Made my own shake - whatcha think?

[neofrost83]

Alright, at the suggestion of the members on here I made my own weight gainer shake. Before I list the ingredients and the nutrition info - yes it's delicious. I'm trying to drink one of these between breakfast and lunch and another one at night before bed. Here ya go:

• 1 scoop GNC Soy Protein 95
  
• 2 Large eggs (the whole thing...not just the whites)
  
• 1 banana
  
• 2 Tbsp Natural Peanut Butter
  
• 1/2 cup Steel Cut dry oats
  
• 1 cup whole milk (3.25%)
  
• 6oz. Yoplait Light Strawberry Yogurt
  
• 2 scoops Blue Bunny Vanilla Ice Cream

I inputted all the ingredients onto Sparkpeople.com and came up with:

1300 Calories

137 carbs

48g Fat

73g Protein


Whatcha guys think? Mind you this IS for gaining weight...and I'm not worried about fat (or getting fat for that matter). Is there anything you guys would change? And like I said the taste is freaking awesome!

Why go with a garbage protein like soy?

 

[neofrost83]

Someone told me that it's alright (not the best) because it's more natural. I bought the smallest container because of funds and because I didn't want to get the wrong thing and be stuck with it for a really long time. Each scoop is 25g of protein so I thought it'd be a descent choice with everything else I was putting into the shake.

Which protein do you recommend?

 

[Rodja]

Whey, micellar casein, milk protein isolate, or egg protein. Soy is not only highly genetically engineered, it's also not a high-grade protein.

Ya bro! stay away from soy! It can even raise estrogen in men. You'll be straight with any whey protein really. I really like dymatize elite gourmet. its got a blend of whey and casein, and it taste great, and pretty cheap.
