Renergy Breakfast Sandwich

[@Ballisticbob517]

Rener Gracie could literally teach stain removal techniques for shirts and it would still be entertaining

[@Shaun1gza]

Rener really has a great gift of explaining the simple and the complex. SALUTE!

[@DocTani]

he instructs making a sandwich the same way he instructs ju jitsu ahaha

[@har0111890011]

haha yeah even he says Boom like when he teachs us a technique .. A great master :)

From the moment this guy starts explaining things you JUST KNOW he would be the best friend you ever had. He totally reminds me of the cool character that saves the day and makes you feel like the hero even though he knows you didn't do much. I wish all the blessings of heaven on him and those he loves!

Can I substitute lays potato chips for the kale munchies?

@Elise P it's been three years? You on the healthy lifestyle bandwagon yet? If not get on it's a better ride

[@153gmoney]

Rener is a good mentor/teacher imo, hes very detailed and has that "pure" gracie feel when he talks. its not just his jiu jitsu techniques i like, i just like his lifestyle, its inspiring. he is a very smart man

[@random-videos]

He has a talent for teaching.. I wish I could learn from this guy!

[@Cayoot]

I always get such a kick out of watching and listening to him and his brother. They seem like super nice guys who are so enthusiastic about life. Thanks for another great video!

Finally tried it, it's pretty good, I will definitely be keeping this in my diet. Thank you Rener!

[@genustoby]

Just enjoyed my first Renergy sandwich today! A complete treat. So tasty. Thanks Rener. Week 2 of my BJJ training too. Loving it. I couldn't get the dried kale so i bought fresh then dried in the oven at 150 degrees for 20mins. My kids also can't get enough of it. Added bonus!

[@Antuna16TV]

I just tried this yesterday, July 9, 2019... 9 years after this video. THE SANDWICH WAS AMAZING. Thanks Rener

[@jameshull5274]

Beautiful colors. The first bite is with the eye.

[@13aldav]

Just made this and I'm eating it right now. It is the best fuckin sandwich ever. The crunchyness of the kale and the smooth avocado complement each other perfectly.

[@AjaychinuShah]

From his expression it was not bad but very good. :->

[@michaelc1114]

Kale?????????

[@michaelc1114]

mb hadnt finished the video lol

[@RyanManggala]

After 9 years. Still watching this.

[@harveyacosta2352]

Looks good, try without sauté the spinach (the flavor is very different and much better), instead sauté onions and garlic. Also instead of kale chips, buy the kale put it in a bowl with lemon juice and orange juice, fresh, leave it over night (you can use it the whole week), this will make the kale smooth and with an amazing flavor.........

[@OlafThorbjorn]

Harvey Acosta I'll try that one

[@dianareddell1496]

Harvey Acosta that sounds delicious! What would you suggest to replace the crunch of the kale?

[@markhenderson3771]

Entertaining and informative! Thanks for sharing. I'm in.

[@oldwisetale]

HAHAHHAHAHAHHA!! The proud chewing was priceless.

[@todei79]

Rener, you sir radiate nothing but positive energy.

[@darylbuchanan4140]

DAMNIT WHY DID I WATCH THIS DURING MY FASTING PERIOD?

[@Delakwah]

i make the exact same thing except i substitute Wonder Bread for whole grain, Nutella instead of almond butter, bacon replaces the acocado, potato chips for the kale and chuck the spinach. it tastes so good it's hard to believe it's healthy! thanks Rener!

[@GizwelTheMage]

Interesting combination. I'll definitely give it a try.

[@cnotake]

Mahalo for your healthy living and eating videos. Your Gracie family philosophies on diet is a true inspiration. Gotta buy your diet book. It's hard to find mentors that give you that drive and motivation to eat healthy.

[@jeebusyaweirdo3733]

I just want to say thank you so much Rener, you have been a great guide in my martial arts journey and you’re one of the reasons I got into ju jitsu

[@kurtxvx]

I've been making these every day for the past week. So good. I've been using the fresh ground almond butter you grind yourself at whole foods. Here on the east coast we don't have those kale munchies so I bought the "Brad's Raw Chips" spicy kale chips that they also sell at whole foods. Such a great sandwich, and very good for any vegan diets.

[@adamdavieswebspider]

Rener... great job on the video. I made this sandwich this morning and found it to be fun to make. I made my own kale chips in the oven, which was also pretty fun. The videos for making kale chips are all over KZbin. After eating one of the Renergy Breakfast Sandwiches, I did feel a bit ill. The taste was surprisingly good, not sure why it made me feel sick. I guess I am not familiar with the combination of ingredients. I'll try again in a week or so... keepin it real in the south.

[@sparkuri]

I tried it, EXCELLENT! I changed a couple things. Instead of Almond butter, I used Avacado as my mayonnaise, and instead of Kale chips and spinach, I used ham and cheese. Simply incredible.

[@kennyb123]

You really didn't try it then.

[@wackrapsatire]

sparkuri so you basically ruined the whole aspect of it...

[@dreamextreme7293]

hahaha

[@dreamextreme7293]

instead of using avacodo next time, use mayonnaise. keep your ham n cheese n add bacon lettuce n tomato. substitute the juice for an ice cream sunday shake. then youl really love it.! oh. swap the wheat bread for white. ps. your life will lesson in value in other areas.. that or just do it the actual ingredients next time.;)

He has all this "RENERGY" but he sounds calm. I love it, his voice is deep, not too deep and monotoned, like his energy deep and steady! Rener seems like a great guy. (Shy smile)

[@jamasandoval7407]

This recipe might find you a spot on Worst Cooks in America, but I would pay any sum of money to watch you host a cooking show -- All day, every day. In fact, you've convinced me to try your sandwich.

[@Banchuba]

can i use also fresh Kale instead of dry Kale? Because its really hard to find.

[@bootnreboot]

its easy to make your own , look up how to make Kale chips. just bake the fresh Kale in your own oven, 10 - 15 min at 375 and they're done. Probably why these are discontinued.

[@Banchuba]

bootnreboot thanks a lot for your answer!

[@bootnreboot7456]

Banchuba you're welcome...enjoy :-))

If you want to up your sandwich game, use Ezekiel bread in the frozen section. It's sprouted and is a complete protein.

[@lorenzosantiago2127]

My boy love y'all. Your videos are excellent.

[@rakhit]

I swear if Rener didn't get into Jiu-Jitsu he'd be running top infomercials. I don't even like what he made but I'm going to make it anyways and eat it.

[@Dmedic2009]

I've been looking for this recipe all my life

[@pieceofparadox]

wow, Gracies are so inventive. First the art of ground fighting and now an avocado toast sandwhich. what ever will they think of next?? a bicycle with purple wheels, a skateboard that's 24 inches long, a burger with turkey instead of beef? innovators.

[@Rex-golf_player810]

Lol what

[@saadmohiuddin81]

6:20 kale munchies company is closed it seems. Website is down plz check

[@Geeker13]

The ingredients which make spinach work so well are the nitrates found abundantly in spinach. Nitrates make the mitochondria, the "engine rooms" of cells, more efficient.

[@pr0n3]

Olive oil is still fine to use as long as you don't take it anywhere near its smoking point. If you keep it at low temps, it won't oxidize and release/create the toxins you speak of. Regardless olive oil does have a lot of anti-oxidants and you can also use "grass fed" butter to stabilize it while cooking.

[@JamaisArriere1]

For those of us who don't live anywhere near California is there any other type of substitute for the kale chips?

[@katherinecaruso9092]

Thank you, I will try this. My friend taught me about avocado and almond butter toast with honey, but I was searching google to find how you all suggest mixing certain foods together, and specifically eggs and avocado but this breakfast looks too good!!

[@madelineyakimchuk]

I'm sitting here eating the sandwich now.. you are BRILLIANT! It is evening, but I started making the sandwich this morning. I picked the kale and made my own air dried kale snacks because, sure as hell if you can't find it easily there I am not going to find it in sydney ns canada! I also swapped in chard for spinach, because I have lots of chard in the garden and spinach is hard to grow here. Sill, it is spectacular. Gotta go eat another!

[@Phar2Rekliss]

Does oven baked dried Kale or what's called Kale Chips the same thing same purpose? They dont even sell that brand of Kale Munchies no more? The company opened up a Cafe Store and no longer sell their products online on that website

[@mrsubconscious]

Im not too keen on baked kale or dried kale but would Japanese dried seaweed (nori) be an okay substitute for a beginner?

[@gingerbreadboy]

Made the sandwich and it's delicious! All the flavours work together. For kale chips just buy normal fresh kale which is really cheap and put it in the oven, there's plenty of tips on how to do it on the internet.

[@skustadroppazleague6019]

You can see the cloud of positive energy around him.. fascinating

[@pcarp83]

I made this sandwich minus the kale crunchies (I can't find them and online is a little expensive) and this sandwich is VERY good! Thank you Rener!

[@KrisMachina]

i'm eating the sandwich right now as i'm typing this xD. The Kale munchies combined w/ the almond butter gives it the strong greeny taste but it tastes REALLLLLY GOOOOOOOD Thank you Master!!!!

[@saqbomb]

Awesome sandwich, made it this morning. Kale is definitely key! It's a really nice combination of flavours.

[@ChadHatcherTV]

i like how he clears everything.. especially the avocado scragglers.

[@AhomadunAli]

I'v been having this sandwich regularly for a few weeks now and i can see where the renergy is coming from now. wud recommend everyone to try it. i dd have one question, @GracieAcademy is it ok to make it, wrap it up and leave in the fridge for the next morning? or does the spinach have to be warm? and is it ok to use cashew butter if u dont hav almond?

[@illuzeweb]

You can make your own Kale if its not around just put it single layer on a cookie sheet with parchment paper put your cayenne pepper on it etc... pull it out when its crispy. You're good...also you can put spinach or any fruit in a bowl with apple cider vinegar and let the soak it'll remove the pesticides etc.

[@veesutube]

Made this for dinner tonight! At first I thought...it's all green...but it was super yum :) I appreciate your making these unique recipes videos. Hope to see more of your ideas. (Found the Kale at Mother's Market in Santa Ana! Had to ask for it, and they brought it out from the back.)

[@amazingGrace108]

if you add little bit of "kala namak" black mineral salt(you can purchase it in asian or indian grocery store) it will give avocado taste of boiled eggs.Amazing combo.the salt smells of sulfur a bit and tastes great.

[@153gmoney]

exactly, caffeine is not a good stimulant....imo stimulants are bad for you overall. natural energy is the best and leaves you feeling the best. this sandwich really did give me good, healthy energy and never felt like "crashing" or "wired" like what caffeine does. i was a little skeptical at first but i went ahead and tried it and i strongly recommend it. thanks Rener!!! your videos help me expand my knowledge of jiu jitsu more than most other teachers videos, keep it up!

[@lilbilly71091]

Love the Renergy Rener, keep up the awesome work, and keep it real!

[@TroutOfOrder]

Can't we use another brand of Kale? Maybe some that isn't dried, or just an off-brand dried kale?

[@H4lll]

+TroutOfOrder of course fresh would be better i think

[@BenJune09]

+TroutOfOrder A friend told me they make their own at home...waiting for the recipe.

[@Aniketos00]

Going to try it out although I doubt I can get a hold of that Kale thingy dilly...

[@pepematta]

You can dry the kale in the microwave, is the same like the kale munchies , 2-3 and that’s it

[@Trixdee]

Is meat not allowed on the Gracie diet at all? Or do they just eat it very rarely and only with specific foods?

[@1sunstyle]

How many techniques are required to make the sandwich?

[@jessicahansen7958]

Made the Henergy sandwich today. It was not as good as a pb&j but it was fantastic. The kale chips were a nice flavor boost and the spinach was cool.

[@BenJune09]

Tried this sandwich and loved it...thanks for sharing!

[@robbelliii]

Love this dude. Technique to everything in life.

[@MsClaudiaDuran]

Rener Gracie is like your best friend's athletic older brother who was always super sweet when you came over to the house and you wrote about every night in your diary.

[@SOLROSENBERG2]

I was very surprised. This is a very good sandwich. The almond butter is what really makes it tasty.

[@153gmoney]

this is a great sandwhich, i tried it and its GREAT and healthy. the key ingredient is the spinach like rener said imo its what gives it a good taste

[@chrizzjizz]

i soo just made one of these like 30 minutes ago and it was great!! i am trying to follow the diet starting today--i bought a pretty good juicer and made the apple/ban. one you made on your other video which was tasty too! ....i train at the Relson Gracie academy here in san antonio--thanks to you and your family for "keeping it real" :p

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

This is a favorite of mine, though I prefer fresh kale instead. Also, I like using coconut oil to cook the spinach and kale. Question, what do you think of the Rogan Kale Drink ( I have that each day)? Second, are you 100 % vegan?

[@xfightcityx]

lmao love the energy. that looks delicious i have all the stuff except for the kale, ill make the sandwhich once i have all the stuff. this is a great video, thanks

[@suryavajra]

Well everything he does, even if he is going to the supermarket produce section, he takes it as a moment to teach the right techniques. He has a passion for teaching. Did you hear the podcast where he responded to criticism from Renzo Gracie?

[@HectorCamacho67]

How many calories would you say one sandwich has?

[@tandcalways]

master! he puts leverage and rotation even in making a sandwich guys!

[@strictlystunt]

Sun Power Natural discontinued the kale munchies :/

[@scottlain9091]

what about coconut oil for the spinach

[@lilylandis]

kale munchies online are discontinued

[@MrGiantHippo]

i made a generic because i didnt go to the supermarket. i used water rolls and then peanut butter lol and then avocado and spinach salad. tastes real good.

[@thehithere1]

can i substitute the almond butter for peanut butter?

[@BeegMonkay]

The best way to test softness of an avocado is to softly press your thumb near where the stem was rather than the middle. You don't want to bruise the middle.

[@voodoo1032801]

awesome sandwich! great mix, the two slices of bread make up a good amount of carbs while the almond butter makes up the protein. All while the kale and spinach add to both plus fibre and other nutrients. In terms of calories its great too cause, since almonds are a calorie dense food it gives a lot of calories. Whats even better is everthing is organic !!

[@jamesdemon138]

Instead of wheat bread, I recommend Ezekiel bread. It's sprouted whole grain bread, It's healthier for you.

[@Geeker13]

Rener is right on with this sandwich! According to the research, which was published in the February issue of the journal Cell Metabolism, eating a bowl of spinach every day makes your muscles "profoundly" more efficient. Researchers found that eating 300g spinach reduced the amount of oxygen needed to power muscles when exercising by as much as five percent.

[@TheBlackDog73]

I tried it without the kale and it was still pretty good. Not used to eating foods in that combination, but overall I was impressed.

[@Alchemistic88]

everytime I don't want to cook, I just watch some of these videos and I get excited about making something to eat :)

[@xfightcityx]

i just made this sandwhich, even got the kale munchies. it tastes great.

[@angelsite285O]

So I just made this sandwich I liked it! I probably won't saute the spinach because the slimy texture was riding with me. I like how the almond butter molded well with the avocado and it's amazing!

[@timemachineshower]

the protein is in the spinach and almond butter

[@jmarin13]

Where do you get those kale munchies at? I know you said on el segundo & roscrans but dont those 2 streets run the same direction? O.o

[@roberturruchi8111]

fresh kale should be fine right?!

[@pr0n3]

Yup, pretty much what I stated. You just stated to "don't cook with olive oil". I just wanted to state its perfectly fine to use it and it has many benefits as long as you don't go near smoking point. Cheers mang.

[@priestnationministries1507]

I thought your super Henergy uniform would pop on you in that last moment of suspense, love your sandwich gotta try it. Thanks.

[@X581jr]

I think it's great that Gracies that make diet an important part of their martial arts curriculum. I have heard but am not sure that you must be able to lay out your planned diet as part of your black belt qualification. That's awesome.

[@suryavajra]

That is awesome to hear, man. I have not taken jiujitsu before, but Rener really inspires me to take it and commit to a total jiujitsu lifestyle.

love your almond butter and avocado sandwich recipes; kale, spinach, egg whites and the alike. No surprise they are yummy and easy to prepare, but even better all ingredients sold anywhere even in podunck, usa:) P.S.
