Great news for anyone who doesn't live near a Trader Joe's: CVS is upping its grocery game and a certain TJ's staple is joining the mix. The pharmacy recently announced 70 new healthy-ish snacks and pantry staples coming to stores this spring under its in-house Gold Emblem and Gold Emblem Abound Lines. While there's plenty of good stuff to try, the one we're most excited about is the everything bagel seasoning.
If you're a regular Trader Joe's shopper, you've probably seen their Everything But The Bagel Seasoning. People are O-B-S-E-S-S-E-D with putting it on eggs, avocado, salads...basically anything that would taste good with a bagel, minus all the carbs. CVS's version will be in stores this spring, priced at $3.19 for a 2.7-ounce bottle. It's slightly more expensive than TJ's ($1.99 for a 2.3-ounce bottle), but you're paying for the convenience.
CVS is also rolling out Everything Bagel Cashews—which sound wonderful—and a ton of other sweet and savory snacks from Dark Chocolate Raspberry Light Dipped Almonds to Dark Chocolate Freeze Dried Bananas and Single Serve Turkey Jerky. They're also adding Dark Chocolate Chickpeas and Edamame—yay? Nay? We shall see.
This expansion is part of CVS's effort to offer more better-for-you options, and to make it clear what those nutritional benefits are—labels will have bigger call-outs telling shoppers what's gluten-free, USDA organic certified, non-GMO, etc. You'll start to see the new products in stores this month, with some available online, too. Sadly, the everything bagel seasoning is not included, but if you're more of an online shopper, Amazon carries a similar seasoning, too.
