Home-made Mass Gainer Shake

When on a bulk you're trying to push up your total food intake per day, and a lot of people sometimes have trouble eating more food. So what do they do? They go and buy mass gainers! Mass gainers basically provide a surplus of calories, carbs, and proteins, and fats. Now we all know that a five pound tub of mass gainer typically doesn't last over two weeks. But it can be quicker and more convenient to buy mass gainers instead of making them yourself, because all you have to do is scoop it into a shaker cup, add water, and voila! it's all ready and can be chugged down. But with each tub costing about forty bucks, they can add up to cost a fortune. So to save on price you have to get a little creative. So I decided to come up with a mass gainer shake of my own, that has high calories, carbs, and protein.The mass gainer shake I make contains: two cups of milk, one cup of fruit (whatever fruit you want), one serving of natural peanut butter, a half-full serving of oatmeal (optional), and a scoop of whey protein. So here are directions to make this mass monster:

1.) Pour one cup of milk into a blender
2.) Add one cup of fruit (your choice of fruit) and one serving of peanut butter
3.) Blend all of it together
4.) Pour in another cup of milk
5.) Add whey protein powder, and oats
6.) Blend again
7.) Pour into a cup and enjoy!

Now, onto the nutritional facts of this shake. The two cups of milk add up to 244 calories, 24 grams of carbs, and 16 grams of protein. The cup of fruit, let's say you added a large banana and that's it, would be about 110 calories 30 grams of carbs and about 1..yes 1 gram of protein, the peanut butter adds up to 190 calories 6 grams of carbs and 7 grams of protein, the oats add up to be 150 calories 27 grams of carbs and 5 grams of protein, and lastly the whey protein (we'll take 100% gold whey by Optimum nutrition) adds up to be 120 calories 3 grams of carbs and 24 grams of protein

So once you add all of this up it comes to a total of:
814 calories
90 grams of carbs
53 grams of protein

The taste of this shake is incredible! And if you want extra calories and protein just put in two scoops of whey protein instead of one! You can also add egg whites to. But most importantly 5 pound tubs of whey protein are 50+ servings, so a lot of shakes can be made before having to buy a new tub!
