Overview
Gaining weight requires eating more calories than you burn. Protein shakes or smoothies with ingredients like bananas, eggs, yogurt, avocado, and tofu can give the right nutrition without causing bloating.
If you’re trying to gain weight, eating enough calories on a consistent basis may be a challenge.
One common strategy is to take advantage of liquid calories from protein shakes and smoothies. These beverages provide a concentrated source of nutrients such as protein, carbs, and fats, plus vitamins and minerals, without making you feel overly full.
You may be able to add them to your diet in addition to solid meals.
Here is of the top protein shake recipes to aid weight gain.
