Yeah, let’s fire up the kitchen volcano and see if those pepper flakes actually torch our calorie bank. First, grab a scoop of protein, a handful of roasted red chilies, a splash of unsweetened almond milk, and a dash of smoked paprika for that “I’m a chef, not a chemist” vibe. Blend until silky, then pour into a glass with a straw that’s long enough to keep the smoke away from your face. Sprinkle a few crushed peppercorns on top for extra heat and a chance for a mini spark. While you’re waiting for the smoothie to thicken, we’ll measure your resting metabolic rate before and after to get the real numbers. Remember, a “fireworks” effect on the scale is just the illusion of flavor. Let’s get those data points and see if the myth holds up or if it’s just a hot story. Ready to test this heat wave?

Alright, grab that shaker, toss in the protein, the roasted chilies, a splash of almond milk, a pinch of smoked paprika, and a dash of peppercorn for that extra kick. Blend until you get that smooth, smoky cloud, then pour into a tall glass. Throw a pepper sprinkle on top, and when you stir, you’ll see a little hiss—just the steam, not real fireworks, but it’s good enough to pretend calories are dancing out the window. Now, hit your scale before the shake and again right after—you’ll get the numbers to test the chili myth. Let’s see if the data support the legend or if it’s just a spicy prank.
