Mass gainer shakes are the ultimate way to pile on pounds if you struggle to gain weight on your normal diet. The problem is, to gain mainly muscle and not fat, you need to keep your diet clean as well as in a calorie surplus.

It’s all too easy to dirty bulk, but if you’re looking to keep it lean while you get big, then you need to eat right while you eat more. Taking on a mass gainer shake will help you to keep it healthier while you make up the mass. Luckily, @niallkirkland has got 3 tasty recipes to shake up your snacking and get you the calories you need to make the gains you want.

All these shakes have a surplus of 500 calories, simple ingredients and take minutes to prepare for a super convenient way to meet your macros. We’ve made it with the same Vanilla Weight Gainer Blend, so that you can make all three shakes with only one bag of protein.

Fancy something indulgent? Tuck into a creamy cookies and cream mass gainer shake. Feeling fruity? This strawberry cheesecake smoothie bowl is the perfect way to fuel your day. Going nuts trying to gain? Sip on thick peanut butter and hazelnut spread smoothie for a scrumptious calorie boost.
