I mean, how fun, y'all.

I'm picking up my first Azure Standard haul

and going to show you what I bought and why it's better than what you can get at the grocery store.

I seriously wish I had not put this off so long now.

All right, this is all I got from my Azure Standard,

the first order I've ever made.

I actually really enjoyed that process.

The kids loved it.

My son wanted to go pick up more

so I think we'll get there early next time

so he can enjoy it yeah such a fun process

and you feel a little bit more connected to your food like getting it out of the truck

but I want to talk to you a little bit about why I did Azure

and why each of these products I've most of them I put a lot of thought behind kind of

when I went into it

because the website can be a little overwhelming I kind of said you know what do I buy at Costco

because we go there often and buy in bulk

and we're what am I not just really happy about out

one of the big reasons I wanted to do this is

because

when I go to the grocery store like even like a Whole Foods the whole wheat flour there's really not

that much to choose from and it's pretty expensive like I don't even know the berries

that go or the actual wheat berries that go into it

so I'm just that's really what brought me here

and the milk I was very curious to try this Alexandra

milk the vat it's a vat what do you call it vat pasteurized

so that's really what brought me here but I found a lot of other good things that I can't wait to explore.

I thought I'd just walk you through why I chose to go for this product.

Sometimes it's price, sometimes it's quality,

but I will say I don't think it's like significantly cheaper

because you do have to pay for shipping so

that comes into it but I do think you're getting better quality with a lot of products.

The first thing I'm excited about is I finally got a Nutramil over here.

I'm so excited to start using that but I didn't know it came back.

I didn't buy it before I did this order.

So that's one of the downsides is you kind of have to like,

there's a drop dead date.

And then it was, I think almost like a week

and a half to two weeks until I actually went and picked it up today.

So you just kind of have a plan ahead,

but I'm definitely going to order my whole,

you know, wheat from there and grind it myself from now on.

I don't really know where else to get it from.

So, but now I have some pre-grinded whole wheat flour.

I got whole red wheat.

I got a 10 pound bag of that.

I think this was $14, which is a good deal for whole wheat flour.

This is way better.

It's probably similar to what I'm getting at Whole Foods,

but I think I get a five pound bag for like $13.

So this is nearly half off buying it here.

I got also whole white,

actually, you know, whole white wheat might be what I'm more buying at Whole Foods

and this is a similar price a little bit less

but this I'll tell you a little bit difference about them if you don't if you don't know.

Whole White Wheat is a little bit softer lighter sweeter.

It's really good to use in more like pastries, pancakes, cookies.

That's what I'm planning to use this in kind of probably

what we're already buying at Whole Foods for a Whole Wheat flour but I'm curious to find out the difference.

And then Whole Red Wheat is a little bit more robust

nutty flavor that's more better for breads you know bagels any

sort of like you know heartier bread this is what I'm going to use this in

and we do go through a lot of bread

so I go through more bread than I do this stuff

so I think it's actually good this is cheaper this was yeah I think only like 10

or 13 dollars for this large 10 pound bag so those are my flowers I got

I can't wait for these I we love egg noodles

and these look like legitimate like

when you go to a real old school German restaurant how they look

so I can't wait to do some like chicken

and noodles with these gonna be so good I'm curious to see how

that turns out I got some coffee this is I think

pretty much one of their brands it's supposed to have none of the mold in it

which you can buy a lot of places now

but it seems like most places you have to buy it from like an online shop so

it's nice to buy it from like a central place where I'm already getting other things.

I'm curious to see how this impacts us and whether

that has a difference on how coffee does

because I am a little bit more sensitive to coffee even though I really love it.

This is not cheap though.

I think this was about $20 for this normal bag

but we don't drink that much of it anymore so hopefully quality is worth it.

Another thing that drawn me to this is the chocolate chips.

so chocolate chips you really have to do your research on

these um not every chocolate chip is made the same

and you can tell

that usually by price i feel like there's a very similar

one whole foods this is smaller than i thought it was i'm not gonna lie

so but we don't use them that much and my kids love them

so i think it's worth it

but this is just cocoa mass cane sugar sugar cocoa powder and cocoa butter so basic ingredients.

If you read a lot of the labels,

it's not going to have that.

It's going to have a lot higher sugar content.

Sometimes it has some filler stuff in there.

So just beware.

I think they even had like a cane sugar,

not cane sugar, a coconut sugar version on here if that's something you're interested in this is the chocolate chips bittersweet.

I got these fruit bites.

100

It comes with mango, coconut.

101

I just thought they'd be,

102

I don't know, I found them like,

103

oh we love some dried fruit.

104

Looks like good for a snack for me and the kids,

105

so I can't wait to see what these taste like.

106

And I got some oats.

107

Yes, they're great.

108

This is a big bag of oats.

109

I think more than I get at Costco.

110

let me check the price okay I didn't write down the price

111

but I wrote down significantly cheaper so I think this is maybe the thing

112

that surprised me the most

113

when it come to price I usually buy these at Costco I think for like $15

114

and it's not this bag of a bag

115

but I think this was below 10

116

if I'm not mistaken I got these to go in granola you know make oatmeal with

117

and I also got these rye flakes which were also really cheap

118

and they have also their own benefits compared to oats it's very similar in texture

119

and also something great to fill like meatloafs with or anything

120

that needs breadcrumbs this sort of this goes really good in

121

so and a little bit more nutrition

122

and then i don't have to worry about always making my own breadcrumbs i don't mind doing it

123

but it takes a lot of effort to make bread

124

and then takes a little bit effort to turn them into breadcrumbs

125

so I look forward to kind of going to this in

126

the future all right the next thing I'm super excited about is this milk as I said

127

so I usually go to Walmart that's the cheapest place I

128

can find the grass-fed milk I usually it for about seven

129

dollars this was a little under nine for you know I

130

don't think 1.5 quarts I don't think that's quite the same

131

amount I don't check okay they're not the same this is 48 ounces

132

and this is 59 ounces

133

so i guess this is definitely more expensive what really drew me to this is you can get alexandra farms

134

and maybe whole foods or some others

135

but it is the ultra processed not ultra pasteurized kind this is the vat pasteurized

136

which i cannot find anywhere near me the difference is vat pasteurized it heats it to a lower temperature

137

it takes them about 30 minutes they do this over ultra

138

pasteurized they're going to heat it to a higher temp in like a matter of two minutes

139

and then it goes into these and it's done

140

so obviously this takes longer probably also as part of the

141

cost the difference is this pretty much kills everything in it

142

so you're not going to get anything bad

143

but you're also not getting any of the good benefits

144

that come from milk of the cow right

145

so you're killing off some of the proteins and enzymes all of them here we're here

146

you're maintaining some of them while killing the pathogen.

147

So it's kind of like in the middle of the raw versus ultra-pasteurized debate,

148

which I would love to drink raw milk and bring it into our family now that,

149

you know, I don't have super young kids and try it,

150

but I just, it's not practical because there's not a farm near us.

151

It's like an hour away is the only like sharing farm I can get a part of,

152

unfortunately, but hopefully that'll change one day.

153

I am going to do a taste test between these

154

because I can't wait to see if I can actually tell the difference in how these taste.

155

So I got grass-fed and one they call not grass-fed.

156

From what I read online,

157

both are very much grass-fed.

158

Just during some of the late winter months,

159

some of the cows are taken inside to preserve their pastures while some remain outside.

160

I think that's what I understood it to be.

161

So very much grass-fed, usually a little bit cheaper,

162

but when I went to buy this,

163

they were both the same price,

164

so I went more with this,

165

but I just kind of wanted to compare.

166

The difference you will see between these is they won't put like a number of milk fat.

167

He'll just say six percent milk fat so you know you're getting a certain amount of fat in the milk here.

168

It's just going to kind of fluctuate because the cows are completely grass-fed

169

so obviously

170

if it's more winter time it's going to be a little

171

bit harder to get a higher milk just kind of like eggs producing.

172

They are natural animals not machines so that's the only downside of this.

173

You might get a little bit lower fat but that's not really

174

that big of a deal you can go online

175

and see what you know this batch of fat was I will say I was a little worried

176

because online they say

177

that it can go bad before it gets to you this one I have a solid like 15 days

178

so I'm not really worried about drinking this I got the

179

cream revy with cream this you know I got two of these I almost wish I would have got more

180

but this is the only one of the very few whipped creams that doesn't contain what is it

181

this is what i get at the grocery store usually and all of these will always contain gelatin gum.

182

They say it's safe for you, but can it be?

183

And, you know, like probably okay in small doses and fine.

184

But I'm always like, this is ingredients, 100% organic cream.

185

So that's the big difference you're buying here.

186

And is this fat pasteurized?

187

I'm not even sure how they pasteurize this one.

188

I didn't look into that.

189

You can freeze these.

190

so that's why

191

if it was going to be close to the date this

192

one's a little close to the date I might use these

193

and maybe freeze these you can freeze them it's fine directly

194

in the bottle put them in the freezer they do turn a little yellow

195

and you can read about this on the azure standard website under this product

196

but you know you take it out it'll taste just as good I'm

197

so excited for these I'm going to make some ice cream

198

out of this soon I just made some strawberry jam and it's going to delicious in there.

199

I just looked it up.

200

This is vat pasteurized and a higher milk fat too than most grocery stores and usually around 35 to 36.

201

This is 40%.

202

So I also wanted to maybe try this with some sour cream.

203

My homemade sour cream hasn't really turned out that good

204

and I've read it might be because of the fat content

205

and this was around $7 where a whole food similar that is still pasteurized, ultra pasteurized was $10.

206

So I actually think this is a good deal.

207

I'm going to buy more of it next time

208

and I've got not that long to use it so I want to freeze one of those.

209

I also got some queso from this brand that's really good just craving some queso.

210

I love queso.

211

Don't know if it's healthy but when I'm eating queso I'm not really expecting it to be healthy either.

212

Got this sour cream.

213

We got two of these sour creams.

214

The Nancy probiotic sour cream.

215

It was a little over four dollars because it was on sale.

216

I think 20% off so a pretty good deal.

217

I think this is more than five dollars at Whole Foods

218

when I get it there

219

and you know we eat this all the time like my

220

kids love sour cream I love sour cream I love like

221

a French onion dip with some vegetables you know Mexican food you know I this goes in our ranch

222

that I love to make and go on salads

223

so could easily have bought more of that

224

but kind of wanted to keep the price to a certain amount

225

which I spent a lot on butter we go through a

226

lot of butter family loves butter baking you know I just use butter a lot

227

because I don't use oils

228

so this actually butter can be a tricky one I would recommend you really looking into your butter

229

and what butter you're using maybe not the butter you think you're using is actually

230

that good we usually you get the Kerrygold from Costco I

231

think is like a three-pack same size for $16 this worked out to be about the same price I remember

232

but of course in bulk it kind of hurts

233

when you see it together I'm going to I think I

234

got plenty of time on this yeah June I don't even know

235

if I'll freeze it because I think we'll actually go through it all no problem

236

but first thing about butter Karagold is actually good

237

because it doesn't contain there's some sort of acid I'll look

238

it up I can't remember off the top of my head

239

but often brands claiming to be like creamy or good they all

240

if they have this acid in them then they're skipping some of the culture steps to get it

241

you know faster and you should avoid that this does not use

242

that and I use Oasis now I used to use yucca

243

but I've actually found Oasis is

244

so much better for going from good to great quality products

245

yucca would kind of tell you it's got any additives but

246

when you're looking at something like butter it's like butter

247

so they're not gonna say it's got an additive in it

248

but they're not all created equal this is organic mostly pasture fed

249

which Caregold is not organic

250

and they're a little questionable on how much their cows are actually grass-fed

251

so this seemed like the best and it was around the same price

252

but this is higher in fact than what you'll see in most grocery store even like Kerrygold.

253

Kerrygold now uses I think a skimmed milk powder

254

which I don't know why it's not really a bad thing for you

255

but it's not as good of a product like this is pure butter,

256

organic, mostly grass pasture raised.

257

So I think about one of the best I can get and I'm not paying that much more for it,

258

especially buying it in bulk.

259

And I got some sourdough.

260

I love this pasta.

261

It was a little bit cheaper to buy it in bulk here than I usually get it.

262

My kids love pasta.

263

We love pasta.

264

You know, hopefully one day I can start making it,

265

especially now that I have like whole wheat flour.

266

That would be great, but this is a nice backup.

267

I got some chips.

268

I just love these chips.

269

It's a nice snack.

270

They're a pretty good deal,

271

and I like that it's like a good deal with a smaller bag because we don't eat them all the time.

272

I got some oranges.

273

I just wanted to try out what the fruit was like.

274

They look pretty good.

275

I'll have to taste them to see what I think,

276

but price difference wasn't really that different than what I normally buy a big bag of oranges for,

277

but just wanted to give it a shot.

278

I do need to look more in the like produce.

279

They didn't have much meat, unfortunately.

280

I was a little disappointed.

281

And the last thing I think here is cheese.

282

They have so many good cheese options.

283

So many raw cheeses that I'm going to try next time.

284

But this time I just kind of went with you know this brand same as the butter.

285

It was really good.

286

Some cheddar cheese.

287

Some mozzarella organic.

288

You know 100% grass-fed mozzarella to go in our pizzas.

289

And a classic Jack.

290

My my oldest son loves this 100% grass-fed hard to find at the grocery store this is cheaper here

291

and so many good raw milk options i mean raw cheese options

292

that i want to get and it's just

293

so hard to find grass-fed cheese

294

and you know the only bad thing i think about these

295

is i'm still you see all over now about pfizer using

296

you know how they make cheese is not really the way you should be making cheese.

297

I don't really know the details of it,

298

but I really want to try to start making our own cheese soon.

299

That's something I've got because my youngest son really loves cheese,

300

eats so much of it,

301

and I'm a little concerned about the things they're using,

302

the enzymes to turn it into cheese.

303

They're not using a natural one, so I don't know.

304

I have to do a little bit more research on that.

305

I don't know a good app for that yet because these just say enzymes,

306

so you have no clue besides going into each individual brand.

307

What a most...

308

Oh!

309

How could I forget?

310

Two things I buy at Costco all the time, maple syrup and honey.

311

The reviews on this maple syrup are great.

312

The price was about the same.

313

I don't think it's the same amount of like fluid ounces,

314

but when I did like the average,

315

it worked out to be the same organic you know grade a dark super good I don't know

316

if it's going to taste that much different

317

but I'm looking forward to trying that

318

and honey this one's I think worked out to be around

319

the same price as what I buy from Costco it's not local

320

but it is raw it is organic

321

which it's really hard to have certified organic honey in the US apparently

322

because it's hard to find places to culture the bees away

323

from any like vast you know agriculture that's going on

324

so they get this from somewhere in South America probably somewhere

325

in the forest right where it's away from agricultural you know use

326

and can certify it organic so I'm excited about this also love

327

that it comes in a jar can reuse the jar for other things I'm really excited for

328

that and see how that tastes we all love honey I think my first thing I'm going to make is some

329

sourdough discard chocolate chip cookies.

330

I think I'm pretty much going to use everything here,

331

the butter, the chocolate chips, the honey.

332

I'm going to use the whole white wheat.

333

I can't wait.

334

And a little bit of milk too as well.

335

I'm going to do a little taste test on these two to see

336

if I can taste the difference between this and my normal milk.

337

All right, I'm not hungry at all,

338

but I'm gonna do this anyways just a little taste test between the two let's see if I can tell

339

mark the bottom

340

of each

341

glass you

342

can definitely tell one looks more creamy I don't know

343

if you can see it but one's more of a clear white

344

and the Alexandra looks a little bit more like creamy interesting I didn't expect

345

that so the visual might be a little hard let's just close my eyes forget which one's which

346

that's different yeah this is the horizon yeah

347

it almost tastes like cream

348

but not thick that's exactly what it tastes like it's just like creamer

349

but just not as thick not as sweet this tastes like normal milk clearer still got a nice sweet flavor

350

but it doesn't have that creamy taste to it at all um actually kind of shocked and you know

351

like the health benefits of these.

352

I wonder what raw would taste like, right?

353

That's delicious.

354

My son's going to love that for his bottle I'm about to make him,

355

but, um, or his sippy cup.

356

I know no more bottles.

357

He's too old.

358

I hope you enjoyed that.

359

I hope that was something helpful.

360

I'm really excited for this and about buying more from them.

361

All right.

362

I'll see you in the next one.

363

Thanks for joining.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
