    What ia your favorite weight gainer?

    I usually make a shake consisting of milk, oatmeal, fruit, protein and peanut butter. Sooo good and around 1100 cals. I have tried a couple weight gainers. One tasted like chemicals and the other made me fart every 10 mins all day long. Just wondering if there is anything good out there that is a reasonable price? Thanks ladies and gents

    the chocolate flavored up your mass is insanely good and it does work. I use to do three 4 scoop shakes of that stuff and would crave it!!!! Plus the price doesn't break the bank either

    I agree with ya. I do like making a shake out of 'real' ingredients. At least I know what I am getting. Was just hoping for something new and awesome I haven't heard about

    i've never tried it with milk but i can only imagine how tasty it would be since with water it has a creamy consistency to it already. Damn you Doom now I have to make a shake!!!!

    Been drinking shakes for 26 years, both home made and store bought and they always work for me. When I was younger I ate a lot calories no way I could have ate all that in just food. Still use muscletech products and still working for me. To each his own IMO

    I'm not sure man. It was cyto sport mass gainer. Also when I do the cyto sport protein it really messes me up. I drink lots of milk with no problem, so who knows? Any other protein hasn't done that to me

    My favorite is chocolate peanut butter and swiss chocolate. Been using these 2 flavors for about 2 years now and have no intentions of switching out.

    My girl uses the french vanilla since you can't taste it when mixed with fruit.

    If you are a coffee drinker, you will love the cappuccino rush, but look over the ingredients as it does have caffeine in it.

    Cookies and cream I did not care for and have never tried strawberries and cream based on other brands that I was not a fan of.

    All flavors tried above taste good with water but best with milk. Some proteins taste like crap with water, so your good if you prefer water.

    Hope this helps

    If you enjoy fat gainers, great. But, using time issues as a reason is a bit silly. Takes me a couple of minutes to grind oats and throw them in a shaker with milk(whole, skim, almond, whatever you want), a crapload of liquid egg whites, pb, and anything else you want. It takes about two minutes more
    than using a weight/fat gainer.

    For me at 51, that always seemed to be the case. So, no more.

    i have got quite bad lactose intolerance. half a liter of milk will make me run to the toilet. a few brands of mass gainers gave me the same problems. even for protein powder, i can't take more than 2 scoops a day. got to look for something that has very little sugar, hopefully will work.

    Thank you dude! Very thorough. I am going to most likely lean toward chocolate peanut butter. Yum. Will work great with some pb oats and fruit mixed in.

    No problem. And the oats make it taste even better. Subtle change but tasty. I use almond butter but it's not a strong peanut butter taste so you can add a couple tbsp and be good without overpowering. I love peanut butter though, so the more the better IMO.

    Yes sir. PB makes everything better. My dogs like it to. Haha. They taste it for about 10 mins every time they are around when I'm making a shake!

    I think making them yourself is the best. Cytogainer isnt a bad product if you have the money to spend.

    Cyto was the one that made me fart every 10 seconds. Tasted good, but something in it makes me messed up. My gym partner did it though. I agree making it myself is best. Tastes best and I can Taylor it how I want.
