Currently, mine is Mammoth Mass Gainer, spinach, frozen fruit, hemp/flax seeds, goji berries, PVL MCT oil and milk, all thrown into a Nutribullet!

    Looks good. Mass gainers are about 75% cheap fillers. You're better off going with whey protein and adding your own "mass gaining" ingredients (oats, chocolate syrup, etc.). May want to consider shifting the MCT oil to another part of the day. Conventional wisdom says to avoid fats immediately post-workout.

    The authors don’t quite succeed in destroying the perceived necessity of post-workout nutrition. A post-workout meal certainly won’t hurt you, and is probably going to help. But they do succeed in illuminating the fact that pre-workout nutrition and total caloric intake are equally important factors. If an athlete is training fasted, then a post-workout meal is critical. If an athlete is training multiple times per day, then a post-workout meal is critical. But for athletes who train once per day, get adequate calories throughout the day, and ensure they consume a solid pre-workout meal, that hallowed two-hour window to suck down a protein shake may not be as important as we once though
