors. Easy to heat and serve!
The Trader Joe's Vegan Caramelized Onion Dip is packed full of savory and slightly sweet caramelized onion flavor, enhanced with a light addition of balsamic vinegar to really bring out the natural sweetness of onions. Similar to other Trader Joe's dips, this one is made vegan by using a plant-based, dairy-free cream cheese as its base. Of course this is amazing when dipping crackers, vegetables, breads, and more... but try it as a spread on sandwiches for an extra treat!
Another amazing plant-based dip! Tzatziki is a classic sauce for Mediterranean cuisine so of course you'll want to spread this on falafel or in Greek wraps and bowls. The dip's base is a plant-based, dairy-free cream cheese with lemon juice, cucumber, fresh dill, and garlic. Also makes for an amazing vegetable or cracker dip!

The original Trader Joe's Pad Thai has been a customer favorite for more than ten years, so of course they introduced a version that let vegans share the deliciousness. This recipe is made for Trader Joe's by a Thailand supplier making this authentic recipe packed with rice noodles, tofu, and green onions. Heat in the microwave or on stovetop, and customize with additional tofu or other toppings to meet your liking.
Gluten free? Check. Kosher? Check. Vegan? Check! How did they make this granola vegan and grainless? It's a cluster-packed collection of almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and dried coconut, with an added splash of coconut sugar and tapioca syrup. Delicious by the handful or mixed into vegan yogurt or vegan milk alternatives.
23. Soy Chorizo
We were pleasantly surprised how authentic this recipe was! Made for Trader Joe's by a small company that specializes in chorizo, it's packed with the big flavor and seasonings you'd expect of chorizo including paprika, sea salt, vinegar, red pepper, and garlic powder. Made from soy protein, which has no cholesteral and 60% less fat than traditional chorizo.
Of course this Vegan Caesar Dressing is going to help you make a great Caesar salad, but what about all the other uses? Try it as a dip, or spread it on a sandwich for a savory and rich flavor boost. This dressing is made of plant-based ingredients including tofu, capers, mustard, and miso to create that signature creamy and peppery Caesar dressing flavor.

25. ABC Bars
ABC Bars have a huge fan base, and it's understandable why: they're easy to eat, packed with big flavor, and a great chewy texture. They're called ABC because they are made of almond butter and cocoa, along with some other natural flavors. They're sweet and salty, and the perfect snack.
The classic Trader Joe's Mandarin Orange Chicken has a huge cult-like following, so why can't vegans have in on some of the fun too? The Chicken-less Mandarin Orange Morsels pack big orange chicken flavor in little bites, and are just as easy to prepare as the original. Honestly, if you didn't know this wasn't chicken, you might think it was the real thing!
Trader Joe's vegetable fried rice is the perfect dinner shortcut to keep in your freezer, ready for dinner in just about five minutes. Packed with vegetables including carrots, edamame, green peas, bell pepper, leeks, and corn, just reheat in the microwave or stovetop. It's flavored with soy sauce, rice wine, and a few other flavors. Serve with the tofu from earlier on this list for a full meal!
Keep these stocked in your freezer at all times for an on-demand frozen, vegan treat! These ice cream sandwiches are filled with oat non-dairy ice cream, lightly flavored with vanilla for a subtle sweetness and big-time craving satisying power. Kids will love them too!

Completely dairy-free, this yogurt is made from crushed organic cashews mixed with filtered water and a small amount of coconut cream for a smooth and rich texture. Like real yogurt, however, it's packed with probiotics! This is the plain unsweetened flavor, however Trader Joe's also offers this in smaller containers with various flavors.
A vegan Trader Joe's classic! This dressing is perfect for salads of course, but you'll also find a use for it dipping raw vegetable or even drizzled over roasted vegetables. Made with Hass avocados, green onions, garlic, apple cider vinegar, basil, and chives.
