1000 Calorie Shake

[Albert987]

Just thought I'd share for the people who have trouble getting in enough calories especially in the morning.

I usually start with a shake consisting of:

-1/2 cup oatmeal
-4 tbsp peanut butter
-1.5 cups milk
-1 scoop whey (I like chocolate best with peanut butter)
-banana
~1000 Calories

Just blend it up and drink. It's been very convenient for me and I think it also tastes pretty good.

How many grams of protein?

How many grams of protein?

I made a few assumptions about the original poster's food choices and used CalorieKing for the raw data.

[Konstantinos Kavos]

A little over 60 grams as I calculate it.

[pbjorge12]

It's gonna be roughly 54 g of protein.

16 g in the peanutbutter
5 g in the oatmeal
12 g in the milk
20 g in the whey (depends on the scoop and mix)
1 g in the banana

I was drinking shakes that were almost the same recipe except: oat flour instead of oatmeal, honey instead of banana. You can adjust the oats/PB/whey to get whatever macronutrient ratio you want, but a typical scoop of whey will net you about 25g of protein, 4 tbsp of PB will add another 16g, and the milk will get you 12g which puts you just over 50g for a single shake.

That is literally the same thing I make every day. Good choice. The whey I use is 24g per scoop + 12g for milk + 14g peanut butter + whatever is in oatmeal. It isn't great but not terrible either, considering it can be made and consumed in a matter of minutes.

Add some olive oil and you got yourself one helluva shake.

where were all you people when my oatmeal shakes were being mocked in another thread? but getting skewered was worth it knowing that i'm a trend setter now.

hey everyone i wear pink socks in the gym too, it added 20 pounds to my squat.

Needs more carbs. You've got a nice batch of fats and protein, just pump up the milk to 4 cups and add a glass of OJ on the side.
