Trader Joe's shoppers have spoken: These are the best things to buy at the chain right now

• Trader Joe's has announced the winners of its 15th annual Customer Choice Awards.
• Chili-lime rolled-corn tortilla chips and bananas won again.
• Creamy spinach-and-artichoke dip and hash browns also took No. 1 spots.

Trader Joe's has announced the winners of its 15th annual Customer Choice Awards, which revealed some repeat favorites and new champions.

The winners were selected based on shopper surveys. Categories included best beverage, best sweet treat, and best product overall.

The list is notably missing some beloved favorites, like the mandarin-orange chicken, because five-time winners are now taken out of the running and moved into the Product Hall of Fame to give other items a chance to compete.

Here are the winners of the store's 15th-annual Customer Choice Awards.

Chili-lime rolled-corn tortilla chips took the spot for overall winner for a second time in a row

After the fan-favorite mandarin-orange chicken was placed in the Hall of Fame last year, the chili-lime rolled-corn tortilla chips took the crown as fans' No. 1 product at Trader Joe's.

Now, the crunchy and spicy lime-flavored chips have won for the second year in a row.

In the overall category, they beat out steamed chicken soup dumplings, kimbap, steamed pork-and-ginger soup dumplings, and butternut-squash mac and cheese.

The tortilla chips also won in the best-snack category.

Runners-up included organic elote-corn-chip dippers, World's Puffiest white-cheddar corn puffs, crunchy curls, and the limited-time-only patio potato chips.

Goat cheese has taken the top spot for the best cheese at Trader Joe's

Many shoppers love the cheese selection at Trader Joe's, so much so that the company's Unexpected cheddar is one of only five products in the Product Hall of Fame.

The winner this year, though, is a simple goat cheese. It didn't even make the top five in last year's awards.

Runners-up include the Syrah-soaked Toscano cheese spread and dip, burrata, Toscano cheese with black pepper, and English farmhouse cheddar with caramelized onions (last year's winner for this category).

When it comes to beverages, shoppers love apple cider

Trader Joe's has a robust beverage selection, and that's not even counting its budget-friendly alcohol products.

This year's best beverage is the seasonal spiced cider, a flavored apple juice that hits stores in the fall.

Runners-up in the beverage category include French Market sparkling lemonade, triple-ginger brew (another seasonal product), 100% tangerine juice, and the non dairy, brown-sugar-flavored oat-based creamer.

Bananas were crowned winner of the produce category again

Last year, the bananas at Trader Joe's took over the produce category, dethroning Teeny Tiny Avocados. This year, bananas won for the fifth time, earning them a spot in the Hall of Fame.

Unlike many grocery stores that sell bananas by the pound, Trader Joe's has become known for selling them at $0.19 a banana.

Teeny Tiny Avocados remained in the No. 2 spot this year, followed by Honeycrisp apples, which are also in third place for the second year in a row.

The list is rounded out by the store's Persian cucumbers and the lemony arugula-basil salad kit.

This year's pick for the best appetizer is the creamy spinach-and-artichoke dip

The Trader Joe's creamy spinach-and-artichoke dip won best appetizer, beating out many fan-favorite products.

The appetizer category's runners-up were mac-and-cheese bites, Parmesan Pastry Pups, Greek spanakopita, and vegetable bird's nests with soy dipping sauce.

In Business Insider's own Trader Joe's-appetizer taste test, our food writer Lucien Formichella highlighted the chain's Greek spanakopita as a standout appetizer.

Hash browns won the breakfast and brunch category

Trader Joe's shoppers chose the chain's frozen hash browns as their favorite breakfast and brunch pick. These shredded potatoes are ready quickly, whether they're baked or air-fried.

The hash browns were up against chocolate croissants, almond croissants, the limited-edition double-chocolate croissants, and chicken-sausage breakfast patties.

Last year, the hash browns came in second place for overall best product though they didn't make the top five this time around.

Butter chicken with basmati rice was the top lunch and dinner pick

Trader Joe's may have replaced its entrée category with the lunch and dinner category this year, but the butter chicken with basmati rice won again.

The dish includes cooked basmati rice with chicken and a creamy sauce made with tomatoes and onions.

Other top contenders in the category include chicken tikka masala, steamed pork-and-ginger soup dumplings, vegetable fried rice, and steamed chicken soup dumplings.

Sublime ice-cream sandwiches beat 2 Hold the Cone products in the sweet-treat category

Hold the Cone's mini ice-cream treats won last year's dessert category, but they lost to the decadent Sublime ice-cream sandwiches this time around.

This dessert features two chocolate-chip cookies encasing creamy vanilla ice cream that is rolled in miniature chocolate chips.

The store's mint-chip ice cream took second place, while chocolate-chip Hold the Cone treats finished third and fourth.

The seasonal almond kringle, which came second in last year's sweets category, moved down to fifth this year.

Brazil-nut body butter won the bath, body, and home category

The Trader Joe's Brazil nut-body butter — which some say is a dupe for the popular Brazilian Bum Bum cream — won in the bath, body, and home category.

This moisturizing lotion has scent notes like pistachio and salted caramel — and the smell was such a hit that Trader Joe's made a candle to match it.

The No. 2 spot in the category went to the daily facial sunscreen for the second year in a row. Runners-up also include the coconut body butter, lavender hand-sanitizing spray, and the seasonal eight dripless candles.
