Fast Break: Lunch options at Trader Joe’s

Lunch breaks at work can often mean reheated leftovers and artificial frozen meals that never really satisfy, but that was before Trader Joe’s (Map it!) came to town. The organic grocer comes stocked with convenient, delicious and natural pre-made meals from Indian rices to chicken Parmesan. They’re perfect for a quick meal that won’t bring you down by the time you’re done eating it.

You can pick up the chicken and vegetable wonton soup in the freezer aisle for just $2.29, add some water and pop it in the microwave for a fast and painless lunch at your desk. The broth is loaded with carrots, sugar snap peas, green onions and herbs for a subtle but still impressive flavor for a frozen meal, and the chicken wontons are a treat each time you fish one out the bowl. If you haven’t yet taken advantage of the Trader Joe’s selection, this soup could be the perfect place to start. For more information, visit the Trader Joe’s website.—Kaci Yoder
