: Episode 574 – Anna Vocino joins Vinnie Tortorich to discuss Vinnie’s Energy Shake, a go-to meal that Vinnie whips up in his nutribullet for healthy, tasty, long lasting energy. The two also talk about ‘healthy’ energy bars.
VINNIE’S ENERGY SHAKE
- Vinnie’s ‘fat’ shake is now in Anna’s cookbook
- Here’s a quick thing Vinnie whips up:
- Lots of coconut oil
- Kale
- Chia seeds
- Vinnie lets chia seeds sit in the water so that they get gooey and ‘slurpy’.
- Fresh ginger root
- Half of a 3 inch jalapeno
- Water to help it blend
- Berries are optional (only a few)
- Anna likes it with blueberries
VINNIE’S AEROBICS & MARATHONS
- Vinnie loves to run!
- Now that his shoulder is way better, he can do much more aerobic work
- Ran with Serena, a total of 2 hours
- Check out: “Barkley Marathons” on Netflix
- Only 14-15 finishers in this Marathon
- It is crazy! Like a prison-escape
- Runners who can run Badwater don’t even attempt this
- Only 14-15 finishers in this Marathon
AMAZON WINNER OF THE WEEK
- Dave Dolak won this week!
- He bought through the Amazon link on the website
- He is a super fan
- Getting ready for an ultra-kayak race (100 miles)
- Bought a urine-bag and sunglasses for his race
- He will win some NSNG Carb
‘HEALTHY’ ENERGY BARS
- The only bar that Vinnie really endorses is EPIC Bars
- Kind Bars are basically deconstructed Snickers bars
- 19-23 grams of sugar in a Kind Bar
- 3/5 top ingredients are sugar
- Not awful in an emergency situation, but try to avoid if possible
- “Diet” products are also awful for you because they are straight chemicals which compensates for the lack of calories (maybe even makes it worse)
- Your body still registers this as sugar
