Trader Joe's whole grain hard pretzel sticks

3

These are very firm and have a bready flavor. They're the only whole wheat pretzels I've seen, so even though they don't taste as good as classic pretzels, I'm all over them. Dip in peanut butter, hummus, or mustard for best results!

Inka Chips plantain chips

5

Delicious. Super crunchy. Unique. Not too salty. And no, they don't taste like bananas.

Trader Joe's woven wheats crackers

4

These taste like Triscuits. Just salty enough, just oily enough, and lots of tasty fiber!

Barbara's Bakery Shredded Spoonfuls cereal

4

A nice snack with an unexpected sweetness. These are heavenly with vanilla soy milk or vanilla almond milk. Warning: Do NOT try to use these to make a savory Chex-style party mix. They're too sweet.

General Mills Cookie Crisp cereal

3

This stuff is pretty gross. It doesn't taste like cookies; it just tastes like sweetened blobs. It's got a strange after-taste too. Not recommended.

Rising Moon Organics butternut squash ravioli

5

Lovely flavor, great plain or with just a touch of basily pasta sauce. The package directions are irritatingly anal, though. Just boil the things!

Ralph's mild salsa (refrigerated)

3

The oregano flavor in this salsa is odd, but it's fine for the price.

Trader Joe's low-fat Cats Cookies, chocolate

5

Chocolate graham cookies. Basically, these are Oreos without the greasy caulking in the middle. Good for straight-up snacking or to dip in hot cocoa or raspberry sorbet. Mmmmmm.

Trader Joe's organic vegetarian chili

3

It's got all the flavor you'd want in a chili and hearty chunky texture. I just don't like chili.

Trader Joe's veggie and flaxseed tortilla chips

1

Kinda gross. Two of the three flavors are not so great (the green and orange ones). And they smell funny. I kind of feel sick just thinking about these.
