Ube Mochi Pancake Mix at Trader Joe's, Selena Gomez's Cooking Show, Arby's 13-Hour Puzzle [5/4/20 – 5/10/20]
If you’ve been looking to add some pizazz to your breakfast, look no further than your nearest Trader Joe’s.

The taste has been described as a “sweet, chewy breakfast treat” that cooks up brown with a bright purple inside—definitely adding this to our next Trader Joe’s haul.
