Looks like my old gainer. However I would caution taking this except around workouts.
 
Put whatever you want in it that fits your macros. A homemade one is customizable to you.

For carbs: fruit, veggies, carbs, cooked sweet potato

Protein: protein powder, milk

Fats: nut butters, coconut oil, olive oil, whole nuts, avocado
 
my friends use to make sweet potato batter and just and more milk and use that as a shakke with some protein powder

Hey guys trying to save some money. Any suggestions on any homemade weight gainers that taste great?

Home made is the only way to do a gainer anyways,
More natural ingredients that are real and fresh and better tasting.

Whey protein as a base and add carbs and fats to suit your macros,
 
2% milk 16-24 oz, 2 scoops whey isolate, banana, 3 huge tablespoons peanut butter, cup or 2 of oatmeal, chocolate syrup, and a scoop of creatine mono. Kinda more of a weight gain sludge in my experience but worked great for football weight.

That kinda sounds delicious. Especially if one were to add in some cinnamon.
 
Literally ANYTHING OP!

Glad to see you're looking at making your own as opposed to purchasing a gainer. My homemade gainers usually consist of a lot of peanut butter, milk, oats, and sometimes a banana or two.
 
My 17 year old son has trouble with eating. We train together.
I give him half a cup of virgin coconut oil per day, that's 1600 kcal. Now he is growing fast.
The taste is not as great as you may think, I have to stay beside him to make sure he drinks it.

It's not olive oil, lol.
Coconut oil is an interesting compound, look it up. He is 6'0 tall and weights now 147 lbs, before 135 lbs. He simply does not eat enough food and when he does, it's crap like pizza.
We write everything down to keep track and he has problems with the amounts necessary to gain mass.
Since he is taking the coconut oil, he gained some pounds and he is looking really good for his weight, guessing he is at 12-13% Bf.
 
Coconut oil is tasty. I don't know if I would drink half a cup though. Look: chocolate milk/banana/whey/peanut butter. Blend it. Profit.

Add the coconut oil to this for a super growth shake!
 
i make that as my main carb source every day. other than white rice. i peel sweet potatos , boil them till there soft food processor and then mix in a ton of cinni.. and put it in the fridge.. as it is cold tastes like pumpkin pie.. add pumpkin pie spice and it tastes exactly like a slice of pie.. try it. youll be addicted in about an hr.
 
Nah man the spinach you can't taste. I tricked my wife with that, especially if you throw some blueberries in there. I like almonds and peanut butter, spinach, blueberries, flax seed oil. I mix it up a lot on what I put in there. Try some kale or broccoli

I am glad I finally realized that. I was thinking about trying broccoli. I am considering carrots as well but I think the carrots might change the taste a little. But when I blend stuff up I generally put in so much PB it probably wouldn't matter. I love peanut butter.
 
Ive been starting with two scoops of protein and then going with peanut butter. From there ive added whole milk, banana and granola. Ive been thinking of using coconut milk as well. I think im def responding better to these than i ever did to a weightgainer
 
Love peanut butter in mine. This is what I had last night. I put blueberries or strawberries. Sometimes granola or oats.

I make a generously filled peanut butter and nutella sandwich with the freshest multigrain bread I can find.

My goto liquid version is a protein shake with a big spoonful of oatmeal in it and a handful of berries blitzed up.
 
I do like a cup of blueberries , 2 cups of whey , half cup oats, 3 tbsp peanut butter and 2 cups Miilk , 3tbsp flax seed ,add a little ice and water , comes out to like 1,000-1,2000 Cals

This is specifc to post menopausal women , and flax has a great amount of omega 3'a in comparison to fish oil etc. also this study looks like it was taken in 2004? Or that's the original reference ? Plus I see multiple authors but idk if it's peer reviewed therefor I can't accredit anything they are saying .
 
2 Scoops Whey Protein
1.5 Cups Milk
1/4 Cup Walnuts
1.5 Cups Oatmeal
1/2 Cup Cottage Cheese
 
100gr oatmeal
1 banana
3 whole eggs
1 scoop chocolate whey
2 spoons peanut butter
5 dl milk.
This tastes great!
 
Great thread! I was just saying how I was struggling to get all the calories in I wanted. There are some good tasting ideas in here for sure
 
Burnfire said:
It just full of vitamins, and you won't taste it in a basic shake but with those blueberries and peanut butter your not gonna taste much else.

I strongly recommend mulberries too. Both for taste and vitamins. Check it out:-)
And yes, blueberries were great.
 
Love the recipes in here as I have a hard time getting calories I need to meet targets. I'd drop the raw eggs though due to salmonella scare.

I used to do raw eggs but my wife would get mad, so now at the beginning of the week I hard boil 18 eggs. I'll throw a few in my shakes here and there

Great idea! Thought Rocky Balboa was in this thread for a minute! Thank God for our wives! Lol
 
The risk of salmonella from eggs is really low but it's one of those things were you can eat 100 eggs and be fine but the 101st egg is the one that gets ya . Better off using just liquid egg whites
 
I'm still using raw eggs for my shakes. Have no plans getting salmonella anyway, so if it gets into one of my eggs, I'll just not receive it.
Cooked eggs is terrible in shakes, so I'll just take my chances. :-)
 
Hopefully it's less chance of salmonella in norwegian eggs?
