If you’re into vegan, oil-free living and love discovering new products, then you have to check out the YouTube channel Well Your World. Dylan and Reebs are the dynamic duo behind this channel, and their latest video is a delightful haul of their favorite vegan and oil-free products from Trader Joe’s. I absolutely love their energy and the way they make healthy eating fun and accessible. In my opinion, they are a goldmine for anyone looking to elevate their plant-based lifestyle.
Frozen Favorites
Dylan and Reebs kick off with their top freezer picks, and I have to say, I was immediately intrigued by the frozen artichokes. I think they are a game-changer for anyone who loves adding a unique twist to their meals. Dylan raves about using them in instant pot meals and dips, and I can’t wait to try them in my own recipes. Reebs mentioned a delectable dill dip made with these artichokes, and I’m definitely adding that to my must-try list.
Next up, they highlight the fire-roasted onions and peppers, which are perfect for fajitas. The smoky flavor and convenience make them a staple in my kitchen now. I love how they emphasize the simplicity and versatility of these veggies. And let’s not forget the roasted corn, which Dylan loves adding to pico de gallo for a more filling, starchy meal. In my opinion, this is a brilliant way to elevate a simple dish.
Rice and Grains
The rice cauliflower from Trader Joe’s is another favorite. Dylan and Reebs prefer getting it from Costco, but they appreciate the convenience of having it on hand for quick, low-calorie meals. I tried their recommendation of adding nutritional yeast (nooch) to the rice cauliflower, and it’s become one of my favorite snacks too. It’s great for bulking up meals with extra veggies.
They also introduced me to the microwavable rice packets, which are perfect for those days when you need something quick and easy. I think keeping these at work for emergency meals is a fantastic idea.
Dairy-Free Milks
Dylan and Reebs are fans of Trader Joe’s soy milk, which is a simple blend of water and soybeans. At under two dollars, it’s a steal! I tried it in my baking, and it works like a charm. They also experimented with hemp milk, which has a unique flavor and is slightly creamier. Mixing soy and hemp milk together was a fun suggestion from Dylan, and in my opinion, it’s worth a try if you’re looking for something new.
Salsas and Dips
Salsa lovers, rejoice! Dylan and Reebs dive into their favorite salsas, with the salsa verde being a standout. It’s not too salty and has a lovely tangy flavor. They also tried the pineapple salsa, which was a bit too sweet for their liking, but it’s always fun to experiment. I appreciated their honesty about the flavors.
The eggplant hummus and cashew fiesta dip are two oil-free dips they recommend. I love the eggplant hummus with baby carrots – it’s a perfect snack! The cashew fiesta dip is thick and rich, great for those who prefer a heartier dip. Mixing it with salsa authentica was a delightful tip from Dylan.
Nuts and Snacks
For those on the go, the dry roasted unsalted pistachio nuts and dried unsweetened mango are must-haves. Dylan warns that these can be addictive, and I completely agree. They’re perfect for road trips or quick snacks. Reebs also mentioned the no-salt-added almond butter, which is a rare find and a great addition to any pantry.
Breads and Wraps
Trader Joe’s offers some excellent bread options, like the 100% whole wheat pita bread and the whole wheat lavash bread. I tried making wraps with the lavash bread, and they turned out fantastic. The cruciferous crunch mix, which includes kale, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage, adds a nutritious punch to any wrap or salad.
Wraps and Tacos
Dylan and Reebs demonstrated how to make delicious wraps using the lavash bread, roasted corn, rice medley, and salsa. I tried their method, and it was one of the best wraps I’ve had in a long time. They also experimented with jicama wraps, which are thinly sliced jicama used as taco shells. I found the crunch and freshness of these wraps to be a refreshing change, perfect for a light summer meal.
Final Thoughts
I absolutely loved this video from Well Your World. Dylan and Reebs have a knack for making healthy eating exciting and approachable. Their Trader Joe’s haul introduced me to so many new products and ideas. If you’re looking to spice up your vegan, oil-free diet, I highly recommend checking out their channel and trying some of these fantastic products. Happy eating!
