20 Weight Gain Shake Recipes


When you are on a weight gain diet a good way to consume more calories is to drink weight gain shakes. If each weight gain shake was approximately 750 calories, if you drink 2 shakes per day that’s an extra 1500 calories or so that you are consuming in your diet.
I don’t like to think of liquid meals as a substitute for eating normal food. They should be used in addition to eating the normal 5-6 other meals you have in the day, which makes the time that you consume the weight gain shakes very important. I like to drink a shake after breakfast so you don’t feel too full for the rest of the day, as well as post workout when the muscles really need the nutrients.
I always choose Optimum Nutrition protein powder which comes in different flavors. I like Optimum Nutrition because I find it to be the best quality whey protein for the price, but feel free to use your favorite brand of whey protein.
To make the weight gain shakes all you will need is a blender, ice and a few easy to get supplements. You can also add some sugar or artificial sweetener to the shakes to make them taste a bit better.
