5 Protein Shake Recipes For Weight Gain

It can be tough to eat enough calories consistently regularly if you are trying to gain weight.

One way to increase your calorie intake is to consume liquid calories such as smoothies and protein shakes. In addition to their nutritional value, they offer a wide range of essential vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and fats without overfilling you.

You can boost smoothies' protein content with pasteurized egg whites while retaining their taste. By pasteurizing egg whites, any harmful bacteria are eliminated, allowing them to be consumed raw.

With this smoothie, you get the nutritional power of antioxidant-rich berries, orange juice, and egg whites to give you a boost of calories.

Ingredients

3/4 cup pasteurized egg whites

1/2 cup frozen or fresh strawberries

1/4 cup frozen or fresh blueberries

1/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

1 small avocado

1/2 cup orange juice

Although weight gain smoothies tend to concentrate on packing in calories, they can also include a moderate amount of nutritional benefits.
