If you’ve been a Trader Joe’s shopper for any length of time, you know that Trader Joe’s sells a LOT OF NUTS! They have a half an aisle dedicated to nuts, trail mixes and other nut and fruit mixes. But the one thing they have never had since I’ve been shopping there (almost 25 years) is just a straight up salted nut mix, without peanuts.
Until now!
I love a good nut mix. While I like peanuts well enough, I think they ruin a good mix of nuts. Costco sells a pretty good mix but I really don’t want several pounds of them, I just like to have a smaller amount for a healthy snack.
Trader Joe’s new Elevated Mixed Nuts is a combination of Cashews, Almonds, Macadamia Nuts and Pecans. The macadamia nuts are unique and a welcome change. You don’t normally find them in a nut mix. Trader Joe’s has also gone fairly light on the salt and there is a bit of sunflower oil in there probably so they don’t dry out. The nuts themselves are mostly whole and nit broken bits and some of them are quite big. Like the macadamia nuts are top quality as are the pecans.
For those with peanut allergies, the ingredients do say it may contain peanuts so they must be packaged in a shared facility.
Anyway, I am very happy Trader Joe’s released this mix. It hits the perfect spot for me as a healthy snack and at $5.99 for 5 ounces that’s a pretty good deal on mixed nuts which can cost almost double that for poor quality nuts at the supermarket.
Bottom Line: 9/10 stars on this! Stock up because you never know when Trader Joe’s will pull the rug out and stop selling them!
