 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 it's Saturday, so it's grocery haul day. I have a pretty good sized grocery haul for you from two stores and I am so excited to share it with you. So if you're excited to give this video a big thumbs up, subscribe if you're not because I do upload a grocery haul every Saturday and five videos per week. All of the points are always included in my grocery haul and we have lots of new food finds. Down in the description box, you'll find nutrition coaching where I offer personalized 2U macros and calories. Cannot recommend this enough, this is how I lost 90 pounds last year and almost 140 pounds total as well as one-on-one coaching if you would like accountability or to chat with me directly. Links and discounts to my favorite things and of course come join our Facebook group. We would love to have you. Everything is linked in the description box for you. So before we go into the kitchen for the grocery haul, I wanted to share with you guys some new glasses that I recently purchased. As I get older, my eyesight gets worse. I have a pair of glasses that I wear all the time but I wanted to have a few extra pairs, one that I could leave in my car, leave in my office. So I wanted the glasses that I chose to not only have my prescription but also be affordable and I discovered Lensmart. Lensmart is amazing. You can purchase just the frames or you can have the lenses customized to your prescription or just order a generic lens if you're someone who just likes to wear glasses for aesthetic reasons or if you need to wear them as you age like I do to read. Now I am very, very farsighted. I literally have to hold things out here to read them so these glasses have been a game changer. I've actually been wearing them for a few weeks now. I really wanted to test them out, see the quality, see how they work, how they hold up before I shared them with you and so far Lensmart has blown me away. So I actually ordered three pairs of glasses and I wanted to share the three that I ordered starting with these fun cat eye glasses. Cat eye transparent glasses for women. The frames themselves are only $9.95 and they actually come in five different colors. I decided to go ahead and go with the clear with this fun kind of gold detailing. These are absolutely beautiful. They fit my face perfectly. I really, really like how comfortable they are. My prescription is perfect, which is something I worried about ordering glasses online versus getting them from the eye doctor and these do not disappoint. And you can't be $10 just for the frame and then of course you can add your prescription lenses to it or just get, like I said, a generic lens. If you're just interested in wearing glasses more for aesthetic reasons, all of the glasses actually come in a really nice case with a glasses cleaner, which I very much appreciate that you can just leave in the case and always have on hand. And then how fun are these? How fun are these? They're kind of a gray pink, more of a cat eye style glasses as well, but the frames are definitely a little bit bigger. These are the layer cat eye gray pink glasses for women. They actually come in four different colors and the frame itself again is only $9.95 and then you can add your prescription lenses. Again, I love the graded pink ombre of these and I like that they're just a little bit bigger frames. They fit my face really nicely and I will say that these are very, very comfortable. These are the ones I've been keeping on my desk and I've been wearing when I'm editing, responding to emails, filming videos and I really have grown to love these. In fact, I think I may even order a second pair with a different frame because they're that incredible. And then the third pair I picked up, I wanted to go with that whole tortoise shell vibe because I really like that look. I like the deeper, darker frames. These are the Deja square tortoise shell glasses. These are actually available for men and women. They're $14.95 for the frame only and they come in four colors and again, mine is in tortoise shell. These are also very comfortable. They're very heavy duty. They're very thick stout but they feel really nice on the face. These are the ones that have been living in my car so at night when I'm driving or even during the day when I just feel like I need my glasses, these are the ones that I have been reaching for. And again, like I said, I love that everything comes in the case with the cleaner so I can just toss the case wherever I need to keep a pair of glasses. And I have been incredibly impressed with Lensmart for an online glasses company. My glasses all came perfect. My prescription is correct. They're everything that I expected. They shipped very quickly and I am impressed with the quality for the price. The quality of these are even nicer than the ones that I got at my eye doctor, which by the way, cost me several hundred dollars. You can't beat the price at Lensmart, the selection. They have so many different glasses, including sunglasses, sport glasses, accessories. They have a little bit of everything on the website. So I will go ahead and link Lensmart down below for you. I will link all three pairs of glasses that I chose in case you really like these and wanna pick them up for yourself. And then of course there will be a discount in the description box as well. So let me pop on my glasses and now let's jump into the grocery haul. So the first part of my haul this week is from Sam's Club. I actually decided to run there mainly for protein shakes and egg whites. And I found quite a few other things, of course, for part of this week's haul when Lola was at chemo. What you don't see is a case of water, a case of Gatorade Zero and a case of Diet Coke. Those are being put away in the garage fridge. So let's jump into the Sam's Club haul. The first thing I grabbed is a big pack of Activia yogurt for Troy. They recommended that he takes this for the probiotics after he got out of the hospital. This one actually has strawberry, black cherry and peach. And it was only $10, which is a really good deal for 24 yogurt. And then I was so excited to see this, the birthday cake whipped topping. This is limited edition from Members Mark. You guys know I like whipped topping on my protein shakes. I also like it on my clean simple eats and non-fat Greek yogurt. Both of these were less than $5. Same macros as regular whipped cream and anything birthday cake flavor definitely catches my attention. I grabbed some chicken jerky for the dogs. They don't have the best dog treats selection there. At least right now, this one is one ingredient, dried chicken, so it's nice and clean for the dogs. And then I did grab some hip and joint as well. I had heard from one of you guys that Costco stopped carrying the eight and one joint supplement that I buy. So this one was on coupon. So I went ahead and grabbed it. We don't go through as many treats or joint supplements now that we just have the two dogs. I grabbed a big case of liquid egg whites. I have been doing a lot of egg whites and making scrambles and high protein breakfast. And when I get back from surgery, I really need to focus on protein. So this is going to come in really handy and it's actually six cartons. And I wanna say it was maybe $10. And then I did a restock of Canadian bacon. Both of us eat this a lot. Three slices is only 60 calories and about 10 grams of protein. So really, really good protein bang for your buck. Now this was new to me. You guys know that I like to buy pre-cooked, pre-shredded chicken, have it on hand. And I saw that Sam's Club had this one and it was much cheaper than the one at Sprouts. It was about $10 for two pounds. It's only 80 calories for three ounces. Now it's not just chicken like the one at Sprouts. It looks like there's some other ingredients in here, but still nothing to be concerned about ingredient-wise. And like I said, much more affordable and convenient because it's ready to go. And then I grabbed pedos again because these were so good last time. They're like a puffed Cheeto with some protein made from peas, really, really delicious. And then this was a new find. This is actually from the Brand Smart Food, which is the low calorie, low fat popcorn. Limited edition Doritos Cool Ranch flavored popcorn. You know we love popcorn in this house. So I thought that we could try that out. And then mainly what I went there for, like I said, is protein shakes. So I picked up two cases. One of the Fair Life chocolate. I really wish they had the Fair Life salted caramel, but I can't find that anywhere. And then I haven't had the cafe latte from Premier for a hot minute. So I grabbed that one. I really liked that one in my protein coffee. I was completely out of non-stick cooking spray and I like the chosen foods better from Costco, but since I was at Sam's Club, I just picked up this olive oil spray. And then just a couple of fruits for the week. I want some pineapple, so I think I'm gonna get that at Sprouts, but I did grab some grapes and then a big thing of really good looking strawberries for the week. So that is everything from Sam's Club. Let's jump into the rest of the grocery haul. So here's the rest of my grocery haul for the week from Sprouts. Lots and lots and lots of new food finds picked up quite a few snap things to take with me next week when I head out for surgery. So let me show you what else I picked up for the week. So I've never seen these from the Lesser Evil brand. You know, this is our favorite brand of popcorn. These are the Space Balls. Cinnamon, sugar, little organic balls made with avocado oil, organic. There are 140 calories per serving, which is 26 of them, which is a lot. So pretty similar to the popcorn. I'm really excited to try these. I thought cinnamon and sugar sounded really good. And then I did grab my favorite popcorn, the Himalayan Salt. That's my favorite from Lesser Evil. Now I tried these. I have these as a little snack when I was out running around. This is amazing. I actually shared it on my Instagram. This is from the brand Carbonaut. This is the Cinnamon Apple Crumble Granola. It is gluten-free, it is low carb. It's actually seven grams of fiber and about four grams of protein. And 160 calories for a third of a cup. So you actually get a good serving. Really, really, really delicious. They had one other flavor at Sprouts. But I'm glad that I got the Cinnamon Apple and I'm planning on taking this with me as a snack on the plane. I also want to make a granola, like a homemade granola. And I have been craving pumpkin seeds. I know that pumpkin seeds are really, really good for you. So I decided to pick some of those up. And then these are some honey roasted almonds. And then I thought that I would throw some dried fruit together and make my own little fruit and nut mixture. And again, something easy that I can take with me. And then of course I picked up my dried mango, which is my favorite thing from Twitter, Joe's and Sprouts. I count this as zero points. It's the same macros as fresh mango. But I am planning on putting together a fun little snack mix. Maybe I'll share that with you guys in the next What I Eat in a Day. And then these are new to me too. These were on a really good deal. This is from the brand Etzels. And these are Smokey the Gouda Pretzels. So there's no corn syrup, no MSG, natural butter flavor, really, really nice, clean ingredients. And I thought that a Gouda Pretzels sounded really good. You can have an entire serving, which is a third of a cup for 130 calories. And again, nice, clean ingredients. Something that doesn't have to be refrigerated that I can take with me. I also picked up my favorite meat sticks. I love the Vermont Uncured Pepperoni sticks. I picked up four because I want to have these on hand. Of course, for snacks before I leave. And then of course, to take with me as well. I picked up a couple of burritos for Troy, just for easy breakfast and lunches, dinners while I'm gone. So first is from the brand Reds. This is the Meatlover Sausage and Egg Burrito. And then I also picked up from the brand Green Chili Food Company, Steak and Monterey Jack. And again, I thought those would be really convenient to have in the freezer for him. And then I saw these cookies and I couldn't pass them up. These are a limited edition flavor from Sproutsies or Peach Crumble. And actually the lady who checked me out said that these are amazing. They're the best cookie that Sprouts makes. So I had to pick those up as well. The big pack of chicken. I've been using this for myself and I actually need this for a recipe. And then we've been giving this to Lola after chemo when she just doesn't want to eat her kibble. We mix it in with her dry kibble and that really gets her interested in food. She usually doesn't eat for a day or two after her chemo treatment. So I went ahead and just grabbed the big pack so I had plenty on hand. These were on sale for 99 cents a piece from the brand Simply Organic. This is the chicken gravy mix. You guys know that I love to make my KFC bowls with the chicken, that chicken and potatoes. So I picked up the gravy mix just so that I could just whip it up really quick at home. And another new food find and something I plan on taking with me is from the brand Nutty Bean Co. These are the Faba beans in salt and vinegar. I love salt and vinegar or anything. And again, I thought great thing to take with me as a snack. 130 calories for a quarter cup or half of the bag and you're going to get seven grams of protein and some fiber. So I'm super excited about those. And then these were in the little clearance section. Never had these as well. I thought that Troy and I could both try these. These are from the brand Pleasy. This one is blueberry blast. It is a prebiotic fiber and electrolyte drink. It's only 40 calories, no fat, 11 carbs, seven or three grams of fiber and no protein. So I thought this would be a good electrolyte kind of prebiotic drink. So I have that flavor, tropical punch and then sour apple. And since premier protein pancakes are no longer a thing at Sam's Club, which I'm pretty bummed about, I saw that Vans makes a protein pancake. These are the chocolate chip ones. They were on sale for 3.99, nine grams of protein per serving. So I'm going to try these. I really liked having those pancakes with fruit and eggs for breakfast. So going to definitely give the Vans a try. These are Troy's favorite granola bar and they used to sell them at Walmart and they don't anymore. So I saw that Sprouts had them. So I picked him up a box. These are the vanilla chip from Cascadian Farm. They're actually really good. They're a chewy granola bar with vanilla chips. We were completely out of light mayo. So I picked up the Sprouts brand. Also out of Dijon mustard. So I grabbed a fresh one. No surprise, my favorite cottage cheese. Unfortunately, they were out of the low fat. So I did have to get the whole milk. It doesn't matter to me. I will eat any cottage cheese as long as it's good culture. So I just picked up one only because I do head out in a few days and I didn't want to have it sitting around. I needed some shrimp for my meal prep recipe and then Sprouts had some great meat deals. So I grabbed a pound of 93% ground turkey. Normally five with 94. I got it for $4.16. Everything's organic, no antibiotics. And then they had an entire roast for less than $10. So I thought that that would be a really easy crock-pot meal and then some organic chicken tenders, $11.46, really great deal. And then of course, lots of produce. Sprouts has my favorite produce. I was so excited that the pineapple was on sale again. I've been loving this on cottage cheese. I've been on a huge pineapple kick and actually my plastic surgeon's office recommended pineapple before surgery because of the bromine in it. So I'll be eating this for the next few days. And then of course my mini cucumbers for snacking and I've been loving cucumber mint water. Baby kale, this is for a recipe. They had their organic blackberries two for five, which is great for organic fruit. So I grabbed two packs. I also needed butternut squash for a recipe and I can't be bothered to cut it out myself. And they had the pre-cut up, pre-pilled, ready to go. So I grabbed that, some asparagus for my meal prep and then some green onions. So that is everything from Sprouts. Let's jump into what's for dinners and what you'll be seeing in Monday's meal prep. So I have a pretty quick menu for the week. Today, Saturday, we'll do dinner. Sunday's Mother's Day. So we're actually going out to a late lunch with my mother-in-law. Monday I'm going to make Southwest Chicken Skillet. You guys will see this in Wednesday's what I eat in a day. And then Tuesday I fly out. So there is no more meals planned for the rest of the week. And then here's what you'll see in Monday's meal prep. Now I am going to meal prep. It'll be a short one, only a couple of days worth of breakfast. So I'm gonna do some overnight oats. Lunch I'm making shrimp bootables. I'm going to just make two, one for Monday, one for Tuesday. And then dessert I'm making protein cheesecake. Troy will eat this while I'm gone. That's why I chose this as my dessert. He loves cheesecake. And I have some fruit that we can put on top. I have whipped cream. So I know that that will get eaten up as well. So you'll see all three recipes in Monday's meal prep. Thank you for joining me for this week's grocery haul. I hope you enjoyed seeing everything I picked up from both Sam's Club and Sprouts. We have pretty good sized haul this week. And I am getting ready this next week to gear up the groceries for Troy as I head out for plastic surgery.
