- What's up, Muscle & Strength?
This is IFBB Pro, Santi Aragon.
And right now, we live in uncertain times.
But the only thing that I'm certain about is getting fed
and not having to deal with going to the grocery store
and social distancing with the masks and all of that.
So, the great thing is is that I have the option
of using an app like Instacart.
I'm gonna go ahead and order all my essential items
and hopefully, I'll get it in within the next two hours
and I can enjoy more Gerber.
(upbeat music)
So, the last time that I ordered Instacart,
they didn't have the brand of pickles that I wanted.
So, they went ahead and they found another brand
and pretty much the same type of pickles.
The thing is is that sometimes they might not have
any type of substitution so it's kind of a letdown.
And then you still have to go to the store
at the end of the day to get, if it's really essential,
you have to get, obviously, pickles are essential.
So, I would have to then go to the store and get it.
But sometimes, they do a good job,
sometimes they don't, but it's just,
this is like the fast food of
what it would be to go to the grocery store.
So sometimes, I've ordered things in fast food
and I don't get what I order.
So, you're kind of just rolling the dice
on this one with the convenience,
rather than having to go to the store.
(upbeat music)
- [Man] What do you need?
- I go, "What's on my grocery list?"
Gerber. (baby coos)
And now, we gotta go with the 16 ounces this time,
not the Santi size because, yeah, I don't want that.
There it is.
Let's get four of those.
(upbeat music)
Let's get some oatmeal, quick oats.
What I would really like is to get a Publix sub,
to be quite honest.
The Publix subs are the best.
All right, some quick oats, we'll get one Publix quick oats.
I already got pickles, so no need for pickles.
I already got Splenda.
Coke Zero, I ran out.
That's like a diet hack that I do
is I always have some type of,
whether it's Coke Zero or Diet Dr. Pepper
or something like that,
which I'll probably get some Diet Dr. Pepper too,
it cuts a sweet tooth.
At the end of the night,
if I finish my last meal and I'm craving something sweet,
it's very, very satisfying if you just down a whole can
of Diet Coke or Coke Zero, whatever you like.
All the bubbles, it'll fizz in your stomach,
it'll make you feel satiated
and it definitely cuts a sweet tooth.
So, I'm gonna get some Coke Zero, Cherry Coke Zero.
And I'll get regular Coke Zero.
- [Man] How many Coke Zeros would you drink a day, two?
- Like one.
Yeah, sometimes when the diet's getting much deeper
and I'm craving more food,
then probably like two, two a day.
It's only on prep.
So, they don't have any Diet Dr., oh, here it is.
Nope, just regular Dr. Pepper.
If that's not there, then I will try Mountain Dew.
Let's see, toothpaste.
We'll get two toothpastes, we brush our teeth a lot.
We have good tooth, teeth, tooth, teeth hygiene.
And finally, we are going to get egg whites.
Hopefully, they have the ones that I like,
which is the yellow one.
And I don't see it.
But I need it.
What's funny is that it's Publix's brand,
yet they don't show that they have it,
but it is a Publix's brand item.
(upbeat music)
Maybe it's Egg Beaters.
(upbeat music)
Egg Beaters.
(upbeat music)
Yes, found it.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
We eat a lot of eggs here.
Six, okay.
- [Man] So, you don't buy any meat right now?
- No, no the good thing about being sponsored
by MegaFit Meals or getting a company
that supplies you with your weekly meals is
that you don't actually have to buy meats
and prepare 'em and then thaw 'em out
and then put 'em in the freezer or anything like that.
So, not only does it save a lot of room
in my fridge for other things,
it also saves a ton of time with meal prep
so I can concentrate on sleeping (laughs),
I can concentrate on clients
and I can concentrate on the Paragon brand,
rather than being stuck in the kitchen
and preparing all my meats.
So, these are all the essential items that I need for now.
I'm gonna go ahead and place the order
and hopefully, it comes in within at least two hours
and that I don't get any text messages giving me bad news
that they don't have what I want because I want what I want.
- [Voiceover] One hour later.
- I got a special delivery from Ryse.
The brand-new Loaded whey protein meal replacement bars.
So, this is definitely a meal replacement,
this is not a in-between snack.
I wouldn't consider it an in-between snack,
maybe in the off-season,
but definitely when you're not in contest prep.
And we are going to take a bite of one.
Just a bite, just a bite.
Actually, really nice branding.
This is what you get right here, it's nice and soft.
We're gonna go with the smell test first.
(wrapper crackling)
This actually looks pretty moist.
It looks moist, some people don't like that moist word.
It actually smells pretty good.
- [Man] So, you can't have a full one right now?
- I will not, I will take a bite
and I'll take a bite right here.
(upbeat music)
Good texture.
You definitely don't taste the artificial sweeteners
like you do in other brands that would taste very fake.
I'm actually gonna take a bite out of this one too.
The flavor is very subtle.
So, it doesn't explode in your mouth with flavor,
which again, most of these brands
that make these it's filled with artificial sweeteners,
which I'm happy that this one does not have.
I'm gonna definitely put this in my gym bag
so if I get caught up in traffic,
this is definitely a great meal replacement
to go with my off-season.
Won't eat this for a pre-contest
because I'm very strict on my diet,
but for off-season, this is going to be a staple.
(air whooshing)
We're back from filming by the pool.
I got a little tan, I think.
But we got our Instacart and they got everything correct,
I think, as of right now.
So, let's see what's in the bag.
We got quick oats, needed those for my meal, one.
How do you think I get a smile this white?
(bell chimes)
With all this toothpaste.
They got the correct normal, human-size Gerber.
One, two,
three, four.
With the amount of Gerber that I eat,
this will probably last me a good two days.
- [Man] Dude, really? (baby coos)
- No, that's like a week.
Got my diet soda, regular Coke Zero.
Cherry Coke Zero.
What else have we got?
Over here, we got my Mountain Dew Diet
and all my egg whites.
One, two,
three, four,
five, six.
And this concludes the new normal,
the new normal way of shopping.
Thank you, Instacart.
I'm gonna put this in the fridge and I'm gonna eat it.
