A small amount of cheese is okay on the Mediterranean diet, and we love getting TJ's tiny brie bites to go with fruit for an easy and portable snack.
Trader Joe's brined feta cheese and melt an ounce of it over whole-wheat pita bread. Top it with your favorite vegetables.
There are a lot of tasty olives at Trader Joe's. You can't go wrong with any heart-healthy choice, but we love the snack containers that are easy to carry.
Keep an eye on the sodium level—olives can have a lot of it!
These date bites are made of dates, fruit, seeds, and nuts, and they don't have any added sugar.
They're great to take with you or keep in your desk for when you want something sweet.
Popcorn isn't really a traditional treat in the Mediterranean, but whole grains, like air-popped popcorn, are! There are a lot of tasty popcorn choices at Trader Joe's.
Just make sure to choose air-popped popcorn and avoid ones with added sugars.
