So head on over and join us there. I have to say I'm excited I'm a little intimidated for this video. I'm hoping I can find everything I need at my local Dollar Tree So let's see how it all plays out We're here. Let the adventure begin I'm hoping to find an entire day's worth of food breakfast lunch dinner and snacks all from the Dollar Tree Now, I know that they're not going to be the best ingredient items They're not going to be whole food or organic But we're going to do our best to stay within our calories and points and make the healthiest options that we can A full day of eating from the Dollar Tree. So I have my mask. So let's go in and see what we can find We've secured the goods 13 dollars So for breakfast, I decided to make oatmeal. I thought that this would be really easy and delicious So I picked up these quick cook oats as you saw and I ended up getting a bag of frozen peaches It just sounded really good in the oatmeal and then I'm just using some cinnamon that I had in my pantry I'm going to add half of a cup of oats and one cup of water to a bowl I'm also going to add about half of a bag of the frozen peaches Pop it into the microwave and let it cook until it is cooked all the way through And then I'm going to top it with some cinnamon. Oh my goodness. I can't wait for this I wanted to share with you a company called lily silk. They reached out and offered to send me some silk Pillow cases, which is something I've been wanting for a very long time and just never invested in So I actually ended up ordering pillowcases Hair scrunchies and the sleep masks. So first I want to show you guys the pillowcases. They're absolutely Beautiful, you're able to choose the size of pillow that you want They have all five sizes including toddler small standard king and queen And it comes in several colors ten different colors for the pillowcases to be exact They are silk with a hidden zipper eco-friendly non-toxic and they have a thread count of 400 So I ended up going with the chocolate brown color. I also picked up the silk sleep eye mask with black trim Of course, I went with the pink color, but it does come in nine different colors It's one size fits all high quality pure mulberry silk because it's hypoallergenic and anti aging I also wanted to get some silk scrunchies to sleep in Traditional hair ties are very bad for your hair. It pulls it tugs and silk is really the best option When it comes to keeping your hair in its best shape overnight and this came with four different sizes You can simply pull it out of your hair and it doesn't get caught and it doesn't cause any type of breaking I will link lily silk down in the description box with a 15% off code for you. So definitely check them out For my morning snack, I picked up this bag of popcorn. I thought this was a great find at the dollar tree 140 calories and it was actually delicious and it was the perfect morning snack because honestly the oatmeal count me super full Here's my dollar tree lunch for today. I'm going to make a cheese pizza So I picked up these two ultra thin pizza crust fun size Make your own masterpiece for a dollar not bad at all I did go ahead and grab a jar of pizza sauce and then they didn't have any shredded cheese So I picked up the pepper jack cheese and I'm just going to slice it up myself one ounce of it to go on to My pizza. So let me put my pizza together. I'll be back to share it with you And then I'll talk to you about the points in today's lunch So from the dollar tree, I picked up this pariet with lime I added just some ice cubes to my mason jar and I'm going to sip on that sparkling water with my lunch Alrighty, look at this amazing pizza. So this is my lunch and then my lime pariet is delicious You guys it's been years since I've had pariet and I really really like it So the points for my pizza are four points for the entire crust, which is not bad Four points for the cheese and one point for the sauce. So it's a nine smart point pizza It looks incredible. It smells incredible. And then of course my pariet is zero Hey guys, I just finished my lunch. Let me just tell you how amazing this pariet water is I don't know why I don't buy this other than the fact that it has natural flavors It's delicious and my pizza was so so good I can't believe how delicious and filling all of my meals have been today I will say that I wish that I would have bought something to pair with the popcorn Just because popcorn only has about three grams of protein So it doesn't keep you super full But it was the perfect little snack between breakfast, which was very filling and delicious and my filling lunch I have a little bit heartier afternoon snack planned. I am also drinking my gallon of water today I'm about halfway done with that. I just wanted to treat myself to this pariet with my lunch But before I continue cleaning my house because that's what I'm working on today I wanted to take my probiotics I showed you guys this in my last what I eat in a day video and I got a lot of questions on this This is actually the thrive gut health. I did a whole video on this and what I eat in a day But you can have your gut health tested They'll come back let you know the status of your gut and its health And they'll recommend your personalized probiotic based on your gut health Highly recommend you guys and right now the test is 50 off. So I will make sure it's linked down below But once I did the test I did it and my husband did it We both had different results. We both were deficient in different gut bacteria So this is my personalized probiotic. I ended up ordering a three month supply This is actually my second bottle and it is just about gone and then I have one more bottle Yes, I will keep repurchasing this and I plan on retesting my gut health about six months down the road So again, I'll link it down below. I'm going to take my probiotics for today I kind of wanted to give you an update kind of on how my day is going so far My plan is to at the end of today's video give you a recap on my overall thoughts of eating a full day From the Dollar Tree We're going to talk about my points and my calories at the end of the day and how I felt as far as Satisfaction how I thought the food tasted and if I would repurchase any of these items again as we know The carrier is a definite yes It's afternoon snack time. So I picked up this little pack of beef jerky. It is one point for the pack 60 calories This is the original they actually have quite a few little miniature packages of beef jerky for a dollar Which is not bad And then I also picked up this three pack of the frigo cheese heads original string cheese Not light cheese. I generally don't eat that anyways and you got all three of these for a dollar So i'm going to have one cheese stick and my little pack Of jerky for my afternoon snack for dinner tonight. I'm making a kfc bowl dollar store style So here is the four items you'll need for tonight's dinner some mashed potatoes I know this one says and gravy, but I don't know how much gravy is in there So I actually bought a can of the Campbell's beef gravy as well I want there to be a lot of gravy in my bowl and like I said, I've never bought the potatoes before So i'm not a hundred percent sure how much comes in there and then for our chicken I picked up these fully cooked chicken nuggets from kach foods You can have four of them for the smart point So i'm going to air fry up four for myself and the rest i'll put into my husband's bowl And then a bag of corn because no kfc bowl is complete without corn So let's make tonight's dollar store dinner. So here are our chicken nuggets So you actually get quite a few for a dollar. So i'm just going to pop those Into my copper chef little mini air fryer. I love this for one or two people And then we'll get this going at 400 Just until our nuggets are cooked through i'll make sure I link my air fryer down below Our potatoes are 230 calories for the entire package And my plan is is we are going to split These potatoes. So let's just take a look at what they look like So i'm glad that I bought a can of gravy because that is not very much gravy But I am actually going to pop these into the microwave I'll throw the corn in a microwave safe bowl We'll open up the can of gravy and get it warmed up as well. So here are the potatoes This is not a bad amount at all especially for one person I did stir in the little bit of gravy. They smell really good So I have my bowl here and I have a bowl for my husband as well So i'm going to split up the mashed potatoes. So there's the mashed potatoes split between our two bowls So that is a pretty good amount considering we're adding our corn chicken nuggets and gravy And I also pulled out the leftover pepper jack cheese from lunch If you wanted to add cheese because I know the regular kfc bowl does You could always use some of this leftover pepper jack I'm going to skip the cheese just so that I can stay within my points But that's definitely an option because there's plenty of cheese left. We've got corn So i'm going to add about a half of a cup of corn to each bowl All right, and the nuggets are done too. These actually smell and look really good So i'm going to chop up four nuggets for my bowl and then i'll put the rest on tori's bowl Look at this. This is looking good. That's four nuggets And then I just pulled my gravy out of the microwave I'm going to drizzle a little bit of it on top and I'll be back to share points and calories And here is my dollar mock kfc bowl. I have to say this looks pretty good I paid four dollars for all of the ingredients. I have enough to make a bowl for troi I'm going to also have extra gravy and extra corn. So you can't beat it So this works out to be nine points total four points for the chicken four points for the mashed potatoes Zero for the corn and one for the gravy not too shabby. I have to say All right guys, it is the end of today's what I eat in a day Dollar tree edition and like I said, I wanted to kind of recap how my day went I am going to insert some photos from my tracker We're going to talk about breakfast lunch snack dinner as well as points and calories Like I mentioned, my breakfast was very good. It was very very filling Which was surprising because there's not a lot of protein in my breakfast Which normally I try to have about 20 grams of protein for breakfast alone But I felt full and satisfied as you saw I had coffee as well that I wasn't purchased from the dollar tree And like I mentioned, I did incorporate some seasonings and spices as well that I have on hand It just didn't make sense for me to buy all of that when I have it all on hand And you should have spices and cooking spray and things in your kitchen already as well So breakfast was delicious. I do wish that the dollar tree had organic oats But it was really really delicious and I would definitely make that again In fact, I definitely will make that again for my morning snack. I have the skinny pop It was really good not as filling as I normally would like to incorporate into a morning snack But you can't beat that bag for just one dollar for lunch. My pizza was fire It was So so good and even though I couldn't find any pizza toppings at the dollar tree Just having the cheese on there was so good and satisfying and filling I definitely felt full didn't need any more food. Loved having my line pariet with that I ended up drinking that entire bottle and my gallon of water throughout the day today So it was a success from the pizza and it was a success on all of my fluids for today The pizza was really good. That crust was delicious. The sauce the pepper jack cheese was really delicious And I wanted to also say that I chose pepper jack so that it would add a little bit of flavor To my pizza since I couldn't find any protein based toppings I would buy all of that again and I would eat that on a regular basis for an afternoon snack I had a little bit more protein packed snack, which I definitely needed I had a bag of the auberto jerky and a cheese stick. It was a perfect snack It was light, but it was packed with protein and definitely helped me over until dinner And then for dinner, we had those bok kfc bowls. That was really really good The chicken nuggets were delicious. The potatoes, they reminded me a lot of the bob evans potatoes And that pack was a perfect amount for me to split between choray and myself We actually had leftover corn and leftover gravy from dinner In addition, I also have leftover cheese sticks and leftover oats So I could definitely eat almost another entire day on what I purchased for today's full day of eating Definitely good filling satisfying comfort food. Definitely definitely enjoyed dinner One thing I will say is that I wish that I would have purchased something for dessert So next time I definitely will do that because although as you can see, I used all of my points today 32 out of 32 I was only at 1244 calories. Now that is extremely extremely low for me I like to eat between 17 and 1900 calories a day And the reason for that is the reason I always talk about on why most people that follow Under eat in their calories and that's because what I ate today was a lot of what you would call processed foods They were also foods that were low in calories, but high in points and in addition to that I didn't eat a single zero point food today Oh, I take that back my peaches were zero points and my corn So I did actually have peaches and corn that were zero points But the majority of my food was all pointed and processed so that definitely ate up my points rather quickly So what would I do next time if I do another what I've eaten a day from the dollar tree? Definitely let me know down in the comments if you want to see that I would definitely make sure I get a dessert and I would also try to focus on Zero point foods if I can find them or maybe lower pointed foods to see if I can get in a little bit more Calorie during the day and stay within my 32 points, but it was really fun I enjoyed it. It was a challenge to find my meals and like I said I have plenty of things left over to even create extra meals So don't forget to leave down in the comments If you want to see more of these what I eat in a day dollar tree edition Thank you for joining me on this what I eat in a day dollar tree edition You guys this was a lot of fun. It wasn't been challenging at my store finding food It wasn't that they didn't have a lot of options It was just trying to make choices that would fall in line with ww and in line with calories It was definitely fun and I absolutely would love to do this again So if you want to see that definitely leave it down in the comments Don't forget to thumbs up this video if you enjoyed it And of course if you're new or you're not subscribed definitely take a moment subscribe Ring the bell next to it.
