• That are quickly absorbed into your system
• And is very easy to drink.

If you want to gain weight then all you do is:

• Drink the weight gain shake 2 or 3 times per day
• Ideally after meals
• On a consistent basis.

The reason it works is because you are adding a regular amount of extra calories to your diet during the day – following a consistent plan, to help you get lasting results.

Why make a weight gain shake this way?

Because the key to the best weight gain shake is to focus on 3 elements:

1. The right type of weight gain shake mix powder
2. What liquid you blend it with
3. Any other additional shake items – such as fruit, vegetables, etc.

Taking them in turn:

Element 1 – The weight gain shake mix powder

When many people are thinking about making a weight gain shake then it’s tempting to go for as many calories as possible.

Yes, a really high calorie shake might sound great, but most people will struggle to drink them more than once a day (if that) and very often give up after a few days.

Similarly you need to be very careful when buying a powder in a supermarket or specialist shop because tubs (often containing pictures of bodybuilders) might only work if you go to the gym, and won’t help you if you simply want to ‘look a bit less skinny’.

The key to making the best extra calorie weight gain shake is to use exactly the right type of powder to fit in with your own individual objectives

The extra calorie shake mix is what is used in making the extra calorie weight gain shake

Element 2 – The liquid you blend it with

What liquid you use to make your weight gain shake is very important.

Yes, some people are lactose intollerant (can’t drink milk) or you might simply prefer to have shakes made with water or juice, etc..

The advantage of the extra calorie shake mix is that you can blend it with anything you like. The video shows how to blend it with semi-skimmed milk. It will work the same way with water, etc.

Similarly the video shows it being made using a blender, but you can also simply shake it in a bottle for similar results.

Element 3 . Adding Bits.

Yes the weight gain shakes above is easy to make but if you would like to experiment then you can always add some other items to the shake.
