High Calorie Recipe to Gain Weight…..Fast

If you want to gain weight and build muscle fast, you are going to need the calories to do it.  That being said it sometimes hard to work in every meal, but don’t despair, that is why they invented smoothies.  Smoothies are not only absolutely delicious, they are easy to make.  I do not advise going on an all smoothie diet, but they can really help when you need a meal on the go and they taste better than any meal replacement powder out there.  Here is one of my personal favorites and all I use is a regular blender and I pour it into a shaker bottle.  The one I use is the type that comes with a little wisk shaped like a ball, I believe they call it the blender bottle, you should be able to pick up one at any GNC or supplement store for about $10.

Without further ado here is the recipe:

• 1 cup oranges
• 1/2 cup of bananas
• 1 cup of mangos
• 1 cup of orange sherbet (I use blue bell)
• 1/2 a cup of ice
• 1 scoop of unflavored protein powder (about 64 grams)

I am telling you it tastes awesome it is the best tasting orange smoothie I have ever had!  For those of you out their counting here is the breakdown.
