Scarsdale Personal Trainer Discovers The Starbucks Protein Shake

A Scarsdale Personal Trainer Makes a Waist Shrinking Discovery on line at Starbucks!

That’s me coming outta the Starbucks on Central Ave all happy with a protein shake in hand after a hard workout of pushups, jump squats, lunge presses, and burpees all for 45 seconds each (then repeated 8 times) finishing with 5 sprints up and down a steep hill – sheesh LOL…

I never knew this (I was going to just get a plain cup of Joe and then head home to make my own protein shake but…

the line was long that I had some time to really stare at the menu.

Besides from the fact that the amount of calories in some coffee choices were INSANE (like ruin your chances of weight loss insane) I did notice a few good choices this Scarsdale Personal Trainer would recommend including their protein shake/smoothie selections.

Look for the section called – Vivanno Smoothies

They have 3 flavors: strawberry, chocolate and Orange Mango.

Total calories: 270 Total Fiber: 6 grams Total Protein: 15 grams Total Fat: 2 grams and Zero Saturated Fat or Trans Fat.

My only concern is that it’s a little high in the carbs like around 50 grams but I have 2 things to say…

1. If you use this shake POST workout then you need a little carbs so don’t be scared – carbs are especially GOOD after a workout to help with muscle recovery and metabolism!

2. Here’s a great tip. Ask them to add an extra scoop of protein powder and use only 1/2 banana. This will increase the protein and decrease the carb count.

Give it a try and tell this Scarsdale Personal Trainer (who gets looked at funny when he takes pictures like the one above but does it just for YOU) what ya think

A Scarsdale Gym Owner Post by Mitch “Charlie” Lee – Restaurant Review

Hey! Wanna know one of my homes away from home? It’s Outback Steakhouse in Yonkers (and yes they have more than steak!)

Watch the video below where I tell you which are the best options for your health and your waistline. There is a SYMBOL that ya gotta look for on the menu so click play!

Click here to view the embedded video.

When I (the Scarsdale gym owner who will go to every restaurant in Westchester County until everyone is fit and firm )….. go I usually get one of 2 things.

1 – The 6 oz. sirloin (only 330 calories) with 2 sides ($9.99) – they are usually a salad with vinaigrette dressing on the side and mixed veggies (I so just looked up how to spell that LOL )

I ask for an unsweetened iced tea with lemon and ask them to hold the bread and bring me the salad FIRST! They are super nice and accomadating. Perfect – protein plus veggies!

If it was a workout day I may get the salad with the sweet potato instead but ask for it plain and just eat half of it ok!

2 – Grilled Chicken on the Barbie – it comes with grilled seasoned veggies and all you have to do is ask for it “Light Style” and your meal is right around 400 calories and full of protein and veggies. BINGO!

The Fresco Selections Rock!

Click this link to see their nutritional menu

By the way, the hot, mild or fire sauce has ZERO calories so they turned out to be fine!

So in conclusion, I think Taco Bell really over-delivers with the Fresco menu and all their healthy options.

If you have a fast food place you want me to go to, just let me know in the comments section below
