Trader Joe’s dips deserve more love. After all, they’ve got at least 20 different kinds of dips on deck every time I walk into the store! Because Trader Joe’s has such an array of dip options, they can actually be used in all sorts of ways beyond just dipping with a chip. After years of cooking easy meals for myself (and countless trips to TJ’s) I’ve found the tastiest ways to use their dips across different dishes to enhance texture, flavor, and nutrition.

Here are the 9 best ways to use Trader Joe’s dips in place of the expected chip combo!

Trader Joe’s

1. Use them as spreads for sandwiches or wraps.

You can easily use Trader Joe’s dips as spreads to not only add flavor, but moisture to a sandwich or wrap that might otherwise come off as dry. My favorite TJ’s dips to use as spreads include the Garlic Spread Dip, which is super yum on a turkey sandwich and theBuffalo Chicken Dip that’s impeccable with a veggie wrap. I could truly eat the latter with a spoon straight from the container.

Trader Joe’s

2. Use them as pasta sauces.

Certain Trader Joe’s dips also work well in place of pasta sauce, or as an addition to bulk ‘em up if you only have half a jar left. You are the chef here – so you can really use any dip you want per your meal plans – but I think two of the most approachable ways to try TJ’s dips as pasta sauces are adding the Creamy Dreamy Hummus to a cold Mediterranean pasta salad (hello, added protein!) or stirring the Vegan Kale, Cashew & Basil Pesto in with some plain ravioli or tortellini.

Trader Joe’s

3. Stir them into soups.

Adding creamy dips like TJ’s Vegan Tzatziki Dip to certain soups can be such a fun way to add the desired texture you want, all while getting playful with the exact flavors. Any creamier dip can easily be stirred into your soup’s broth or you can top off your bowl with a heaping spoonful!

Trader Joe’s

4. Add them to baked potatoes.

I need you to try this TJ’s dip hack as soon as possible. Topping a baked potato with either the Pimento Cheese Dip or the Everything And the Elote Greek Style Yogurt Dip in place of cheese or sour cream is insanely tasty – you won’t want to eat your ‘taters any other way.

Trader Joe’s

5. Use them as pizza sauces or toppings.

Just like you spread them on sammies and wraps, certain Trader Joe’s dips meld well as pizza sauces or toppings. I’ve used their Reduced Guilt Spinach & Kale Greek Yogurt Dip as a ‘white’ sauce before, topping my pizza with mozzarella, artichokes, and olives for an insanely tasty meal. You could also top a Mediterranean flatbread with dollops of TJ’s Crunchy Chili Onion Hummus for a spicy flair!

Trader Joe’s

6. Turn them into salad dressings.

Thinning out thicker Trader Joe’s dips with a bit of olive oil or vinegar is a super fun way to create unique salad dressings. I’ve tried this with TJ’s hummus before, though I imagine whipping something up using their new-ish Caesar Salad Dip would be great, too!

Trader Joe’s

7. Use them for stuffed mushrooms or peppers.

Mixing thicker dips like the Roasted Red Pepper Hummus with breadcrumbs and shredded cheese to use as a stuffing for mushrooms (or peppers!) before baking them has no business being that yummy.

Trader Joe’s

8. Use them as marinades.

You can practically use any Trader Joe’s dip as a marinade for chicken, beef, fish, or veggies before grilling or baking them. Some standouts include their Chimichurri Sauce for steak and Zhoug Sauce for chicken!

Trader Joe’s

9. Add them as fillings for breads or pastries.

Certain Trader Joe’s dips can also be baked into focaccia or sourdough loaves. I’ve never tried it myself, but I think the Pimento Cheese Dip could be stunning with something more savory. Their Sweet Cannoli Dip would be iconic in sweeter bakes like croissants or babka!

Wellness in 2025is not just about personal health, but also the spaces we live in. The latest trends in wellness focus on a holistic approach that balances the body, mind, and your environment. From smart technologies to ancient healing practices, these 17 wellness trends are set to transform how we care for ourselves and our homes. Whether you’re looking to improve your mental health, your physical well-being, or simply create a more nurturing space, these trends will help you experience 2025 with a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.

Here are 17 wellness trends we're excited about in 2025.

Digital Detox Retreats

Darina Belonogova

The constant need to check emails, texts, and social media has led to burnout and stress. The American Psychological Associations' Stress in America survey found that a fifth of U.S. adults cited technology use as a significant source of stress in their life. Constantly being plugged in can affect both our mental and physical health. Taking a conscious break from screens to reconnect with ourselves and others will become a necessity in 2025. Expect even wellness retreats to offer more phone-free spaces and adventures. (See The White Lotus season 3, episode 1!). Whether it’s an hour a day or a weekend getaway, we allow our minds to rest and reduce the overwhelming feeling caused by information overload.

Saunas Everywhere

At-home saunas are the latest self care status symbol and will continue to trend into 2025 as they become more affordable (this portable sauna from Target is only $150!). Urban saunas, floating saunas, even speed-dating saunas are bringing this ancient tradition back and making it more accessible. Sauna blankets help improve circulation, detoxification through sweating, and relaxation of muscles and joints. A regular sauna routine can help reduce stress, promote better sleep, and boost heart health. The heat is also good for skin and your body's recover post-workout. Community saunas and bathhouses are also gaining in popularity, especially among younger generations who prefer the social aspect with phones and other distractions.

Train Travel

Trains are competing with spas and resorts to offer wellness-focused journeys. London's LNER Wellness Train offers activities like knitting, macrame, doodling, meditation, and games. The Golden Chariot in South India offers a spa and fitness experience while the Royal Scotsman has a Dior Spa Carriage and offers views of the Scottish Highlands for a low-stress travel experience.

Gentle Workouts

Scarlett Alexandra DeGregorio

High-impact exercises can often leave our bodies feeling strained. By incorporating gentle exercise into your fitness routine, you allow your body to move in a way that reduces stress and tension. Workouts like yoga, pilates, or walking, help you become more in tune with your breathing and heart rate, which helps you feel calm. It's a great way to reach your 2025 fitness goals while also improving your mental health.

AI-Driven Wellness Devices

Kaboompics.com

Biohacking wellness trends like tracking sleep, nutrition, and exercise are helping people optimize their health and potentially their life span. According to a recent McKinsey report, more than 60 percent of people have said it’s extremely or very important to purchase longevity products, and 70 percent are planning to buy more products in the future. Wearable robotics are continuing to drive this trend, and allowing more people to turn their healthcare into a lifestyle, rather than waiting for an annual checkup. People are also using at-home diagnostic tools and e-health services to manage their health at home.

Smarter Supplements 

Photo by Nataliya Vaitkevich

According to SuperAge, supplements are getting smarter, more personalized, and adaptive to individual needs, thanks to AI, biomarker testing, and genetic insights. Formulas targeting menopause, hormonal balance, and fertility are becoming a major focus for women's health too. Shop immunity supplements, nootropics (for focus and memory), multivitamins and more on Amazon's health and wellness site.

Wellness Gardens

Billie Lentz

Wellness gardens are the perfect escape from the bustle of daily life, and can promote health and wellness with thoughtfully curated elements like aromatic plants, water features, and comfortable seating. Greenery, soothing sounds, and sitting outdoors in nature can encourage you to be more mindful and less stressed while homegrown food, herbs, and edible flowers nourish you for the season.

Functional Medicine

Cora Pursley

Functional medicine is a personalized, science-based approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms. It considers genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors to create individualized treatment plans, emphasizing nutrition, gut health, and holistic wellness for long-term health and disease prevention. Functional foods are nutrient-rich foods that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition — so foods filled with vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, or probiotics to support digestion, boost immunity, or reduce inflammation. Examples include fermented foods like yogurt and kimchi, which promote gut health, or fatty fish like salmon, rich in omega-3s, which support heart health. Next time you food shop, look out for these foods and incorporate them into daily meals to enhance your overall wellness and help prevent chronic health conditions.

Light Therapy

Jemilla Mills-Smith

An estimated 10 million Americans are affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), according to Psychology Today. Designing your home for better natural light, especially in winter, can help regulate the body’s circadian rhythm, improving sleep quality and energy levels. Use sheer curtains in active spaces like the kitchen, living room, and home office, and open up blinds to allow as much natural light in, stimulating vitamin D production to keep bone health and immune function in check. Mentally, natural light has been shown to boost mood, reduce stress, and alleviate symptoms of depression by increasing serotonin levels. It can also improve focus, productivity, and creativity while you work. For long winter nights, invest in a light therapy lamp too.

Wellness Journaling

Hannah Newberry

Wellness journaling helps you track your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. By documenting your daily habits, moods, and goals, you can start to see patterns, manage stress, and focus mindfulness and on your personal growth. Check out this Papier journal for tracking your 2025 wellness goals.

Smart Indoor Air Monitors

Mikhail Nilov

Improving indoor air quality is so important for a healthy home. According to the EPA, Americans, on average, spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors, where the concentrations of pollutants can be 2 to 5 times higher than they are outdoors. Open windows when possible or use air purifiers with HEPA filters to reduce allergens, dust, and pollutants. Houseplants like snake plants and spider plants can also help purify the air naturally. Regularly clean and vacuum to keep dust mites and mold at bay, and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Invest in a smart air quality monitor to give yourself peace of mind.

Water Filtration Systems

Ron Lach

Home water filtration is becoming a vital wellness trend, as people seek cleaner, safer drinking water. Advanced filtration systems remove contaminants like chlorine, lead, and bacteria, and eco-conscious designs, such as reverse osmosis and carbon filters, improve water quality while reducing our reliance on bottled water. Shower filtration systems are a great way to keep chlorine, heavy metals, and other impurities out of your tap water, which can cause dryness, irritation, and dullness. Have dry skin or scalp? Shower filters help maintain skin’s natural moisture barrier and can be gentler on sensitive skin.

Sleep Divorcing

Photo by Kampus Production

A sleep divorce, when you sleep in separate beds or rooms to get a better night's sleep, can save your marriage. While it may sound extreme, many couples find that it improves both their sleep and relationship. Snoring, differing sleep schedules, or constant tossing and turning can keep you and your partner up all night, leading to fatigue and irritability (never great for communication). Sleep divorce is about prioritizing your health and theirs, and many couples report feeling more refreshed, connected, and happier in their relationships as a result. Not ready for a sleep divorce? Try this Scandinavian sleep method.

Modern Pilgrimaging

Spencer Wirkkala

Modern pilgrimages, where you or you with a group travel to a sacred or meaningful site, nature retreat, or cultural landmark, with an emphasis on mindfulness, inner growth, and personal transformation, are forecasted to grow in 2025 as more people seek community and the great outdoors. Many people seek these experiences as a way to disconnect from daily routines, practice meditation, or explore new spiritual perspectives.

Dry Brushing

Vlada Karpovich

I always think of Gwyneth Paltrow when I think of dry brushing. She showed us during her typical Goop-inspired shower routine that she never takes a shower without one. It simply involves brushing your skin with a natural-bristle brush to exfoliate dead cells and stimulate circulation. It can help improve skin texture, unclog pores, and promote lymphatic drainage, which supports detoxification. Regular dry brushing may reduce the appearance of cellulite, increase energy, and leave the skin feeling smoother and more refreshed. For best results, brush before your shower for max benefits.

Sexual Health

Ketut Subiyanto

Sexual wellness is becoming less taboo for 2025. As conversations around sexual health become more normalized, products and services like sex education, therapy, and health-enhancing products will become more accessible. Trends include the rise of personalized sexual health solutions, such as tailored supplements and tech-enabled devices for a better sex life. Platforms offering education, therapy, and community support will also grow, empowering us to explore our sexual wellness in a holistic, shame-free way.

Wild Swimming

Büşranur Aydın

Water wellness, a growing trend in 2025, emphasizes the health benefits of hydration and water-based therapies, like hydrotherapy (hot baths, cold plunges, steam rooms) to relieve pain, improve circulation, and reduce stress. Float therapy (a float tank filled with Epsom salt water), mineral baths using magnesium and sulfur to detoxify the body, and swimming in hot springs for relaxation, muscle tension relief, and improving circulation are giving rise to the therapeutic benefits of our natural waters.
