Creamy Weight Gain Smoothie
Servings: 1
This weight gain smoothie blends frozen pineapple, banana and full-fat coconut milk with pineapple juice and a scoop of protein powder into a thick tropical shake that tastes like Dole Whip. About 660 calories in one glass, in 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple frozen
- 1 banana frozen
- 1 cup coconut milk full-fat, chilled
- ¼ cup pineapple juice chilled
- 1 serving whey protein isolate
- 1 tablespoon raw coconut flakes optional
Instructions
- Pour the coconut milk and pineapple juice into a blender. Add the pineapple, banana, protein powder and coconut flakes, if using.
- Blend on high until smooth, 45 to 60 seconds. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Coconut Milk Tip: Use full-fat coconut milk rather than light. It gives the shake its creamy body and more calories.
- Dairy-Free Swap: For a dairy-free shake, swap the whey for a serving of homemade protein powder or another plant-based protein powder.
- Add Greens: You can add up to 1 cup of spinach or another mild leafy green per serving. Blend it with the coconut milk first for the smoothest texture.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The coconut milk may firm up, so shake well before drinking.
