3 Easy and Healthy Weeknight Meals from Trader Joes 

When life gets busy, it can be challenging to prepare healthy meals. Luckily, Trader Joe's offers a range of healthy and delicious frozen meal options that can help you maintain a healthy diet, even when you're short on time! Here are three fantastic meals from Trader Joe's that are easy to prepare and packed with flavor.

Vegan Thai Green Curry

First on the list is the Vegan Thai Green Curry, which is perfect for those who enjoy Thai food but either don’t have the time to prepare it or don’t want to go out and buy it. This vegan dish is bursting with flavor and is made with a mix of veggies, including peppers, onions, and bamboo shoots, all coated in a delicious green curry sauce. This curry pairs perfectly over a bed of cauliflower rice, rice or noodles of your choice! For an added kick, top it off with some of Trader Joe’s chili onion crunch.

Japanese-Style Fried Rice with Beef Bulgogi Stir-Fry

Another great option is the Japanese-Style Fried Rice. This dish is a perfect blend of veggies, rice, and spices, creating a savory and satisfying meal that's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. The dish is made with a mix of carrots, peas, and green onions, and is seasoned with soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Take this meal to the next level by pairing it with Trader Joe’s pre-marinated Beef Bulgogi Stir-Fry. This is a flavorful Korean dish that can be made using Trader Joe's pre-marinated beef bulgogi. Simply cook the beef in a pan and serve over your fried rice! What a great, healthy alternative to your typical frozen dinner night.

Asparagus Risotto

Last but not least, the Asparagus Risotto is a comforting and hearty meal that's perfect for a cozy night in. The dish is made with creamy risotto, asparagus, and parmesan cheese, creating a rich and filling meal that's sure to satisfy your cravings. While it is perfect on it’s own, you can pair with sauteed veggies and roasted potatoes for the ultimate quick and easy cozy meal.

Definitely pick these staples up on your next Trader Joe's run. Enjoy!
