HEALTHY MASS-GAINER RECIPES

Mass gainers contain a mix of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. The amounts can differ from product to product. Protein sources include whey, casein, soy and/or plant-based proteins. The carbohydrates are almost always from either dextrose, maltodextrin or waxy maize, or some sort of combination of the three. Mass gaining supplements also contain additional ingredients such as BCAAs,  creatine, and vitamin & minerals. For some people, gaining weight or adding muscle can be just as difficult as losing weight for others. But, simply adding certain foods to your diet can make your weight gain efforts both healthy and more effective. Here is a list of some Healthy Mass Gainer Recipes which you can prepare at home.

4. Chocolate and Peanut Butter Weight Gainer Shake

Bulk Ingredients:

• 400ml oat milk
• 100g rolled oats
• 50g chocolate whey protein
• 30g peanut butter
• 3-5 medjool dates
• Pinch of sea salt

Method:

Throw all the ingredients into a blender. Try to place the ingredients in order so that the tougher ones, dates and oats, are closer to the blades to avoid over processing the smoother ingredients like powders. Simply blitz the ingredients to a texture you like. I kind of like to chew my smoothies so blend them minimally.

Once blended, simply serve and enjoy. It also lasts well in the fridge and can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. Enjoy the gains!
