How to add calories to your shakes

When you want to gain mass, you have to have a calorie surplus, and although this might be difficult for some, there are certain foods that can add significant calories without making you feel like you’re about to burst at the seems. Here are some of our tips.

Use milk instead of water

Milk is a great balance of protein and carbs, so it's natural to use it as the liquid in your smoothies. Cow’s milk is ideal, but if you are using an alternative try to find at least 6 grams of protein per serving. Soy milk is a good, high-protein, dairy-free alternative.

Add Nut Butter

Nut butters like peanut butter or almond butter blend up well in shakes and add a delicious savoury flavour. You can also try whole nuts if you have a high-powered blender - cashews and shelled pistachios are also delicious.

Add Banana or Avocado

Frozen bananas are the key to a cool shake while avocado gives the best creamy, smooth texture when blended. If you want to boost carbs, choose a banana, and avocado when you want higher calories and healthy fats. And including them both is delicious.

Add Flax Seeds or Chia Seeds

Flax seeds or chia seeds seem tiny, but they are PACKED with protein and healthy fats. Slipping a scoop of either into your shakes adds protein, healthy fats, and fibre for many health benefits. They also make the shake thicker when it sits for a period of time, because the seeds absorb the liquid - so you might need to add a bit more.

Take Home Message

When you’re looking to bulk up and add mass, Myprotein gainer blends have a lot to offer - and the recipe possibilities are endless. Add these shakes in addition to a healthy diet and well-rounded workout plan and you’ll being seeing gains in no time.
