I'm a dietitian based in New York City, and I turn to Trader Joe's when I'm looking to stock up on snacks.

Trader Joe's is one of the biggest supermarket chains in the US, and the typical shopper spends just under $42 per trip. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of that budget goes to the retailer's impressive selection of crackers, sweets, and nuts.

Here are some of my favorite snacks at Trader Joe's.

Bamba is a lighter alternative to some chips and cheese puffs.
