Making a Weight Gain Shake

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Rachael Richardson with Nutrolution in South Beach, Miami, Florida. In this clip we're going to talk about how to make a weight gain shake. And one of the things to remember is that when you're trying to gain weight, you want to gain healthy weight. So you want to use lots of healthy ingredients, lots of healthy fats, and protein and healthy carbohydrates to help you gain healthy weight. So in terms of making a shake here, we've got a few things to start with and you can feel free to add many more things, just keeping along these lines here. I've got a protein powder here that we're going to use and that's of course just to add some protein in so that there's extra muscle building going on. And I'm going to start in this case with milk, or you can use coconut milk or something of that nature with the base rather than water to add more calories. And this is whole milk, organic. So I'm going to add somewhere around a cup or so of this and I'm going to add my protein shake, my protein powder. Trying to get it all in the smoothie and not outside on the counter. And you can, although I'm not going to do it today, you can add something like nuts or nut butter again, adding more calories. I've also used avocados, which are really delicious in a smoothie. You can add bananas as well. These are all great foods. But for now I'm going to stick with my frozen fruits. These are some raspberries and some strawberries and some blueberries. And we're going to see how this turns out. There we go. Here it is and you can see it looks rich and delicious. This is Rachael Richardson and this has been how to make a weight gain smoothie."
