Homemade Weightgainer/Postworkout Shakes

[ritch]

Alright thanks for the ideas! Would just regular ole sugar be the best options to add to whey protein for fast digestion postworkout too? Thought about a 1/2 cup oats, 2 scoops whey, then adding basic sugar for faster absorbtion?

I use oats post workout, but only because I use gatorade intra workout. If I were you, I would use gatorarde or just plain sugar as you mentioned. A 2:1 carb to protein ratio would be a good place to start.

Then when you're hungry, eat a big meal with lots of protein and carbs.

Nothing wrong with getting your simple sugars from a small handful of gummy bears or other candy post workout. This hsas worked for me and most of my buddies for a long time now. 10 sour patch kids 20 minutes preworkout followed by 20 gummi bears about 20 minutes post workout. I only do this when I am bulking or on maintenance. When I'm cutting I'll use natural fruit juice post workout instead. Probably the same amount of sugar as the gummies, but psychologically it makes me think I'm doing better.

That's very true! Those little fuckers are addictive and you feel like you could eat hundreds after a nice workout, haha.

One of my favorite post wo shakes is

8oz apple juice
1 bananna (frozen ahead of time. Makes a big difference it being frozen)
1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries

Add water to 24oz mark on blender and blend (if you blend with the whey in it, the shake ends up real foamy)

After blended, add and pulse several times until mixed. DO NOT OVERBLEND or it becomes full of air.

3 tbs dextrose
1 scoop ON strawberry vanilla whey
1 scoop NOW Unflavored whey isolate (if you want you can just add 2 scoops of the strawberry banana, but I like using unflavored whey as not to overpower it)

It is really the best thing ever

You can add a 1/2c or cup of pre-ground oats (I always keep preground oats on hand) if you want even more carbs.


If you are not interested in it for PWO but rather a meal replacement, just cut out the dextrose and add in oats. For added fat, either mct or coconut oil (which are both flavorless)

8-12 raw eggs, 1 cup of oats and 1 bannana,peanut butter if you choose and if you want you can toss in a scoop of vanilla whey post. This shake is tough on your gut, so I wouldn't take it pre.
