TikTok food trends often result in sudden sales spikes and we saw that happen last year with Italian bread and cheese. But this is a fully fledged culinary phenomenon that has brought a lot of extra business to the UK dairy industry.

If there's one food trend that defines snacking in the 2020s, it's the protein craze. The modern health and fitness hype paved the way for many of us to gloss over sugary sweets and carb-heavy dishes in favor of foods that help us meet our gym goals. Lately, big food brands have been bringing something new to the market: high-protein snacks that double as dessert. Now, Pot-Tarts are scratching that itch for a hearty treat.

There's something oddly comforting about Trader Joe's prepared foods - like they're somehow "homemade" instead of store-bought. Maybe it's the interesting concoctions, or the comparatively "clean" ingredients, but I personally feel pretty good reaching for those refrigerated or frozen packages dotted throughout TJ's stores. That's especially true for quick-fixing breakfast or snack items like Trader Joe's egg bites. One in particular harbors an impressive 17 grams of protein per two-bite package, and it does so with only the whites - no yolks involved.
