Making a quick Trader Joe’s run to pick up only a few things
… I spotted a new delicious looking pie in the baked goods section. After that discovery, and a quick check of
the nutrition facts Trader Joe’s
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie entered my shopping basket to come with me to the
checkout.
Admittedly I have never had strawberry rhubarb pie in the
past. Growing up my family always had the staple apple, pumpkin and the
occasional blueberry pies. The look of
the pie was swaying enough … and after having a slice, I have to say it’s a
winning pie. If this pie were in a pie contest, I’d give it the first place
ribbon. It’s got a deliciously, soft, flaky crust. The filling has noticeable
pieces of strawberry and rhubarb in it. It’s mildly sweet … sweet enough to
enjoy and find refreshing, but not so sweet it’s a turnoff. I find the pie itself is delicious and in its
own way refreshing. It’s particularly refreshing after having set a slice in
the refrigerator to get nice and cool.
If you dissect your food as you eat it, the color of the
rhubarb pieces in the pie may possibly make you weary (they come across as
lightly brown/grayish) … but if you remind yourself it’s rhubarb then it makes
it easier. I found this to be an exceptional pie and those who shared a slice
with me, were equally pleased.
The pie is $6.99 and well worth every penny. I want to say
this is a new seasonal treat as this is the first time I have seen it at my local
Trader Joe’s.
Each serving (1/6th of the pie) is 170 calories
or 5 points plus values.
