Say It Ain’t So… Trader Joe’s Kale Gnocchi Has Been Discontinued
After months of trying to find this fan-favorite gnocchi in the Trader Joe’s frozen section, I finally heard the bad news…
Trader Joe’s discontinued their popular Kale Gnocchi in 2022.
But why?
Why Trader Joe’s Discontinues Popular Items
It’s so hard to know why TJ’s discontinues so many popular products. Some TJ’s shoppers have turned it into a running joke that as soon as you start loving a TJ’s product, it’s bound to disappear. (I wrote a whole article about the TJ’s products disappearing in 2023 here.)
But one Reddit user and TJ’s employee offered some insight to help soothe our collective confusion…
TJ’s Kale Gnocchi was one of their most popular healthy, gluten-free, and vegan meals. These gnocchi were made with just five simple ingredients, making them both paleo and keto friendly.
Needless to say, they will be sorely missed.
But there are some alternatives to check out instead that might help fill the void.
TJ’s Cauliflower Gnocchi
As it stands, TJ’s Cauliflower Gnocchi is the closest alternative to their beloved Kale Gnocchi.
Check out my review of TJ’s Cauliflower Gnocchi here, including cooking instructions and a look into how I hacked this into a delicious gluten-free meal.

Like the long-gone Kale Gnocchi, TJ’s Cauliflower Gnocchi is also gluten free, vegan, and Whole30 compliant.
A bag of this healthy gnocchi can be found in the TJ’s frozen section for just $2.99 per bag.
