Recipe : MASS GAINER

What is mass gainer?

Mass gainer is a supplement to add those extra calories into your diet. It generally comes in a powder form when you buy. It can be mixed with water / juice / milk to consume. 

Who needs a mass gainer?

Well, any gym rat who is struggling to build quality lean muscle because he/she is not able to meet daily required calories by clean eating can benefit from a mass gainer.

I prefer making a mass gainer at home than buying one from the market. You never know what the processed mass gainers contain...Personally I am skeptical when it comes to buying ready made products and I always minimize it whenever possible.  

Here is a simple recipe to make homemade mass gainer.

Ingredients Required

1) 2 Scoops whey protein powder (50gms of protein, but that depends on the brand you are using)

2) 100gms oats (69gms of carbs)

3)1 large frozen banana

4) 500ml cold whole milk(approx. 15gms of protein and 15gms of fat)

5) 15 almonds (9 gms of fat)

6) 2 table spoon peanut butter(15gms of fat)

7) Couple of ice cubes

8) All natural honey (recommended only if you have a sweet tooth)

9)Cinnamon powder

10)Chia seeds

11)Thulasi (Holy basil) 

12)Spinach (Sometimes I skip spinach. Adds it depending upon my mood)

Now blend all the ingredients in a mixer blender for 2-3mins. You can always alter the amount of each ingredient to meet your daily macros.

Thats it. Enjoy your healthy mass gainer.
