Trader Joe's New 35-Calorie Gluten-Free Mini Mochi Are a Delicious Alternative to That Pint of Ice Cream

trader joes thai tea mini mochi recipe hero

 

Leave us alone with a pint of cookie butter ice cream and you know the end of the story: We’ll devour the entire thing and feel sick afterward. 

Enter Trader Joe’s new Thai Tea Mini Mochi, petite little bombs of non-dairy coconut milk ice cream enveloped in sweet, chewy rice wrappers. A single mochi contains just 35 calories and about 3.5 grams of sugar. Now that’s portion control at its finest.

What’s more, each one-bite treat will give you a little pick-me-up because of the strongly brewed black tea used to flavor the centers. Stash a box in your office freezer and thank us later.
