8 Trader Joe’s Ice Creams, Ranked – The Daily Meal

This is a classic flavor that you can find at any grocery store, but Trader Joe’s manages to amplify its ingredients to make it feel just a tad more luxurious. The brand’s mint chip ice cream boasts a spot-on ratio of ice cream to chocolate chips, with an incredibly creamy texture. Not to mention, a quart is priced at $3.99 as of March 2023, so it’s impressively inexpensive, especially in comparison to ice cream brands from competing stores.

That being said, we’ll fully admit that mint chocolate chip is a highly controversial ice cream flavor. Some people feel that it tastes like mint toothpaste and, while we don’t entirely agree, everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. Some customers on Trader Joe’s Reviews described this pick as “dangerously good”, while others felt the opposite. “This ice cream has no flavor,” one person wrote, adding, “The mint is very weak.” Another buyer echoed this sentiment, noting, “they seemed to forget to put the mint in. It’s vanilla ice cream with chips.” Whether or not you enjoy this ice cream will ultimately depend on your taste, but since the reviews aren’t overwhelmingly positive, we’re placing it in the middle.
