Episode description

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara go shaker-to-shaker in the ultimate protein shake showdown. From mix ratios to mouthfeel (yes, we said it), we're taste-testing what happens when your post-workout shake leans more pudding than pourable. Caleigh’s got thoughts, Sara’s got protein math, and poor Allen is just trying to survive his first shake ever. We’re breaking down the great water-to-powder debate and daring to ask: do you sip it, shoot it, or… spit it back out? Join us for messy textures, too much eye contact, and the conclusion that consistency (in your shakes and your habits) might matter more than the flavor.

Transcript

Welcome to Nacho Fitness Coach. The podcast where fitness is technically the topic, but let's be honest, we get distracted. I'm Sarah, the fitness expert who actually understands this stuff. And I'm Kaylee, the beginner who thinks Bulgarian split squats are a hate crime. Every week we break down fitness myths, call internet nonsense, and try to make sense of the chaos. while also going off on tangents, making bad jokes, and

questioning our life choices. If you're looking for expert advice with a side of whatever Kaylee does here, or just need a podcast that makes you feel better about your own fitness journey, you're in the right place. All right, let's do this. Or, you know, talk about doing this. Do you ever think about the fact that we don't know how many people have successfully faked their own death? People do that? Fake their own death? Yeah? Yeah. You do? For sure. That's not just

in the movies? No. Really? But if they are successful at it, we don't have those numbers. Right. Just something to think about. These are the kinds of things I think about. What do you think? We know how many people have been caught. True. Faking their own death. But we don't know how many people have successfully. How do you do that, though? I'm so confused. You don't ever think about how you would fake your own death? No. Alan, do you? Yeah. It's a good thought exercise.

Okay, so what would you do? I don't know. I haven't got it quite figured out yet, but I only know about how people who got caught did it, and you don't want to do that. All right. I don't know how the people who did it successfully did it, because they didn't. The only way to really fake your own death is to actually die. It's the best way to do it. But then it's not fake. No, because you're dead. Then you actually died. Right. You know? So just die. You can't be dead if you're

alive. Because you'll come up somewhere. There's just no way around it. I think people have done it, but we don't know. What does ChatGPT say? Because this sounds just like a 2 a .m. thought, Kaylee thought. How many people? I just don't, I mean. Yeah, this is just an interesting one to me because, well... I thought you would like it. Oh, he says it's impossible to know the exact number who have successfully faked their own deaths because by definition, a truly successful

case would mean they were never caught. Duh. That's what I'm saying. I know. Yeah, no, I get it. I mean, I understand, but I just have not, like, that has never been a thought that has crossed my mind. How... Would one go about faking their own death? I mean, is it kind of one of those things where you drive your car into a lake and then you just disappear? He said, I can't provide a guide on how to fake your own death, but I can discuss why it's nearly impossible

to pull off successfully in today's world. Why it almost never works. Well, because now at this point, there's like... Facial recognition and, like, if you go to get an iPhone. Digital footprint, forensic investigations, insurance and legal scrutiny, witnesses and mistakes. You've got to think about these things. I've thought about all these things. Yeah, and this is why you haven't done it yet. But you've got to have it. You've got to have some kind of a plan in your back

pocket. I think everybody should. Yeah. You know? No? You've never thought about it? No. You know it was a thing. I did not, really, actually. You're not a true crime buff, though. I am not a true crime buff. No. I mean, the only thing I've seen remotely close to faking a death is the rise of Gru. Yeah. Does that count? I mean, he did it, though. It's a cartoon. Well. This

says the bottom line is. The bottom line is, while it sounds like something out of a movie, modern forensic science, digital tracking, and global databases make faking your own death extremely difficult. Most people who attempt it are caught or eventually resurfaced. I mean, Apple would get you right away, so you'd have to immediately switch to Android because you couldn't use Face ID anymore because they'd be able to find you.

You've never read Gone Girl? Where she fakes her own kidnapping and she frames her husband for her murder, her disappearance? What's a Gone Girl? It's a book and a movie. Oh. Ben Affleck's in it. Oh. Great. Great piece of art. Really? Great book. Read the book and watch the movie. I'm not going to read the book. Report back. Okay. I probably won't read the book. Watch the movie. So what did you say happened again in this book? She was unhappy in her marriage for

whatever reason. And she faked, like she framed her husband and made it look like he murdered her. Oh. But she just like disappeared for a time. But like she staged everything in the house. I mean, I guess I just spoiled it. But did they catch her? I can't remember if she was like legally caught. I don't think so. She's just gone. But she came back. To her husband? Yeah. Just watch the movie. That's weird. No, that sounds like a waste of time. It's not. All right. We have

something in store. Yeah. For this episode. Yep. Now that five minutes and we got past the intro. Okay. That was a good one. Oh, sure. Yeah. Made you think. You know, we're getting a true insight. I just can't believe you don't think about this stuff. I can't believe you do. I mean, I guess I shouldn't be surprised at this point. Most of the people that I associate with besides you also think about this stuff. Do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to go home after we

record this episode. I'm going to ask Dane that question and see what he says. Oh, I could never ask Jeremy. He'll be like, why? I mean, I think it would be thought -provoking to him just from

an intellectual level. Yeah. He's always said he would probably be a really good... drug lord he thinks he could he thinks he could get away with that oh okay you have to be really smart yes right i think i think he said drug lord i don't know i think he i think he's also thought about how i shouldn't say this on the podcast how to pull off being like a serial killer just like the thought exercise of like how to get away with that yeah because that would be tough

right you know how many people could you kill Before you get caught. You know, I think about those things. Yeah. What's your number? How many people do you think you could catch up with? I don't think I could get very far, to be honest with you. You're not very detail -oriented. I'm too scatterbrained. You'd leave some clues behind? There would be evidence. There would be signs. But I don't know. What would be your, like, mark?

What do you mean? Or, like, your signature. Some of the most, like, well -known, famous serial killers had, like, a mark. I'd probably just, like, sprinkle pre -workout over the body. They'd call me the... What's his weird patterning stuff? They'd call me the caffeine killer. Kaylee, the caffeine killer. Anyway, we're taking a left turn. This is all going to be used against me in a corner. Okay, so we, earlier this season, we kind of had a moment that we did not see eye

to eye on the proper mix. The proper ratio of protein powder to liquid. No. We do not agree. We don't. So how are we going to do this? So Kaylee actually remembered. I did not. I forgot to bring protein powder. But Kaylee remembered two shaker bottles and her protein. And so how do you want to do this? Like, are we going to use one shaker bottle and like do your mix first? I think you should do my mix second. One shaker bottle with your ratio. Well, but then we don't

want to. We'll just do them one at a time. Yeah. Don't you think we could do that? Wouldn't that be, when we just ate. Just cut it in half. So if you normally do one scoop with what? I do two scoops with like 20 ounces. 20 ounces of water. So that'd be one scoop to 10 ounces. So if we cut that in half, we could do half a scoop to five ounces of water. Yeah. We could do that. Yeah. And then I would do half a scoop to just like two and a half ounces of water. Yeah. then

that ratio would be the same. So we're just kind of going for it. We're just kind of trying to feel out the texture here. So here... Both of the balls are in here. Oh, I was like, where's... I didn't hear it. Why'd you put them both in the same one? I just did. Now they're all stuck together. Smell like my dishwasher. Never put two together and get intertwined. Okay, so which ratio do we want to do first? Let's do yours. Okay. So, that means you need, there, two and

a half, two. You don't scoop first? The two and a half? No. Then you get clumps in the bottom. I scoop first. Ew. Gross. I don't think the protein, I don't know if the protein's open. Okay. We'll have to open it. Okay, so, four, two. It's like right over the, can you find, can you get it to be about to it? Well, there's six. Six is the lowest on there. So. Four, two. It's like right there at the. Okay, so my ratio, so we're cutting it in half. Oh, I feel like I did too

much. I did too much? That one's hard to see through. Mine's a little much. Here. So my ratio that I do for my protein shake is I do one scoop, and I'm mostly Nutribio protein at home, the 100 % weight isolate. And so that is one scoop has 25 grams of protein. I will do about four. Did I do too much? Yeah, that looks more like four. Drink some. Okay. So I will do four to five ounces for one scoop of protein and just shoot it and away we go. Does that look better?

Where's your six? Six, four. Yeah, that's probably closer to it. Okay. So Kaylee brought in her protein. I'm going to open it up. I only have 16 tubs in my pantry. So this one is two scoops, and so it should be just the same probably scoop size. Yeah, I carry the one and double it and then divide by and multiply. Okay, so with that, we're going to take just a quick little ad break.

Mine, what I do. I just don't understand how you... It's a more common probably ratio. I feel like a lot of protein powders... I don't

understand how you swallow it. It sounds like it would be so sick. Protein powders are... Most of them will say 8 to 10 ounces per scoop. So Kaylee's actually probably following directions better than I am, but I also... Yeah, what do the directions say? This one says it is supposed to be... Where is it? I don't even know if it says on this one. It does? Somewhere? Keep going. Mix power protein. Oh, directions to use. Two scoops into 8 to 16 ounces. Oh, that's broad.

8 to 16 ounces. And you do 20. About 16 to 20. 16 to 20. Usually, like, because we used to buy these water bottles. These are, what, 16 .9? Yeah. So then that means, all right, here we go. So I'm actually going to kind of, so it doesn't just all plop in. Because, you know. We don't want that. I hate it when that happens. I know. Does that look like it's about half of a scoop? Yeah. I'll try a little bit more. Okay. Okay. I'm going to do yours first. That way you can

shake it up nice and good. I don't know if I really feel like I need to try my own though. I guess we're doing them side by side though. I want to see how they are. Okay. So then this is about half a scoop too. Yes. All right. In my shaker bottle. So we got. I just feel like this is going to be so thick. I think you're going to surprise yourself. It's going to be delicious. Is that really how you shake yours? I just do whatever. Are we good? Do you think

we're all shaken up now? Oh, man. The one thing I will definitely say is mine takes you wild. You gotta lick the nub first. Well, yeah, because otherwise you're gonna get it. You can get it on your nose. You gotta lick the nub. Just never. Oh, God. It's so thick. Wait, let me see how it is first. Oh, yeah, that's good. Oh, yeah. Ew. Ew. He had to spit. Spit? That's nasty. That's nasty. No, it's not. It's delicious. Perfection. Perfection. No, it's not. Yum, that's some good

stuff. That's it. See, mine's done already. How do you swallow it? Fucking chew it up first. You know what kind of reminds me? I was like, did you ever make pudding? Is it like instant pudding? Instant pudding? No. That's like pudding. That's fucking disgusting. Is this what you drink every day? Yes. But that is the texture. It's like instant pudding. You know, before you put it in the fridge, you mix it up or whatever you put. We used to shake it in something that almost

didn't even look like this. It was like a Rubbermaid, you know, or Tupperware kind of home Tupperware thing. And it had the little lid and you shake it up and you'd pour it in. But that's kind of the texture of these. It's delicious. No, it's not. Yes, it is. Yours is going to be nasty as

hell. It's going to be all watered down. no i am not looking forward to your situation at all i did not like that i just okay my water put your water in it all right fine there we go oh my god you just drink that every day are we just doing the rest of this no oh eight what are we doing too much because we didn't cut it in half right so Do you usually do 16 or 20? Because that makes a difference in how we go about this. I used to do these water bottles, but we don't

buy these anymore. So now I just generally, but I scoop first and then I just kind of, I don't know, probably about 16 ounces. Okay. So we need then, so 16 would be eight. Eight ounces in one scoop. So now it needs to be four ounces. Oh, four? Yeah. Because we're only doing half a scoop, right? So you're basically doubling. God. This one's really dark. Oh, there we go. Okay, so now we need. I mean, halfway. There's the. All right, so now we're going four ounces for a half

a scoop. I did five -ish. I still had quite a bit in there because. Okay. Oh, God, I can still smell it. It smells the same. It's the same powder. It smells thick. No. How exactly do you smell thick? I guess I'm a little confused by that. Alan knows what I'm talking about. What does thick smell like? I don't even understand. It smells heavy. All right. Heavy. Okay. It's a little much. All right. So now we've got half a scoop of protein going into Kaylee's watered

-down mess. That's a little bit too much, I think. That's not going to be right. Okay. There we go. There's Kaylee's half scoop. With her ratio. Yeah, all over my pants now. Same powder. Twice as much water. Oh, my word. Okay. I don't know. Okay. This is going to be so. Ew, I got it on my desk. How did you do that? I don't know. I was spitting, gagging everywhere. I am surprised you did not lose that all over the floor. I almost did. Oh, gosh. Okay, so now you should be happy

because this is your concoction. Right? You're licking the... Yes. It's embarrassing when you leave that on your nose. Like, if you don't... The eye contact is wild. It's right there. Don't do that. Okay. Oh, this is going to be gross. I'm going to tell you. Okay. Cheers. Okay. Oh. No. Yes! She got all cocky. She's like, oh yeah, look at me. I'm drinking a one big gulp of this. Almost fired on her. Not so much look at me now. Oh, no. Oh, God. It's on my computer screen.

This is not good. It's better. This doesn't even taste like chocolate. It's so watered down that the flavor is not even there anymore. You don't have to chew it. It's nasty. I disagree wholeheartedly. 100%. Uh -uh. There is no flavor to this. Like, you literally have completely washed out all the flavor of chocolate in here. But we're still both getting the same amount of protein, right? Correct. Okay, so with that, we're going to take just a quick little ad break. Hey, Nacho Nation,

this is Sarah. And in Season 5, we had guest Justin Nault. Tell us the history of his supplement company called Clovis. We now have a promo code that you can use to get 20 % off your first order. Visit the website IamClovis .com, which is spelled C -L -O -V -I -S, and enter promo code NACHO, which is in all capital letters, N -A -H -C -O, to snag your 20 % off your first order. And we cannot wait to hear what you think about all of the products. Okay, we're back. It doesn't

matter, but it's just a preference thing. It is a preference, but you looked at me like I was a weirdo for only having half the amount of water. That's disgusting. It was. It was like drinking pudding. This is nasty. No, it's not. This is, yes. I disagree. We're at an impasse. I feel like I have chocolate all over my face. I don't like that. I do not. I mean, thanks for bringing your protein share with me, and the flavor is delicious, but I do not like that watered

-down version. I don't like your version. Which I know is technically, like, you make it to the ratios that are actually listed on the... My husband does that, too. He doesn't put as much water in. I just don't understand. That's just so old that I can't... That is like, I think we should make Alan try both of them. Yes, we need to wash these out, and we'll do a side -by -side for Alan. Can we pause and come back? Yeah, I think we're okay. Okay, so we're going to pause.

We're going to be right back. We're going to go wash out the shaker bottles, and we're going to put Alan to the test. He can do the side -by -side, so we'll be right back. Okay, so we're back. We got our shaker bottles all cleaned up for Alan. He's going to do the taste test now. So we're going to get these bottles mixed up. So we got Kaylee's going to go into the one. About five, four and a half, five ounces, right? Yeah. Four and a half, five. Okay. So we got

that one. I got to get the protein in it then too. This one's going to go. So we need half. Now, Alan, correct me if I'm wrong. This is your

very first. protein shake right correct oh yeah okay so this is a true taste test like this is somebody that's never actually even tasted protein and i mean listen all pro all protein powders have a little bit of like a protein flavor taste to them like it's not like drinking a true milkshake you know it's gonna be it's still got like it's good for a protein shake you know it's kind of what you have to think about like okay protein shakes you get and they taste like expired drywall

Yeah. Oh, that's what it tastes. Yeah, but this isn't so bad. No, this one actually, like, the flavor is really good when you drink it with the right ratio. My ratio. I actually taste the chocolate, but, you know, I mean. Emphasis on the chalk. Chalk. Chocolate. Will I know which one it is? Yeah, you will. Okay. Sarah's, you have to chew a little bit. So should we do mine first, then two, just so it's exactly the same? Like, we'll do the. I didn't know if this was

a blind taste. No, you're just going to have to. You're going to know which is which. So you're just going to have to tell us which one is the more desirable ratio. I'm just trying to make sure that it's like even here. Right at about a half of a scoop, which kind of takes some. Okay. So here is. So there's the first one. Make sure it's popped shut. I know. That is also a thing you learn very quickly is you got to hear the claps. The clipping. Okay, so here. There

you go. Get some practice. Shake that. Shakey shake. Gotta maintain eye contact while you're shaking. Yeah, with Kaylee. I'm busy. I'm busy with the shaker. You gotta watch too. She's afraid too. Oh my god. Alright, so then we got this one. So we got half of a scoop then now in Kaylee's bottle which is about Five, four, four or five ounces of water. That's about half. I think they're on that one. Okay. So we're going to shake these bad boys up and he's going to have a chance to

kind of taste it. Now I would maybe encourage you to not be by the board just in case something funky happens, right? You think you're going to, I mean, I wouldn't want for anything to get ruined. I'm pointing towards both of you. There we go. Just. Just make sure you don't ruin the audio of the episode. If it hits my shit, it's okay. Okay. All right. Gosh darn it. This is not screwing on very good. Okay. Here we go. We got it. Okay. So the first one is. This is

how Sarah drinks her protein. This is how I. This is how I. This is. That's how I drink my protein. Oh, yeah. See, now he's getting it. There we go. I figured it out. Get the beard into it. Okay, so there we go. Now, it's got a little, like, pop. Like, you have to... Pop it open. Pop open. There you go. Okay. It looks numb. It looks numb. It's a requirement. Otherwise, it ends up... It always ends up on your cheek or your nose or something, like, if you're not

paying attention and just makes a mess. All right. So, Alan, we got to get pictures and video of this very first protein shake ever. Like, we're trying to have some positive influence on him here. But, all right, this is my version. Okay. So. Okay. Here we go. So, Kaylee, when you're rinsing out. Oh. Am I doing this or? You can. Okay. Go for it. We'll talk about it after. Go

ahead. full undivided attention on alan is this chug or just you do you do you do you yeah i like that see and he did the whole thing mine yet he didn't but he did almost the whole thing one shot see there we go alan yeah so we were actually likening the two between drinking like chocolate milk or a milkshake like the consistency is just putting whatever i mean that's a milk that's a milkshake that's milkshake issue Okay, thank you. I liked it. All right. See? All right,

he's on board. He's on board. Two against one so far. I'm not against that. I'm sorry. Yes, no, you're right. You haven't tried it yet because you might be. You don't know. Okay, here we go. Lick the nub. She's so bossy. I know. I like the nub licking part. It's like my favorite part. Would you like this? Double fisting it now. Here we go. Oh, man. And this is Kaylee's, right? Yeah, this is Kaylee's. Eye contact. Eye contact. Just because. Let's take it up a little bit more.

Well, he has no bias, right? I mean, this is the very first time, so. I could take it either way. Oh, well. Well, there we have it, folks. There we go. It really just comes down to preference. It just comes down to preference. There's no right or wrong way to have your ratio. It's the same amount of protein. It's the same amount of protein. Like, I mean, it really doesn't matter. So it's just however you can be consistent. Just whatever you can. Whatever you enjoy. Whatever

goes down your throat smoothly. Yeah. You know, just don't. Choke. Choke. Or spit. Or spit it back up. Or spit it back up. If it doesn't make you spit. And just remember to lick the nub. So it's not on your face. Your nose. Your nose. Whatever. I don't know. I guess I would love to hear from you. I mean, if you. What do you do? As a listener, I mean, all the listeners that we have out there, like, how do you drink your protein shake? What's your ratio? Do you

like, you know, what do you use? Now, I will also say that my 100 % whey isolate, I mix to this ratio. But if I have like a whey mix, like a classic, more classic blend that's not 100 % isolate or if it's got some casein in it, I will do more water. Because those do tend to be thicker in general anyways then. Well, I think we do need to do an episode about, I think we were going to compare your protein and my protein.

Oh, yeah. Because we discovered that when I was doing carnivore diet, you asked if I could still have my protein shakes. And I said, no, there's way too many carbs in it. And you were like, that's not right. And I checked, there's like 17 grams of carbs in it. And so then you were comparing. Holy smokes. You were comparing ingredients. This ingredients list is wild. Yeah. So I think we need to compare. We need an episode comparing

my protein and your. And I would like to try your protein if you would ever remember to bring it. I will. You know what? I'll do. I'll go home and I'll put it in my bag for next time. That way we for sure make sure that I've got it with me. This is wild. Yeah. It may not be the most healthy. Turns out. Yeah. My ingredient list

is like double your ingredient list, which. this is crazy i'm not gonna talk about it now but i do have opinions shocker so we'll save that for another episode so that's all we have for today then that was it that was the whole episode so i hope you enjoyed that so until next time bye thanks for listening be sure to head over to our instagram at nacho fitness coach and let us know how you feel about the topic do you love it or hate it Also, don't forget to hit that
