 Welcome back to my channel and welcome if you're new here My name is Jen and I am a certified weight loss and nutrition coach And I am currently on the my ww or the Weight Watchers blue plan today. I have the first Dun-dun-dun haul of pumpkin everything from Trader Joe's for 2020 I got so excited when I walked into Trader Joe's today just to pick up my usual grocery items And I saw that they have a ton of pumpkin things some new things from last year Some repeat items that I purchased last year that I've tried in the past But they have so much pumpkin already. It made me so incredibly excited It made my heart so happy in fact so happy that today I am wearing my fall shirt my first fall shirt of the season peace love and pumpkin spice So I am ready for fall. I'm ready for pumpkin everything I will be doing some additional pumpkin hauls from Trader Joe's as they get in more items But I'm seriously so excited for today's video and we're gonna do it a little bit differently I am going to taste test some items some items that I've never tried before even some things that I have last year to See if they are as good as they were last year. So there's a few items in today's haul that I want to taste test Yeah, I'm so excited. So let's jump into all things pumpkin from Trader Joe's So much fun shopping for pumpkin things today Now there were a few items that I did not pick up just because they were things that maybe I wouldn't eat or Things that maybe I'd like to get later down the road as it gets closer to Halloween and Thanksgiving So what I'm going to do for the items that I didn't purchase But are still available and may be perfect for you at Trader Joe's that are all things fall in pumpkin I'll just go ahead and insert some pictures here and tell you a little bit about those items It will go over pricing so you kind of know what to expect when you walk into the store. So let's jump in So first I want to start with pumpkin bagels these smell So good you guys they smell so spicy and pumpkin-y. I'm so excited about these I actually did not buy these at all last year. So I am pretty darn excited to give these babies a try this year They are 240 calories per bagel I am going to go ahead and put points here on the screen for you guys So I'm excited for these toys excited for these and there is something I'm going to show you next that I picked up That is going to pair perfectly with these pumpkin bagels. So I can't wait for these This was one of my all-time favorite items last year. This is the Trader Joe's pumpkin cream cheese This is so good you guys. This is so good on toast. This is so good by the spoonful This is so good and I thought how yummy would this be on these bagels? So I'm excited for this This is going to be something that I'm going to repeatedly purchase throughout the season Because I really truly love it and I'd like to have one or two on hand before they go out of season because It's incredibly delicious. Seriously the best flavored cream cheese ever Next is this pumpkin butter. I also bought this last year and I remember this being really really delicious I have this on toast and bagels again would be really good on the pumpkin bagels But I want to try this for you because I want to make sure that this still lives up to the hype that it had last year So this is what it looks like. It reminds me a lot of like apple butter Like the consistency and texture of apple butter and I remember that from last year I'm excited you guys to try this. I hope it's as good as it was last year cheers That is so good. Okay. It's as good as it was last year. So when I eat it I definitely get Spicy it is sweet. It actually to be honest. It reminds me a lot of apple butter with pumpkin spice That's what it reminds me of it's really really delicious This is something that I like to keep on hand too. Again, you could dip apples in this that would be amazing toast bagels Yum. So this is a new item this year at Trader Joe's and this is their pumpkin Smoothie. So I bought this I bought everything at Trader Joe's didn't pay attention to points calories ingredients None of that because I was just on the hunt for all things pumpkin. So when I got in the car, I looked at this calorie wise It's not bad. It's 130 calories for half of the bottle or 270 calories for the entire bottle But it has carrageenan, which is an ingredient that I don't eat However, I want to try this because it does have 11 grams of protein per Serving so there's 22 grams of protein in this bottle So if you're not concerned about carrageenan and you love pumpkin This may be a really good protein option for you. I bet this would be delicious in protein coffee. So let's give it a try So it smells It doesn't really smell very pumpkin-y. So I'm hoping that it tastes a little more pumpkin-y than it smells. So Let's try it. Cheers No, I don't like it To me, it does not taste pumpkin-y at all. What I taste is like milky It tastes milky with like the slightest hit of pumpkin. I don't like this. I would not buy this again I do encourage you to try it. We all have different taste buds. So you may actually really enjoy this But this is not for me. Next I went ahead and picked up the pumpkin bread mix We actually had this last year and loved it Troy asked me for this when I told him I was going to be Picking up my first haul of pumpkin from Trader Joe's. This bread is delicious. It's actually really easy to make It's the mix two eggs half a cup of vegetable oil and water So what I would do is sub out the vegetable oil for unsweetened applesauce It's going to lower the calories and points and fat in this a lot But this pumpkin bread is really good. So if you just want something quick and easy It would be great with bacon or eggs for breakfast Definitely pick this up. We loved this last year. Next up are the pumpkin o's We also got these last year and really really enjoyed these These are actually really really good and you get a lot of them for the points and the calories You actually get one and one third cup for 150 calories and the points here on the screen I honestly don't even remember what these taste like. So let's try them again. See if they're as good as they were last year So here is what they look like. So they basically look like a cheerio Now they are coated with the pumpkin whatever that they're coated with So I remember them being kind of sweet. So let's try them These are delicious. I mean, I honestly could just eat these on their own They're really good. They are sweet. They're pumpkin-y Yes, yes, yes. Now, this is a new item. I actually don't remember seeing this last year. This is the fall harvest salsa I wish it was organic, but it's not it says that it's an autumn blend of fruits veggies including pumpkin apples and butternut squash. So I'm going to try this Now they did have these and I bought these last year But they had two different chips that would be really good dipped in here One of them is the fall leaf tortilla chips. I actually bought these last year. They're really really delicious We had these on Thanksgiving that would pair really well with this salsa They also had a pumpkin tortilla chip, which I also bought last year and I remember being really really good So either one of those would be really good with this salsa, but let's just give it a shot Let's give it a try. It is 10 calories per serving When I smell it It smells like chili. That's like homemade chili. That's what the salsa smells like. So Cheers Really really good, but whoo it has a kick. So if you are sensitive to spicy, this does have a bit of a kick But it's really good. It doesn't taste like chili. It's actually a little bit sweet. I taste I taste sweet. I taste tomato. It's really really delicious. Oh, I'm excited for this This would be really good on eggs as well This is another new item that I don't remember seeing last year and this is the trader joe's protein maple Muffin, so this reminds me of the kodiak I think kodiak and birch benders make these little like to go cups of protein muffins So this has 260 calories and 12 grams of protein It says here you just add water or milk of your choice pop it in the microwave And you have a protein muffin. So obviously i'm not going to try this But i'm excited. This would be a really quick and easy breakfast Again, you could pair this with some eggs or some bacon This would be a great way to get in some protein, but a super quick and easy and portable breakfast Next is the spice cider. We bought this last year and we loved this. My husband really liked this This is excellent warmed up. So if you are a big fan of warmed spice cider This is really really good for that. We also used this on Thanksgiving We popped some fresh oranges that we added cloves to so you can poke fresh cloves into the oranges And we put this in the crock pot with the oranges and cloves and it made a really really good warm spice cider Be great for halloween. It would just really be great for anytime that you want to be cozy and have cider So I picked this up again. I am going to try this to make sure again That it lives up to what it was last year. Oh, it smells so good Yum. Okay, let's try it. Cheers Oh, yeah, that is so good. Okay So so so good It's really good. Even just room temperature Again, try it out in the crock pot with the oranges and the cloves drink it room temperature Put it in the fridge. Have it with your breakfast. Yum. Now. I think they have this item last year But I did not purchase it and that is the pumpkin pecan oatmeal Now I generally only buy my oats organic because they are heavily sprayed with glycosate the active ingredient in a roundup So i'm a big proponent of organic oats, but they don't have this in organic and I wanted to try this So here's the information on this oatmeal one packet is 190 calories So it's pretty pricey in calories It has 14 grams of sugar and 4 grams of protein Now it would again be a fast and quick easy breakfast You could make overnight oats with this you could add a protein shake or protein powder And almond milk and bulk up the protein and not add a lot of extra points and calories But I had to get it this year to try it. It just sounds really really good And I know that Troy will eat this as well. So We're going to try this this year even though it's a little hefty in points and calories I'm still going to give it a shot. Here's another new item at least new to me And this is the organic which makes me happy maple butter spreadable creamy maple syrup How good does that sound? I love maple syrup as you guys know I want you to take a look at that you can see that there's a layer of the maple syrup on top Of the actual butter Yes, okay So it's one tablespoon for 50 calories And it does have 13 grams of sugar now the only ingredient in here is maple syrup So that's it. So it's pretty similar to adding regular maple syrup to something So you could put this on pancakes in oatmeal you could put this on or in anything you'd use maple syrup in Let's try it now We all know what maple syrup tastes like but I'm wondering if this is a little bit different because it does have the syrup and then the solid So let's try it Yum, okay So I'm going to stir it up a little bit or the best that I can here with my spoon. Ooh, look at that Can you guys see it's like a thicker maple syrup? So I definitely want to get a little bit of the actual part of it that looks a little bit more like The buttery part. Do you see that? Yum, okay Let's try it. Cheers That is so good this 110 percent reminds me of those maple Candies the soft or the hard the ones that literally taste like maple that is what this is. This is So incredibly delicious. It definitely has a creamier taste than traditional maple syrup Oh, I'm excited for this. I'm going to use the heck out of this This may be an item that I actually buy more than one this year Next are the pumpkin waffles. Now we did buy these last year. These are really really delicious You know what I just thought of this and this How good would that be? Let me tell you I don't even think you would need to add butter if you added this maple spread Oh my gosh, you guys, how good would that be? So these little toaster waffles are really really delicious They are 180 calories for two waffles. They have three grams of sugar and four grams of protein I picked these up. These are really good great for kids if you want to put your kids in kind of a fall spirit Again, you could add the maple butter to the top of this You could also pop on the pumpkin cream cheese or the pumpkin butter Either one of those would be really good on the waffles. But yeah, I remember these from last year I'm excited to dig into these next is another item that I actually bought last year and remember it being incredible And that is the caramel apple flavored granola. I love granola in general I remember adding this to yogurt last year and it being absolutely delicious But we are going to try this 250 calories for three quarters of a cup It is definitely calorie heavy 13 grams of sugar. So lots of sugar and six grams of protein Look at that Big huge chunks of granola. You can see a lot of the dried apple in there So we are going to try this again and make sure that again. It's as good as I remember it being last year Yum. Cheers delicious Absolutely delicious just as good as I remember It says sweet and tart crunchy clusters with apple slices peanuts and pumpkin spiced pumpkin seeds Delicious delicious delicious and I am hoping that I did indeed save the best for last The hold the cone the mini hold the cone pumpkin and ginger What they did not have these last year correct me if I'm wrong because I would have bought these If I would have seen these last year, I love the hold the cones They're small little mini ice cream cones similar to the drumsticks. Just a smaller version I am going to open this up and show you guys what they look like. You know what? Let's try one. Let's do it. Let's taste it. So this is how they come packaged. Look at these you guys Don't those look so good for the sake of the video and to know if these are as good as they look and sound Let's try them. Cheers I am in pumpkin heaven. Oh my god. These are so good. Look at the inside you guys. Look at that It is like pumpkin pie filling with this really good like white chocolate coating. Oh my god That could it I'm finishing this. This is so good I will 100% Be buying these all season. In fact, I may stock up on these in my cream cheese before they're gone Get these. These are absolutely incredible as I'm finishing this you guys Wow So I read the box actually and it says eight gingery cones filled with pumpkin ice cream And white confectionary coating It's amazing. There's even a little layer of the white chocolate in the bottom of the cone Incredible. So I'm super excited about the first haul of 2020 of all things pumpkin from Trader Joe's Definitely make sure that you're subscribed so that you don't miss out on the other pumpkin I also do holiday hauls where I show you all the goodies for Christmas and the holidays from Trader Joe's Make sure you're subscribed and your bells turned on so you're not missing a single video I am going to show you guys next all of the items that I didn't purchase But I'm going to go ahead and put them up here on the screen for you And tell you a little bit about those items in case there's something that you're interested in picking up for yourself So first is this pumpkin bisque. It says a creamy soup with pumpkin and fall spices Now it sounds really good, but it was really really high in calories. It was about 360 calories for the serving Which is way too much. It's not something that I would eat. I don't know that we would like it So I didn't pick it up But if you're a bisque person definitely check it out and then I saw this pumpkin danish kringle Now to my knowledge, I've never had a kringle, but this is the pumpkin version Now I have heard that these fly off the shelf at Trader Joe's They can't keep them in stock if you know what a kringle is if you're danish Let me know down in the comments exactly what this is I may pick it up eventually But I didn't get it this time because I just had so many other sweet things It sounds delicious and it is in stock and to let you know There was only like four left on the shelf and they were still frozen So I imagine they even just got put out and they were almost gone already Then I saw these apple cider donuts. Now these look absolutely incredible I'm a donut girl. But again, I didn't pick these up. I may do it down the road But these look really good. You got six of them in the package Everything apple cider of course is fall vibes to the max So that's another new thing that I saw this week at Trader Joe's While I picked up the mini holtocones. I saw this pilgrim joes. How cute is that pumpkin ice cream super premium So now I do eat full fat ice cream. I will probably buy this just to try it once the mini cones Well, I don't know. I love the mini cones. We'll see but I saw this ice cream And if you're an ice cream lover and you love pumpkin, this sounds absolutely delicious So I decided not to pick up any of the teas this year because neither one of them were organic And I've been really focused on organic when it comes to tea and I just have a lot of tea on hand anyways But they did have in the cute little tin the pumpkin spice rubios herbal blend for only a dollar 99 in the tin It the tea is really really delicious and it would be a great gift because it's in this cute little pumpkin tin They also had the other tea for fall, which I love love love and that is the harvest blend herbal tea This is a caffeine free tea great at night before you go to bed It is fall vibes to the max. It is spicy. It's pumpkin-y. It's really delicious So if you like that cardamom cinnamon nutmeg, you will absolutely love this tea I saw a oat beverage non-dairy oat beverage in maple. So this sounds really good as well I'm not the biggest oat milk fan. I may try this just for fun Maybe in a future grocery haul or a future video But I did see this and I thought that if you are someone that avoids dairy, this would be a great option Again, it is oat milk based and maple flavored, which maple anything is amazing I also saw when I picked up the pumpkin bread mix. I saw this trader joe's pumpkin Pancake and waffle mix. I remember getting this last year and it being really really delicious But when I went to check out she mentioned the gluten-free version of this the gluten-free pumpkin pancake mix She said it is amazing that it is better than the regular So if you're going to pick up a pancake mix per the trader joe's employee recommendation Pick up the gluten-free one But the one I had last year the regular one was really really good They also sell canned pumpkin at an incredible price I can pay two to three dollars a can at my local grocery store And it's only a dollar 99 at trader joe's Also in the snack section where I found the cute little leaf potato chips that I showed in the pumpkin ones I found a popcorn and this is new. I don't remember this last year This is the maple flavored and sea salt kettle corn. Doesn't that sound delicious? So i'm feeling like it's going to be salty sweet with a hint of maple which sounds really really good That's a great combination. So if you're a popcorn lover, you love maple. Definitely pick this one up So that's everything that I have for you today from my first pumpkin haul of 2020 I can't wait for the next one.
