Its budget-friendly and has a long shelf life in the pantry, so its a win-win in my book.
Thats when I discovered Trader Joes Sardines in Olive Oil.
They also have some calcium, if you opt for the ones with bones.

I love that incorporating sardines into my meals is not only healthy but also super easy.
Trader Joes sardines come packed in oil and are skinlessthoughyou can eat sardine skin, if you wantand boneless.
I appreciate that the fish comes without bones, as removing all of the tiny bones can be annoying.
(Although sardine bones are safe to eat, I’m not a big fan.)
Since the sardines are already prepped, I can quickly add the fish to my meals without any hassle.
Buying these sardines is also a sustainable choice, as the product comes from Morocco.
One of my favorite ways to eat sardines is atop a bagel with veggie cream cheese.
It gives a similar vibe to smoked salmon and is one of my go-to lunches.
You could also try adding sardines to ourTomato Toast with Herbed Cream Cheese.
Meanwhile, at dinnertime, I like to incorporate sardines into pasta.
Just chop up the sardines and fold them into the pasta so you get some in every bite.
So the next time youre at Trader Joes, grab some sardines and thank me later.
