I'm a dietitian on the Mediterranean diet. I swear by getting these 5 products at Trader Joe's.

Friends and clients often ask me what I stock up on at Trader Joe's while following the Mediterranean diet, and I always come back to a handful of tried-and-true essentials.

• As a dietitian following the Mediterranean diet, there are essentials I always get at Trader Joe's.
• I love snacking on Trader Joe's freeze-dried blueberries and using its vegan creamy dill dressing.
• I also get a great Paso Robles cabernet sauvignon and GT's Synergy kombucha at the store.
