Someone else cooked my food & What I Eat in a day!|Macro Fuel Meals| #MealPrepSunday

Hi friends! So excited to FINALLY share this review and unboxing with you guys! If you follow me on Instagram, Facebook, or even Snapchat then you know all about the stolen camera, the crashing of my hard drive and the many opportunities and work that has taken up so much of my time these last few months. WELL I FINALLY got my new camera will share with you soon and my computer is SEMI working so I was able to upload the video where I received my first ever order of MACRO FUEL MEALS.

THEY ALSO GAVE ME A DISCOUNT CODE for you guys!

USE CODE: SHANA at check out!! If you like videos like this make sure to hit the thumbs up! Thank you for all of your support!! I am excited to bring some new videos to you guys!!! Let's do this!!

HERE is PART 2 where I share A FULL DAY of Eating Macro Fuel Meals, Weighing out my food and portions!

They delivered within a day. Orders are taken Monday through Thursday for Wednesday delivery!

Never did I think I would ever want to order food someone else made for me. For one I like to think of myself as a great cook and secondly I LOVE to cook...I also have had a hard time trusting that the portions and ingredients were going to be as CLEAN as I would like them to be. So when Liz of Macro Fuel Meals reached out I was a little hesitant but decided I would try it out. They were a brand new company so my shipment was among the first ever orders so I knew there were going to be a few things they would need to adjust but I was excited nonetheless.

The box arrived and I immediately opened it as I knew it needed to go in the fridge right away!

A Little Thank You note appeared on the box 

Along with this message xoxo I felt special!

I didn't customize or even request an order for this review but did let her know that I was lactose intolerant as well as I do not eat pork. They sent me a few items to try! They were packed very well minus one that cracked but they have recently updated how they pack it and it is great! 

You can watch my Unboxing and Full Day of Eating with Macro Fuel Meals on my Youtube channel! 

Liz was sweet and sent over the macros for the meals but I also weighed them on my scale to portion out my meals for the day! Everything was spot on!

Here is what was emailed to me!

1. Spaghetti Squash Bowl:

93% lean ground turkey

Baby Red Potatoes

Garlic powder

Pink sea salt

Onion powder

Bartellis organic spaghetti sauce

2. Linguini/Chicken Bowl:

Green Beans 

3. 2 x turkey meat ball (4oz) (93% lean 7% fat ground turkey) Bowl:

seasoned with organic seasoning (we use garlic, and a in house mixture that is called our "burger seasoning")

4. Shrimp tacos (4oz) Bowl:

Shrimp

Two corn tortillas with kale mixture. 

Lime

Garlic

Chili

5. Pancakes: 

Egg, baking powder, organic flour (waffle mixture), Pescience protein powder. I wasn't able to get a picture of everything but every meal was delicious!

I went ahead and re-heated the food on the stove top and it seemed to work out fine!No need to freeze the food either!Just simply put it back in the fridge!

Here are a few of the meals I got pictures of!

The containers are actually microwave safe and dishwasher safe so you can re use! This was the meatballs and noodle with green beans. The meatballs were so good and moist! the hubby liked this one the best! 

My personal favorite was the waffles and NOW they have donuts!!! I promise I will have a few more reviews and blog posts coming!!!

 The waffles can come with blueberries peanut butter , sprinkles! Check out the website for more options! I had the sprinkles recently and they were really good! I toasted them in the oven!!

The fiesta Lime Tacos with Shrimp are so good! the tortillas are delicious!

Now this was pretty delicious and as you can see they add the nutrition on the labels for you! I think they will doit on my customized meals as well!

the hubby and I were both excited to try this as he LOVES carrot cake. 

I LOVED it and he did too. I had a cup of coffee ate this then went and busted out some cardio! Sampson also approved xoxo

Make sure to check out my Youtube channel for a full review of the meals and come back for more as I continue to try all of the food!

Come grocery shopping with me! SAVE-A-LOT

Hi friends! 

So excited to share another grocery trip and haul with you guys! This time I am at a brand new store here in Las Vegas called Save-A-Lot. The location at 6100 Vegas Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89108 just had their grand opening on January 7th! I had never heard of it and was excited to try it out and be a part of the #SaveALotInsiders! Kinda feels like #ThriftersAnonymous should MERGE with Save-A-Lot! haha hmmm I mean I love to cook, I love food AND I am a Thrifter! So it all seemed to fit perfectly! I thought on this first trip I would take you a long and show you what you can find and what you can expect as far as brands and prices. Though prices may vary from location to location. 

 I am gearing up for the #transphormation challenge so I am keeping it really clean and getting ready to lean out for a few photo shoots I have coming soon. I was excited to see how the prices compared to some of my favorite stores here and also see the brands that are exclusive to Save-A-Lot! In a few more blog posts I will share some of my new recipes and what meals I will be making over the next few weeks! Make sure you are following me on Youtube channel as I will share them on there as well! 

ok, let's go shopping!

I was sent $75 for this trip so I was excited to see what I could get, my normal trip costs about $120 to $130!

My first stop was the produce section. It was right a I walked in and I immediately saw how low some of the prices were! 

Below are the items I chose for my weekly meal prep!

Bell Peppers for $1.99 a lb?? I love to add these in my egg white muffins, egg white omelettes, as well as at dinner time with my sauteed vegetables!

Green Beans were fresh and also a great deal! It was 9pm, so I guess my first tip would be try to go in the morning as I am sure they would be more stocked up! But I was able to get what I needed!

I grabbed the last of the broccoli crowns. I like to add about 1 cup of veggies to all my meals! Not only do I LOVE vegatables but they add a lot of volume to your meals, give you energy and will keep you lean all year round. I promise...with all the nutrients not only are they good for you but they will aid in your weight loss journey! 

Strawberries for my late night snack. I like to have 2 to 3 with a rice cake and sugar free preserves!

Bananas were a ridiculous deal! I picked up some of these I like to eat about a half a day for the first couple weeks of my prep!

I have been craving iceberg lettuce lately for my salads and for my tacos I make!

I love cole slaw and I love making salads and stir fry's with this! You can buy all of them fresh but the bag is easier for my lazier days! This is cheaper then the grocery store so that was a good find!

LOVE mushrooms, sauteed in my dinner dishes or in my scrambled egg whites!

Zucchini is one of my favorites and ever since I got this spiralizer contraption I have been addicted to making noodles out of it! I love it with dinner simmered with my protein and sometimes with a carb like brown rice or sweet potato!

Yellow Squash is also amazing! I grew up eating this and continue to make it a part of my weekly meals!

I love cauliflower, as a snack and I am going to try this pizza crust situation! I also like steaming it and mashing it and pretending it is mashed potatoes..haha 79 cents a lb!  

Fresh cilantro 69 cents! I use this on my salads and my tacos! Adds so much flavor!

Roma tomatoes, I will usually chop up a small one for dinner on my salads or even my tacos!

Ginger is so good and I realized I never get it! It was nice to be in a different store it really forced me to look at everything! I will use this in my dishes like my stir fry and even salads!

2 for $1.00 haha these suckers were gigantic!!!!!!!! 3 oz of sweet potato with my dishes is about the serving you want to use! Also weigh it prior to baking to get the serving size correct!

They had almonds and I was out! I like to count about 10 almonds a day for some good fat I like to save them for before my workout or I will even switch it out with peanut butter!

Quick oats! I like to use this obviously for breakfast about 1/3 cup and my protein pancakes!

This wasn't in the plan but they looked so good and for those cravings I thought I would give them a try! I had never tried Nature Trails before so I will let you know how it is!

I didn't get these nuts but I was curious about this brand as it is a Save a lot exclusive J. Higgs

I picked up some more corn tortillas this was a great deal for the amount I got!

 Save-A-Lot offers fresh meat cut in-store daily!

I was able to find some lean turkey and while it isn't the 99% fat free the 93% will do just fine but I will adjust the serving to fit my macros.

They had packaged chicken breasts 2 per pack for $4.01 this was a pretty good deal!

They had a huge selection.

I was so excited to find these thinly sliced chicken breasts almost 2lbs for under $4!! and I love that they are so thin!Great for some of the dishes I have planned!

Now this is not something I would normally buy but I have been craving turkey bacon so I am just gonna have to make it work!

Farmington chicke apple sausage. Enough said. I will be adding this to some of my stir frys for dinner again working in the macros cuz these look delicious!

Now I didn't buy these pizzas but for $6 i just thought what a great deal, they were fresh too!

I always pick up a frozen pack of veggies for those lazy days or nights! Always in case of emergency!

Frozen blueberries is the way to go when making my oatmeal or even my protein shakes! These were a really good price! They can be so expensive in a typical grocery store!

I almost got this but you will see why I didn't in a bit!

This was the most shocking in the whole store...and made me actually say ...WOW I did SAVE A LOT haha Cod is so expensive and $7.99 for this pack was awesome. I also love the serving size of these!

This is a lot of tilapia at a great price, I didn't get it but $3.59 a lb?

Ok this isn't part of my plan but I had to get this for the hubby! He loves flan! and it was 99 cents!

He also loves rice pudding! 

Egg whites by Coburn Farms, I just prefer the liquid though I do buy the cage free whole eggs.

Do you see how big this Tapatio is? but I held back..

I picked up a pack of long grain brown rice for 99 cents!!! what!!!! haha Again SHOCKiNGLY low prices haha See guys no excuse!

and this is why I passe on the other hot sauce. $1.29 for this MASSIVE size of Valentina! YESSSSSS haha 

There were all kinds of goodies in this store! I have always wanted a tortilla warmer!

Traditional candy! 

I thought I would try this brand Kurtz of dill pickles! I love to snack on these!

I love these on my salads!

They had a pretty decent size of spices and they were way cheaper then the grocery store. I love garlic powder in addition to fresh garlic. 

I so wanted to try this stuff! It looks so good! Another Save-A-Lot exclusive brand Panner.

I will use this on rice cakes at night! I don't normally do sugar free but when I am cutting I will use only table spoon this is another Save A Lot brand so I wanted to taste it! 

My bill came to $89!!!! My normal bill is about $120 at local grocery stores and I even purchased items I don't normally purchase! I can't wait to MEAL PREP using these items and I will share some dishes as I go also! Let me know if you guys have been here yet and what your favorite items are from Save A Lot! You can also sign up for the Smart Shopper Club to get the weekly ad delivered straight to your inbox!

I really liked the fact that they have a Save-A-Lot Promise 100% Money Back Guarantee basically it stated that:

Save-A-Lot food stores values customer satisfaction. In case our products don’t meet 

your satisfaction, we offer Save-A-Lot Promise 100% Money Back Guarantee. Please 

bring it back to the store you purchased it from with your receipt to be replaced or

I know that you can do that in a lot of stores, but I love that they advertise this as it makes me feel comfortable and lets me know that at the end of the day, they want you to be happy and satisfied!
