Make your own gainer - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Don't want to spend the money on a supplement and want to try to make your own gainer? It's quite possible and effective. The easiest thing to do is get a regular protein powder, and mix in a few tablespoons of flax or canola oil and some fruit for flavor. You can also throw in some peanut butter or processed egg whites for more calories and protein. Be creative, you'll be surprised how decent some of it tastes. Here's an example recipe:

16 oz. 2% milk
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1 banana
1 serving whey protein

Approx. Total: 820 calories
95 g carbs (40g sugars)
48g fat (but only 10g sat fat, plus lots of Omega 3)
53g protein

1 pint of milk
flavourless whey
50g raw oats blended up
3 eggs
1tsp honey
1tsp peanut butter
1 banana
2 tsp olive oil

done and dusted. Protein, fats, simple and complex carbs.
Ones above perfectly acceptable. just another variation.
