Another Homemade Gainer Recipe
That’s right, another good tasting homemade gainer shake recipe.
In it’s more basic form, gainer powder is just protein powder mixed in with a bunch of high calorie carbohydrate powder. Added to that are flavors and sometimes vitamins and minerals. But in essence, when you get a gainer shake you are getting Carbohydrate powder + protein powder.
That’s similar to what this gainer shake recipe does. Most of the ingredients are high in carbohydrates, and the mile and protein powder add protein to the mix.
This recipe tastes good and is over 1000 calories.
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Milk – Whole
- 1/2 Cup Oats
- 2 Tbsp Honey
- 1 Banana
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Scoops Protein Powder
