50 Smoothies for Weight Gain

For some of us gaining weight can be just as much of a struggle as it is for others to lose weight.

And society doesnt always particularly understand when it comes to living life as an

underweight individual.

But dont despair; drinking smoothies can help! Smoothies are a healthy effective alternative to

the other ways you may have been trying to gain weight. They are also delicious and satisfying

when you have access to the right recipes.

These 50 smoothie recipes are a great addition to your weight gain program or can even serve

as the push youve been looking for to get started on your goal of adding some extra pounds.

Forget about candy bars and soda. These foods are just empty calories with no nutritional value

and can quite frankly harm your health.

These smoothie recipes yield approximately 24-32 ounce servings and can easily be used to

supplement the foods you are already eating or replace the junk food youve gotten used to.

The smoothies shared here are higher in calories than other smoothies you might drink as well

as being healthy sources of fat. These sweet concoctions are quite capable of satisfying the

sweet tooth you may have developed while trying to gain weight in unhealthy ways.

Calories are always a concern when it comes to gaining weight; however, counting calories as

we all know is tedious, time consuming, and lets face it, no fun! All 50 of these smoothies have

a minimum of 500 calories and 9 grams of fat with the majority of smoothies having

substantially more as you can see from the nutritional breakdown of some of the calorie-dense

and high-fat foods used in the recipes.

Nutritional Breakdown

2 tablespoons (1 ounce) of:

Golden flaxseed meal provides 150 calories and 12 grams of fat.

Nut butters average 100 calories per tablespoon and between 8-9 grams of fat

depending upon the nut.

Greek coconut milk yogurt provides 130 calories and 5 grams of fat for every 6 ounces.

Coconut Milk

When using coconut milk in your smoothies choose the variety that comes in cans. This type of

coconut milk provides 150 calories and 16 grams of fat per 1/3 cup serving. Coconut fat is also a

medium chain fatty acid which means easier digestion and better absorption of the calories and

nutrients you need to gain weight.

The preparation method for all the smoothies is the same. Its easy!

1. Combine these ingredients in your blender and blend until the consistency you

desire is reached.

2. Serve in a tall frosty glass.

3. Enjoy!

Lets take a look at the variety of ways you can enjoy the benefits a healthy smoothie can

provide by simply by using your blender and embracing a few good recipes!
