I’m a dietitian on the Mediterranean diet. Here are 12 things I buy at Trader Joe’s when I don’t feel like cooking.

I try to mostly eat balanced and nutrient-dense meals that follow the Mediterranean diet — which focuses on consuming lots of whole grains and produce while limiting red meats and processed foods — but I don’t enjoy spending time planning, cooking, and cleaning.

Thankfully, Trader Joe’s has some gems that help me feed my entire family (including a picky child).

Here are some of my must-buy items that I use to help create healthy and easy meals without spending too much time in the kitchen.
