If you're doing the keto diet [1], Trader Joe's has a large selection of food that can help you stay on track.

Luckily, TJ's carries everything from meats and protein to low-carb veggies and nuts, all of which are keto-approved.
To help those trying the diet, Anna Barnwell, MPH, a clinical team member at Virta Health [4], shared her favourite keto-friendly foods [5] from the fan-favourite Trader Joe's. Read ahead to see everything you can stock up on at TJ's to kickstart your keto lifestyle.
