We are talking about my latest food obsession: Trader Joe’s “Garlic Shiitake Green Beans”.
As we travel across the US, I’m always on the hunt for new favorites at Trader Joe’s, and lately, I can’t stop grabbing their Garlic Shiitake Green Beans.
These frozen green beans have quickly become my go-to meal because they’re not only easy to prepare but also bursting with flavor.
With tender green beans, savory garlic, and shiitake mushrooms, they’re the perfect quick vegan dish for any lifestyle.
If you’re looking for a tasty and simple meal, this might just be your next Trader Joe’s obsession.
It’s the simple things in life that create wonderful moments. There were moments where I stopped and said to myself, “These are so good!”

Easy Cooking Instructions for Busy Days
From the package, heat from frozen:
Stove Top: Pour desired amount in a skillet and sauté over medium heat for 4 minutes, then cover. Increase heat to high, sauté for 1 additional minute or until heated through, and serve
Microwave (my preference): Microwave heat times may vary depending on oven wattage. Pour the desired amount in a microwave-safe dish and cover. Heat on high for 4 minutes, uncover, and stir. Continue heating for 1 additional minute or until heated through, and serve.
Versatility and Portion Size: Perfect for Every Meal
These green beans are simple and blissful. You can serve it as the main dish, as a side dish, or you can stir fry some pan-fried tofu or mince into it.
Per package, it’s about 2.5 servings per container. I agree with the serving size.
If you are eating the green beans as the main course with rice for a meal, you may be able to eat 2.5 servings. But if it is served as a side dish, the size of the package is perfect for 2 vegan people like us.
