Trader Joe’s Joe-Joe’s Cookies & Creme Granola Review

I picked up a bag of the new Trader Joe’s Joe-Joe’s Cookies & Creme Granola and I thought I’d do a quick review because the Holiday Makeup Collections are doing my head in and we need a little break. Sound good?

Trader Joe’s Joe-Joe’s Cookies & Creme Granola is a new and I believe seasonal granola that launched for Fall 2022. Hopefully, they keep this around as it’s quite delicious. We had a mini meltdown over here yesterday as we ran out of chia seeds which are a staple in our overnight oats, yogurt, and the protein shakes my boyfriend makes after his workout. I had a bag of Honey Bunches of Oats in the pantry which my boyfriend won’t touch with a ten-foot pole but I totally love. As I was about to sprinkle some on my greek yogurt I remembered I had gotten a bag of the Trader Joe’s Joe-Joe’s Cookies & Creme Granola!

And after eating it I realized I will never, ever buy it again!

This stuff is lethal. It should be illegal to put little chunks of Joe Joe’s in granola! I almost ate half a bag yesterday. I had a little on my yogurt and I went back for a bit more as a snack and before you know it turned into my evening snack while I watched a movie with my boyfriend and this morning I had more on my yogurt.

It’s terrifyingly good but obviously super high in calories like all good granola! It’s vegan from what I can tell and also, gluten-free. It’s pretty much little clusters of rolled oats that have cane sugar and vanilla extract. It pretty much tastes like any delicious granola you’ve run across in your adventures but the big difference is there are tiny pieces of Joe’s Joes in the mix. If you aren’t familiar with Joe’s Joes they are pretty much a tasty duplication of Oreos! That added bit of chocolate is a pleasant surprise and I find myself going in for more and more to see how many yummy pieces of cookie I can get with each amount I eat. I love Special K Chocolately Delight Cereal. It’s my favorite guilty pleasure. I love scooping up some cornflakes and finding a taste little block of chocolate in the mix. That’s what this granola reminds me of. You got these yummy oat clusters but suddenly you’ll bite into a crunchy bit of yummy chocolate cookie!

It’s the perfect companion piece to my favorite Brown Cow yogurt or vanilla-flavored Greek Yogurt! It adds that perfect crunch! If you really want to hang yourself you can have some in a bowl with milk but I don’t suggest it as the calories are pretty high on this for a small amount.

Trader Joe’s Joe-Joe’s Cookies & Creme Granola is a delicious little snack or topper to your favorite yogurts or fruits.

This is available now and hopefully not just for Fall!

Has anyone tried it?

    Sounds good, but I already have my HG. It’s Love Crunch dark chocolate and pb. Not doing all that portion math…can’t do a direct comparison…but the salt and saturated fat look far lower. That c+ pb (major food groups) is so TDF that I avoid that section of aisle or avert my eyes when I breeze by. Sorry I didn’t hit print on that concealer question earlier. Fast click syndrome.
