- And is very easy to drink.
If you want to gain weight then all you do is:

The Weight Gain Shake Recipe
The video below shows how to make a weight gain shake using a chocolate flavour and using semi-skimmed milk. Lower down the page there is more information on different flavours, as well as using water, juice, etc.
Why make a weight gain shake this way?
Because the key to the best weight gain shake is to focus on 3 elements:
- The right type of weight gain shake mix powder
- What liquid you blend it with
- 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.
