The chicken burrito bowl and Ready Veggies are two things I get at Trader Joe's for a high-protein, Mediterranean diet.

• I'm a registered dietitian who follows a high-protein, Mediterranean diet.
• The store's chicken lettuce wraps and lemon-rosemary chicken are great sources of protein.
• I also love picking up the Ready Veggies, Mediterranean-style hummus, and butternut squash zig-zags.
