I\u2019ll admit, my roommates sometimes make fun of me from time to time for making the \u201ctrek\u201d to Trader Joe\u2019s each week when Star Market is so close to us. But the extra T ride from the Brookline store or the crazy lines at the Boylston location is always worth it for me if it means getting my favorite TJ snacks. Whether you\u2019re still in the dorms or have your own off-campus apartment, these Trader Joe\u2019s snacks are staples for any college student<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Roasted Plantain Chips<br \/>\nI\u2019m a huge fan of salty chips but I have a hard time justifying buying a bag of potato chips when I know I could eat them in one sitting. I love Trader Joe\u2019s plantain chips because they\u2019re a healthier option but I still get the savory taste and crunch that I crave!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"\/comblog\/files\/2016\/10\/image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2016\/10\/image.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2439\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span>Caramelized Onion Dip<br \/>\nOkay, so sometimes I have to cave and get potato chips but when I do, I make sure to really splurge and get some dip to go with it. This is my favorite late-night snack when I\u2019m looking to treat myself to a trashy snack after a long day of classes or work.<br \/>\n<\/span><a href=\"\/comblog\/files\/2016\/10\/image1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2016\/10\/image1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"279\" height=\"195\" class=\"  wp-image-2440 aligncenter\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span>Vanilla Almond Spiced Chai<br \/>\nWhen I\u2019m running late for class, I love grabbing one of these for a quick snack. The spiced chai drink is filled with protein that keeps me full but is still so refreshing and delicious! It\u2019s also a non-dairy drink for all of my vegan friends out there!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/comblog\/files\/2016\/10\/image2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2016\/10\/image2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"264\" height=\"309\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-2441\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span>Organic Popcorn with Olive Oil<br \/>\nA handful of this popcorn is the perfect study snack.

This is hands down my favorite fall snack right now at Trader Joe\u2019s. I\u2019m embarrassed to say there\u2019s been multiple times where my roommates have had to step in and stop me from eating the entire box. You can heat up these mini pies in the oven if you have your own kitchen, or just eat them thawed if you\u2019re in your dorm room!It\u2019s only here for the fall season so stock up now, seriously!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/comblog\/files\/2016\/10\/image4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2016\/10\/image4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"406\" height=\"293\" class=\"  wp-image-2443 aligncenter\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there is one thing I can make time for out of my day, it\u2019s a trip to Trader Joe\u2019s.
