Trader Joe's is helping consumers beat the heat during summer's hottest days with its new Pineapple Coconut Bars.
Bursting with tropical flavors, the new Pineapple Coconut Bars are sweet and tart, but also cool and creamy. Each bar is made from a mixture of pinapple juice and sugar cane for the perfect mix of sweet and fruity. And thanks to the addition of coconut, the bars have a deliciously creamy texture. Best of all, the bars are an accessible treat because they're vegan, gluten-free, and kosher.
Perfectly portioned into individual bars with a handy stick on the end, the new Pineapple Coconut Bars are a great option for BBQs, picnics, pool days, and backyard hangs this summer. Just enjoy them while you can because they are a limited-time offering.
