Whether you prioritize protein or like to set the tone of the day with a sweet treat, Trader Joe\u2019s has sub $4 frozen breakfast options that you can snag from the freezer section and keep on hand to pop in the oven or pan. As we dive into this Trader Joe\u2019s frozen breakfast haul, let us remember the old Ron Swanson adage: \u201cThere has never been a sadness that can’t be cured by breakfast food.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Breakfast sausage<\/a> is a breakfast GOAT, but this one is decidedly not goat. Or pig. Or turkey. This plant-based patty is proof that there\u2019s no reason non-meat eaters should have to miss out on the salty, savory goodness that is the breakfast sausage. This take is a blend of textured soy protein and wheat gluten seasoned with classic sausage spices like sage, fennel, and, of course, garlic and onion.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n\n\n\n\n\n Hash browns<\/a>. Need we say more? No, but be will, because we can\u2019t contain our excitement. Potatoes are always a solid start, but fried up to be crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and frozen for our convenience? Just a quick trip detour to the airfryer or oven, and these quickly become perfect partners to scrambled eggs, a sopper for a runny yolk, or a landing zone for copious amounts of sriracha<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n\n\n\n\n\n BAM! POW! THWACK! That\u2019s the sound of this chia bowl fighting off illness, fatigue, and a life of flavorlessness all in one go. The delicious mix of mango puree, coconut cream, passionfruit juice, and black chia seeds<\/a> is cheaper than any tropical vacation and will leave you with way fewer mosquito bites. Simply thaw, top with crunchy granola<\/a> if you\u2019d like, and tell that $11 smoothie bowl place to suck it.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n\n\n\n\t\t Yeah, there are pancake mixes<\/a> that are pretty easy, but sometimes we want easier than \u201cpretty easy.\u201d We want grossly easy. We want easy that\u2019ll have grandpappies everywhere saying, \u201cDon\u2019t you know how lucky you are? Back in my day\u2026\u201d These frozen pancakes are that easy. All you need to do is pop them in the microwave. And since they\u2019re so small, you don\u2019t have to commit to just one topping. You can have many with a bunch of different toppings.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n\n\n\n\n\n Who said classy can\u2019t be quick? If you\u2019re hosting a tea or a brunch, nobody needs to know that delicious quiche came from the freezer<\/a>, and Deborah best be minding her own business if she\u2019s trying to judge any food that isn\u2019t homemade or from a patisserie. Though this sophisticated savory can hold its own amidst debutantes, it\u2019s also easy enough for a simple breakfast at home. Buttery crust, fluffy eggs, and tender broccoli all living together in harmony with cheddar cheese? That\u2019s a roommate situation we could get behind. <\/p>\n<\/dd>\n\n\n\n\n\n These frozen mini egg frittatas do two things really well. First, they\u2019re a great breakfast. Made up of eggs, Swiss cheese<\/a>, cauliflower, and fried onions, they\u2019re as good on their own as they are between English muffins<\/a> or with a side of bacon<\/a>. Secondly, they\u2019re also a great catalyst for flirtation. Simply approach your crush and ask if they\u2019d like to splittata a frittata. All worthwhile partners will immediately oblige.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n\n\n\n\t\t Trader Joe\u2019s cheap breakfast haul! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2696,"featured_media":44246,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rank_math_lock_modified_date":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"articletype":[380,41],"coauthors":[406],"class_list":["post-44247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stores","articletype-grocery-hauls","articletype-listicles"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sporked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/LISTICLE_TRADER-JOES-MEALS-UNDER-5_HEADER.jpg","posts_featured":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sporked.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sporked.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sporked.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sporked.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2696"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sporked.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44247"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sporked.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44247\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44251,"href":"https:\/\/sporked.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44247\/revisions\/44251"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sporked.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sporked.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sporked.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sporked.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44247"},{"taxonomy":"articletype","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sporked.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articletype?post=44247"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sporked.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=44247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
