 Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and a very special welcome if you're new here. My name is Jen. I'm a certified weight loss and nutrition coach and today we're gonna talk all about my March favorites. We have WW food favorites, beauty, makeup, fitness, supplements, I've got a lot for you. I tried some really fantastic things in the month of March that I fell in love with. So if you're excited for another favorites video, give this one a big thumbs up. Subscribe if you're not. Turn your bell on because I upload the favorites every month and I actually upload five videos every single week. I will link everything I favorited down below for you with the exception of the foods that you can find at your local grocery store. Any discount codes, all of the information will be in the description box for you. Nutrition coaching where I offer personalized macros and calories. This is what I followed to lose and maintain a 140 pound weight loss as well as one-on-one coaching for questions, accountability or support as well as links and discounts to my other favorite things and come join my free Facebook group. We would love to have you. So let's jump into all of my favorites for March. So the first thing I have to favorite is an app that I've been talking about nonstop since I discovered it and that is the Trainist app. This is an absolutely 100% free calorie tracking app. It is newer to the market. They just released this app not too long ago but they also just made a major update to the app which is completely game-changing. It allows you to track your food, scan foods, build recipes and now they've just added the feature to be able to check in, including photos, logging your way, the option to log your progress. These are new features to the Trainist app that like I said have completely changed the game. And what I love about the app is it's 100% free. There's no ads, it's free to download, it's free to use. So a lot of the other calorie tracking apps do offer a free version but in order for you to get all of the benefits that come in Trainist you typically have to pay for the enhanced version of the app, not with Trainist. It's 100% free and it is the app that I've been using now. Like I said, for quite some time to track my food. I love the feature of being able to track my weight, my progress and even upload progress photos. They are going to be adding some other features to the app over the course of 2024 including being able to set yourself up with a personal trainer in your area for your fitness goals as well. It's just such an amazing app. And like I said, it's 100% free. So I'll make sure that I link the Trainist app down below for you. Definitely check it out, save yourself some money and use an app that will continue to improve all throughout 2024. Next let's talk about WW Foods because I have a lot of them. So I am going to put the points here on the screen for you. We'll talk about the calories as well as I go through the food. So food number one, I saved the box because they're gone. I have literally fallen in love with these sandwiches. I've talked about these also several times over the course of the last month. These are the real good bacon, egg and cheddar breakfast sandwiches. I found these at Walmart. They were on sale for $5 a box. If you watch my grocery hauls, you know that I bought all of the boxes that Walmart had. That's how much I love them. I have three left. So I need to see if I can find these at Walmart. These have 14 grams of protein, 260 calories. And they only have 11 carbohydrates because the bun is actually made of cauliflower but you would never know. It doesn't taste like cauliflower. It has the texture, taste, consistency of regular bread. Love these. I popped them in the microwave for 90 seconds and I have a quick, easy, high protein breakfast. Love, love, love. They also have a sausage one. I have not tried that one. It's more points, more calories and really truly I just love the bacon, egg and cheese. And also in the freezer section by those real good sandwiches, you already know how much I love my premier protein pancakes. You can often find these at Sam's Club and I believe in some Costco's but you can also find them at Walmart. That's where I picked these up. These pancakes have 15 grams of protein. You get three pancakes for 210 calories. If you ate those frozen pancakes as a kid, you know the really, really good ones that were sweet kind of vanilla, that is these, that's exactly what these taste like but you're gonna get 15 grams of protein. This has been another big staple for me. I pair this with some fruit and I put some real butter on there for a healthy fat. Really, really love these. In fact, these two have been my quick go-to breakfast options. You know my love for netrition. I order all of my fiber gourmet pasta off of netrition. Speaking of fiber gourmet pasta, I'm going to pop in a picture because I used my box already but fiber gourmet just came out with lasagna noodles. So they've had other pastas. They have elbows, penne, rotini and spaghetti noodles. Well, they just came out with lasagna noodles and I made us a delicious, hearty comfort food lasagna for dinner one night. Couldn't tell the difference between the fiber gourmet lasagna noodles and the regular lasagna noodles. Half the calories, half the points, packed with fiber, packed with protein. Love them. So add those to your cart on netrition and also add these. Now I don't know if you can find these other places. Again, I bought them off of netrition. I place an order once a month through them. I do have a 10% discount so I always use my discount code to save 10%. But these are the Quest Cheddar Cheese Crackers and Cheddar Blasts. Comes with four little individual serving bags. Love that for me because you can't overeat these and I love cheez-its and I can easily overeat cheez-its like a whole box of cheez-its. These taste just like cheez-its to me. They're salty, they're cheesy and what's great about these is each one of these little packets is 130 calories but has 10 grams of protein. So you're actually getting in some protein and five grams of fiber in a cheez-it dupe cracker. Love these. I also bought the Quest Puffs, the Cheddar Puffs. I prefer the crackers over the puffs. The puffs are good. If you're a Cheeto lover, you'll love the puffs. I prefer the crackers. Love these. I'll definitely be repurchasing. Actually, let's go through the rest of what I got from netrition because there's a few other favorites. Next up are these Pure Protein Popped Chips. Now I love the Popped Chips but they don't have any protein in them. They're really just an empty calorie food and I saw that Pure Protein which is one of the protein bars I really enjoy came out with some Popped Chips. I got the Hickory Barbecue so good. Sweet, tangy, spicy, delicious. 12 grams of protein, 150 calories in the bag as well. These are 100% gluten-free so if you follow a gluten-free diet you can have these look like this so they literally look like the Popped Chips. They taste like the Popped Chips but you're getting 12 grams of protein and a serving is the entire bag. And again, I got these on netrition. Also from netrition's website which if you saw the little taste test that I did when this order came in, this was my favorite thing in that whole haul and it's from Catalina Crunch. These are the Catalina Crunch Pairing. So these are brand new. This is the Blueberry Muffin Cereal with berries. OMG, is this delicious. It literally tastes like a blueberry muffin and in here is the typical Catalina Crunch cereal but also there's little dried blueberries. It smells like a blueberry muffin. It tastes like a blueberry muffin. It's sweet, it's blueberry, it's delicious. I typically don't eat this as a cereal. I usually top my yogurt bowl with this. It's amazing. It's my hands down favorite Catalina Crunch. Now I do have a discount for Catalina Crunch website. I don't know if this is on there. I'm assuming that it is but again, I bought it at netrition. It is new, it's delicious. I need to go see if they have other of these little pairings because I like the dried fruit in there as well. Million out of 10. And then the last thing I picked up on net nutrition order were these beyond twist pretzels. So my good friend Linda, who's in my Facebook group posted about these and I thought I need to try those and they had them on net nutrition because they have everything and I got them and these are really good. So these are low carb pretzels. Two grams of net carbs, 18 grams of protein per serving and it's a good source of fiber. I have the cheddar and sour cream. A serving is 17 pretzels. So it's a lot of pretzels, 120 calories, only six carbs, 18 grams of protein and three grams of fiber. These literally look like pretzels, taste like cheesy sour cream pretzels. So I do taste a little bit of the protein taste in these pretzels. It does contain a wheat protein isolate and a pea protein but not enough to make them not taste good but you do get a little bit of that protein taste but they're crunchy. They're salty like regular pretzels and there's 18 grams of protein. Regular pretzels, zero. Beyond twist, 18 grams. They do have other flavors. I plan on picking those up as well. Now another favorite are these Oikos remix. So I've tried the light and fit. I've tried the Chobani flip and I just recently picked up the Oikos. I like them all, they're really good but the Oikos is going to actually, but the Oikos has a little bit more protein. So each one of these little flips, so it's similar to the Chobani flip. You put the little sweet crunchy goodness on top of the yogurt, you just flip it over. This is the S'mores. It has 11 grams of protein and it is only 120 calories. So good. Just a healthier, higher protein option to the Chobani flip. Less calories, more protein. Any of the brands of these, the light and fit, the Oikos, they're all really, really good. The S'mores is my favorite. It's vanilla, non-fat yogurt with graham cookies, dark chocolate and toasted marshmallow bark. Yes, please, delicious. I love the sweet, crunchy vibe that the topping adds. I've been using these as a dessert and I'm not mad about it. Next up is this. So if you follow me on Instagram, you know that I fell in love with the Starbucks lavender powder that they are featuring this spring. They have a lavender matcha and a lavender cold foam. Well, I've been doing my iced americano with the lavender powder in it and then putting a little bit of half and half and I literally fell in love with it on first sip and I thought there has got to be a way to create this at home and save myself some money. And I found the T-Zone lavender milk tea powder mix. So this is a dupe to the lavender powder that Starbucks uses. It's possibly confirmed that this is the lavender powder that Starbucks uses. They just rebrand it to say Starbucks. That's not confirmed, but that's what I've heard on the TikTok. So I don't know if that's true or not, but I actually bought this off of Amazon. So I will tell you front and center, this has calories, this has sugar, this has points, but if you love the lavender coffee from Starbucks, you can make it at home. So each serving is 30 grams. So that's a good amount. I put that in a 24 ounce cup, plenty of flavor. It does have 130 calories, 25 carbs and 19 added grams of sugar. So one of the main ingredients in here is sugar. It looks like just a milky white powder. It smells like delicious lavender. If you haven't tried lavender, you're not going to drink flowers. It definitely has a little bit more of a fruity taste to it. And then you do get a little bit of floral from the lavender. It's so good. And because this is a milk tea, it's milky and creamy. I love it. I absolutely love it. I will take the points. I will take the calories. I will take the carbs. I'll take the sugar because it's well worth it. And again, I got this off of Amazon. Three Starbucks drinks pays for this entire bag. So I've been making lots of lavender coffee at home. I do have a couple of drink favorites. First up is Joy Burst. Now I found this at Costco. This is an electrolyte water. It has zero calories. It comes in three different flavors. This particular one is strawberry lemon aid. It says renew your mind and body. A premium hydration beverage that has electrolytes, vitamins and focus. Like I said, zero calories, zero points. Love that it comes with the twist top. These are so good. Every flavor is good. I love the peach one, the strawberry lemonade, the berry, they're delicious. They have a lot of vitamins in there, electrolytes. So if you like flavored water but you want it pre-made on the go in a container, you can put the lid back on and save for later. These are great. And like I said, I got them at Costco. Also at Costco are the lemon perfect waters. This is a repurchase for me. I bought a case, love them, bought two more cases on my last Costco trip. They also come in multiple flavors. This is a hydrating lemon water with zero added sugar. It's 100% USDA organic, five calories, zero points. And again, it's full of flavor with zero sugar. Half of a squeezed organic lemon in every bottle. No artificial flavors or sweeteners. And again, it's just a great hydration beverage. These are great to get an extra electrolytes and added vitamins, minerals and hydration. And again, both of these are from Costco. These were actually on sale the last time I was there so they may still be on sale but I highly recommend both of these. And last but not least for W&W foods is something that's a little bit of a sweet treat. This is a Noni's biscotti. Now Costco used to carry Nonis. Fun fact about me, I used to own coffee shops. I actually own coffee shops for over 10 years and we would sell the Costco's Noni biscottis at my coffee shop. Well, I actually found these at Fry's which is a Kroger store and they were Bogo, buy one box, get one free and I fell in love with the salted caramel. You guys, this is so good. It has chocolate on the bottom and then it has little bits of salted caramel in there, just these caramelized bits and some, and a crunchy biscuit. These are about a hundred calories. So not bad at all. A perfect sweet treat, especially if you're craving a crunchy sweet treat. Love these. I am 100% going to buy the salted caramel. Again, I did buy the lemon. I like the salted caramel better but the lemon is also really good. Highly recommend. I do have a couple of supplement favorites that I want to share with you. You know I'm a big proponent of taking supplements. Supplements are designed to supplement what you don't get in your diet especially if you work out or exercise regularly. It's important to take recovery supplements. This is actually almost gone. I just purchased another tub of this. This is from the brand One Up Nutrition and this is the Pure Rebuild. This is in the flavor pineapple. This is a creatine supplement. Everybody should be taking creatine whether you work out or not. But more importantly, if you work out, if you strength train, if you're trying to build muscle, you need creatine. Hands down, the One Up is my favorite. It's flavored so it's great to add to water, helps you get in your water, tastes amazing and you're going to get all of the lean muscle support from the One Up. So it says helps build hard lean dense muscle, supports strength, power and endurance, rebuild and recover from your toughest workouts. There's no calories in this. Zero points, I don't track supplements anyways but I love, love, love the Pure Rebuild. I've tried the watermelon flavor. They have a lot of really excellent options for flavors and they're all really, really good. But please, please get yourself some Pure Rebuild. Definitely recommend the One Up. While you're shopping on the One Up website, they have a great BCAA post workout supplement, El Carnitine, which is a natural fat burner. That's actually what I take before I work out. There's some really great options on the One Up website. I will link my go-to supplements, the ones I have in my house, the ones I utilize daily from One Up in the description box and with that 20% off discount. I use my code when I place my orders as well. Highly, highly, highly recommend the One Up supplements, especially Pure Rebuild. And the other supplement is really exciting. It's actually a new release from American Dream Nut Butter. Now you know I love American Dream Nut Butter. I pretty much eat it. I eat it multiple times per week. I've officially turned my in-laws on to it. They love it. My neighbor loved it so much that when she moved to Guam, she's like, is there a way for me to get American Dream Nut Butter? So they just released a collagen. And let me tell you, this is really fantastic. So I have the vanilla frosting collagen peptides. It is 100 calories, but it contains 18 grams of protein. So it's zero points. They also have a chocolate collagen and a plain collagen. You can bake with this, cook with this, mix it into water, put it into protein shakes. My favorite thing to do with it is to add a scoop to my protein shake. And it's going to add an additional 18 grams of protein, no points and only 100 calories. I love the vanilla frosting. It's just a really versatile collagen. It has the perfect vanilla sweet frosting taste. Kind of gives me birthday cake vibes. Really, really excellent. You can mix it in hot and cold beverages. A lot of times, if I'm just looking for a quick boost of collagen and protein, I'll just put a scoop in with about eight ounces of water, shake it up and drink it. Great way to reach your protein goal. Great way to get in collagen. You need collagen for hair, skin, nails, and skin elasticity. And as you lose weight, you're going to have loose skin. And if you make sure you're taking collagen, you can help prevent a lot of that loose skin and keep your skin with its natural elasticity in place, which is going to help you look less flabby and have that loose skin look a little less terrible as we lose weight. And listen, we'll take loose skin over being overweight any day of the week, but collagen helps and I really like the vanilla one from American Dream Nut Butter. I also have a 10% discount, I'll link it down below. Now let's move into some beauty and makeup favorites starting with skincare. So I've been loving this serum right here from the brand Herbivore. This is the Cloud Jelly Serum. So it is this pink, kind of thick, milky serum. I really like the Herbivore brand and I've been using this as my morning serum and have been loving it. It's very hydrating, layers beautifully under makeup so it doesn't pill or affect your application of your makeup. And I really like it. You can see I've made quite a dent in this. This has become a pretty quick daytime serum favorite. For nighttime, this has been my moisturizer and this is a brand that I've heard mixed reviews about, but I will tell you, this is almost gone and this is fantastic. I don't know much about the other products in the brand, but this one is incredible. This is from the brand Strivectin and this is the Advanced Retinol Nightly Renewal Moisturizer with Retinol Retinol and NIA 114. This is such a good retinol treatment. Retinol is great for anti-aging. You have to also be careful with retinol because it can dry out your skin so make sure you're using a good hydrating, moisturizing serum in the morning as well as a moisturizer, but I haven't really been liking this at night. Within a week, I noticed drastic difference in my skin. It just feels more firm, more plump, less fine lines and wrinkles. This is an affordable way to get in retinol. Highly, highly, highly recommend. You can pick this up at Ulta. I've also been loving this from Glow Recipe. This is the Glow Recipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Gloss Balm. So this is a nighttime sleeping balm for your lips. Now I have been, I've purchased Laneige for a long time, this is a lot better. This stays on the lips longer. I feel like it adds more of a mask hydration overnight. Smells kind of plummy and fruity. It's thick, kind of like a clear balm, so a little bit different to than Laneige. Definitely much thicker, much better product in my opinion, more affordable. Love, love, love this. I actually just bought this because I finished up my other one. This is a new one to my collection. And again, this is a product you can get right from Sephora and it's the Glow Recipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Glip Mask. I've got one hair product and it's actually what's in my hair today. And this is from the brand Pattern and this is their Shine Spray. So I have pretty dry, frizzy hair. I use some type of Shine Spray daily and I alternate between this one and the Rusk Shine Spray. This is really good because it's very, very oily. So if you have dry hair, you're going to love this. If you have oily hair, do not recommend. I would go with a different Shining Spray but a little of this goes a very long way. I've had this for quite a while and that's all that I've used. And I've been using this pretty regularly. I spray two or three pumps in my hands, mush it together and then run it through my hair. It adds the most beautiful shine. It's actually, like I said, what I have in my hair today. It adds a nice shine, takes away all the frizziness. I really, really, really, really love this. And again, I got this at Sephora. I have two makeup favorites. First is this Setting Spray. So this is from the Shot Miss A website, AOA brand. This is literally dollar makeup. This Setting Spray I want to say was $1.50, $1.88. I have never used a Setting Spray that I love more than this one. I was a little nervous about it because it's a matte Setting Spray and I much prefer a dewy, luminizing Setting Spray. Again, I have a little bit drier skin so I want something that's going to add some luminosity but this Setting Spray is a filter in a Setting Spray. I don't know what Voodoo Magic is in here. It's actually the Setting Spray that I have on today so I don't know if you can tell but my base makeup is perfection with this. It literally filters my face. It doesn't mattify it. I don't feel like it takes away the shine. You can see I still have some glow and luminosity to my skin but it adds this filter on my skin that I absolutely love. I will tell you there's quite a few products from the Shot Miss A website, the AOA brand exclusively that I love. Their lip oil, their felt tip liner. I actually have a couple of videos on my beauty channel where I've done full faces of this brand and there's another video coming. That's why I bought this. I'm stocking up. Stocking up, I'm actually hoarding this. I've only been using this on days that I'm filming or days that I'm going out and about or like have an event because it's that good. I want to hoard it until I can place another order. It's so, so, so good. So I'll link it down below and I'll also put some of my other favorite products from the Shot Miss A website. I've also been loving this lip oil. It's the lip oil that I have on today. This is the new hydrating lip oil from ELF. I have mine in the shade Honey Talks. This is the Glow Reviver lip oil. Like I said, this is what is on my lips today. I love the big fat dough foot. It is such a great lip oil. Very hydrating and what I've noticed about this is it stays on a long time. A lot of other lip oils you'll put them on and they'll just dissipate rather quickly. I can eat and drink with this and it stays on my lips and it's from ELF. So I want to say it's like $7. I love it. I have multiple shades. My hands down favorite lip oil. And then last but not least, we'll end out my favorites with the eyeshadow palette favorite of the month. And this was easy, easy, easy. And that's this absolutely stunningly gorgeous palette from Nomad Cosmetics. This is the Ireland Wild Atlantic Way Palette. Now Nomad is what is known as an indie brand. It's an independently owned brand. Not a small business necessarily but it's not owned by a big corporation. So you're not going to find indie brands at stores like Alton, Sephora, Target, Drugstores. They're independent brands. And Nomad is one of my favorites. It's a husband and own wife brand. Their eyeshadow palette quality is exceptional. And this is no lie, the most beautiful palette that Nomad has ever released. And the quality of this is so good. I actually have a full video, full tutorial. You can see me create an eye look with this. But look at this palette. It's green, it's blue, it's neutral. The mattes are buttery, soft and pigmented. The shimmers are absolutely gorgeous. We have duo chromes, multi-chromes. I can't, I can't with this palette. It's so good. It is hands down the best palette Nomad has put out and honestly the best palette I've tried. And I don't know how long. Love, love, love. I do have a 10% discount for Nomad. It's the same discount code I used when I purchased the palette. I'll put it down below for you. But if you love greens, blues, neutral shadows, warm tones or if cool tones, you're gonna love this palette. Highly, highly recommend. So those are all of my March favorites. Holy moly, we had a lot of stuff and I'm telling you all of these things are so, so, so good. So again, I will have everything linked down below for you. That's not found at your local grocery store. Discount codes, all of the information will be in the description box as well as nutrition coaching. Links and discounts to my other favorite thing. Definitely download the free Trainist app and come join our Facebook group. We'd love to have you. Thank you for watching. See you in the next one. Bye.
