    1 cup whole milk, 1 banana, 1or 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 or 2 scoops ice cream of your choice (I use chocolate or vanilla)...u can also put in fruit, yogurt, oats, and nuts. I sometimes put in a bottle of Ensure Plus for extra calories! Its really good and has lots of calories....hope this helps...good luck!

    Please suggest protein dense foods to replace those protein powders. I want to do gaining weight in natural way, and to save money by replacing protein powders by foods... Is there any better side for using protein powders instead food?

    Oats are natural, affordable and also healthy and you can get gluten free! Oats have NO GLUTEN, but the growers and distribution chain share the same plants to gather and process the product as wheat! Oats are high in protein 17% and have lots of healthy fibre and lower blood cholesterol and are low in Glycemic Index.

    Eggs are so easy when boiled to pop in a lunch or snack box for later. Add them to your shake instead of Whey Powder. 6 grams Protein per egg,and dietary cholesterol has been cleared as a health risk in clinical trials.

    Flaxseed, sesame and Sunflower are all great for protein and good ways to go, the natural way!

    Coconut Oil is supreme inside your body and outside. Rubbed into your back by partner, to relax those tired muscles! Massage is also benefitial for reducing inflammation by warming theuscle,promoting blood flow etc. It might lead toanother cardio workout if you light some candles... itz all good!! Lol!!

    It has amazing properties - check out Google!

    Thanks for your post - I hadn't realized that oats had protein. My DH has lost his appetite due to health reasons and I'm trying to find different calorie-dense foods for him to eat. He stopped eating his morning oatmeal - I'll add it into a smoothie for him instead. I also just bought some ground flax and will be adding that too. Like @yaaros, he does not want protein powders etc.

    I'm a little surprised by your suggestion of a hard boiled egg to a shake - it sounds like an awful combination to me - but I've never tried it.

    Glad to help and glad you went ahead and purchased the Flaxseed, there's so many natural clinically proven superfoods... read on!
    Yes who would believe OATS would pack almost as much protein as protein powder! Weird huh, such an unsung hero. Oh BTW race horses are fed oats to fuel their hypertrophy... ever wondered why they look so muscular?
    Factor in the low GI Carbohydrate, cholesterol lowering and reduced heart attack aspect and cheap cost... it's a clear winner!

    Each EGG add 6 grams of protein and hormone boosting good cholesterol and turbo charge the bioavailabilty to rival any what powder!
    A single large boiled egg contains
    Vitamin A: 6% of the RDA.
    Folate: 5% of the RDA.
    Vitamin B5: 7% of the RDA.
    Vitamin B12: 9% of the RDA.
    Vitamin B2: 15% of the RDA.
    Phosphorus: 9% of the RDA.
    Selenium: 22% of the RDA.
    Eggs also contain decent amounts of Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Calcium and Zinc.
    Finally, throw a bannana or any berry to disguise the 'sulphury eggness' and hubby will be none the wiser and he'll never taste them, trust me! Give it a try! Oh Cinnamon will do that too, it has so many great health benefits too like anti inflammatory and blood sugar control via insulin insensitivity reduction. This is BIG, as it allows sugars to actually enter the muscle and drive growth. Take cinnamon in doses up to 1 gram daily with no adverse outcomes, replaces the need for sweeteners SUGAR, which is the reason insulin insensitivity is so widespread in western countries now. The rise in cancer, diabetes, arthritis, dementia is correlated to big food sneaking ever increasing sugar into foods!

    I'm trying shakes but holy crap. The one I was told to male was sickenly thick. It was 12 ounces of milk, one cup oatmeal and 3 scoops of my protein. No way I could "down" it. I was more or less, chewing it lol. I tried to get as much as I could down but only managed half

    Note the body cannot absorb more than 60 grams of protein in one sitting! E scoops is a waste and makes the flavour too strong and sweet - rich!!!

    Protein content of shake stuff
    1 Scoop Whey is 25g
    1 Cup Oats 15g
    2 Cup Whole Milk 8g
    Coconut Oil and banana whatever

    TOTALS 60 grams and 1100 plus Calories.

    To keep the shake thinner, add water and reduce Oats and fruits.

    Maybe because they're race horses? Don't get me wrong oats are great, but they're not a miracle food. A lot of this information (i.e. take cinnamon in doses up to 1 gram daily) isn't necessary. And some of this information (i.e. The rise in cancer, diabetes, arthritis, dementia is correlated to big food sneaking ever increasing sugar into foods!) isn't even true. Correlation does not equal causation.

    No food is a miracle food, and all of these essential vitamins and minerals can easily be reached with a well rounded diet and a multivitamin if needed.

    Also not true. Your body is able to regulate the speed at which protein is digested to ensure it can absorb all of the available amino acids. Protein just doesn't magically dissipate from your digestive system.

    Adding extra virgin olive oil is a great way to add calories to your shake plus it doesn't give as much bloat or volume as milk etc...

    Also I would say start lifting weights you need to stimulate your muscles and signal to your body that putting on weight/mass/size is what you want to do... Look up y3t it's a great training plan combine that with a decent amount of calories and you can't go wrong :)

    I'd recommend using ice cream, full-fat milk, and a mass gainer. Drink that every night before you go to bed, and you'll start seeing results in no time :)

    So I have spent a large part of my life trying to gain weight. So first before any supplement is added or incorporated ensure that you're eating enough calories (protein carbs and fat). Amongst that your shake will provide additional calories needed to hit ur "500+ extra calories daily" to gain weight.
    Long story short best shake I have had as a slow digesting shake for optimal results is 1 scoop powder(Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass Vanilla OR for more protein Optimum Nutrition Pro Gainer), 1 Banana, and 2 Cups Whole Milk. This shake is roughly 800 Calories. Lastly, on work out days as a post workout shake definitely use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein for fast protein absorption. You may or may not find this helpful but I hope you did.
