Did you know that most weight/mass gainer supplements are loaded with sugar and Maltodextrin.
Some even have relatively low protein content as compared to sugars or carbohydrates.
So in the end what you end up paying for is majorly carbohydrates in processed form. You can get much better quality carbohydrates right in your kitchen that too at a much lower price.
Some basic ingredients readily available that you can use to prepare a homemade mass gainer shake are:
- Dates
- Honey
- Almonds
- Peanut Butter
- Banana
- Chia Seeds
- Mango
- Whole Milk
- Oats
The best thing about preparing your own mass gaining shake is that you exactly know how much of what ingredient you are adding.
Also, since you are using whole foods as compared to a processed supplement your body even gets a lot more micronutrients.
