If you’re anything like us, we love Trader Joe’s. It’s cheap, and virtually everything is delicious. And now you can get more bang for your protein buck with this amazing high-protein option found on none other than TikTok.
TikTok user Allen Ye, a.k.a. @theallenye, shared a well-kept secret in a video with over 250,000 views, revealing that the you can get over 124 grams of protein in Trader Joe’s frozen BBQ Teriyaki Chicken for only $5.49.
Unbelievable? Hear him out. “For under $6, you can have four separate meals, that’s $1.50 per meal,” he says, recommending you add it to rice for a more complete meal. For the record, Ye is not a nutritionist.
Each 1 cup serving of Trader Joe’s BBQ Teriyaki Chicken has 240 calories, 9 grams of fat, 31 grams (g) protein, and 11 g carbohydrates (including 10 g of sugar and 1 g of fiber). There are four servings per bag. With the sugar content, it might not be a meal to have every single day, but a fleshy option for when you’re down on your protein goals.
However, we previously ranked Trader Joe’s BBQ Teriyaki Chicken no. 56 out 57 on our list of best Trader Joe’s frozen meals, citing “the chicken had a weird, chewy texture, and while the sauce was decent, it still didn’t make up for the meat.”
While everyone’s tastebuds are different, one man’s yuck could be another’s holy grail weeknight dinner.
