Sports recipes for weight gain. Cocktail recipes for gaining muscle mass

Protein shakes are effective and delicious remedy for gaining muscle mass. They are sold in the form of sports supplements, can be prepared by the athlete himself. The latter option involves knowledge of recipes for the correct balanced ratio of all the ingredients of a nutritious drink.

Athletes who prefer turnkey solutions, you should carefully consider the choice of product. It is necessary to purchase cocktails for muscle growth only from trusted manufacturers who have proven themselves on the positive side. The best foreign companies are companies such as Optimum Nutrition, MusclePharm and Weider. Among domestic manufacturers, the brands King Protein and Pure Protein deserve attention. They are much cheaper than foreign counterparts, have good quality.

Purchased protein shakes, especially foreign ones, are a perfectly balanced product with carefully selected ingredients. Unlike them, homemade drinks for mass gain must be prepared independently, choosing the right components and norms.

The basis of homemade protein shakes is kefir or milk with an average fat content. Cottage cheese or eggs are taken as a source of protein, and carbohydrates with sweeteners are sugar, honey, ice cream, jam, fruits.

It is best to purchase products for each new portion of the drink fresh. You need to drink a cocktail after preparation in the first two hours. To obtain a mass of a homogeneous consistency, you must use a blender. Without this household appliance, achieving such a result will be quite laborious and difficult.

Mass Gain Protein Shake Recipes


Ingredients:

  • cottage cheese - 150 g;
  • milk - 250 ml (1 glass);
  • strawberries with sugar - 150 g.

All components are placed in a blender, mix thoroughly. The sweetener, which is used as sugar, should be added at your discretion.


Ingredients:

  • milk - 250 ml;
  • cottage cheese - 150 g;
  • cocoa powder.

Cocoa should be taken in such an amount that is most to your taste. Finding the optimal ratio will allow the preparation of several servings with different amounts of this component. The main thing to remember is that a mass-gathering drink should contain maximum amount calories achieved by adding sugar or honey.


Ingredients:

  • milk - 250 ml;
  • cottage cheese - 150 g;
  • banana - 1 or 1.5;
  • jam - 2-3 tsp

Bananas and chocolate are two of the most popular shake ingredients that bodybuilders love to taste. Regarding this drink, it is banana and jam that allow you to get high-calorie nutrition for muscle mass. Their ratio in a cocktail can be changed up or down to provide the required amount of energy value and improve taste.

Purchased sports supplements or homemade cocktails?

Ready-made supplements allow the athlete to have a complete picture of the composition of the product, the number of calories, proteins and carbohydrates in each serving. The athlete does not need to spend time buying components and cooking. This option also has a drawback. If you buy a supplement with a taste that you don’t like, you won’t be able to return the product back. And given the relatively high cost of ready-made protein shakes, homemade protein shakes are much more attractive in this regard.

The time spent on making cocktails with your own hands pays off with significant cash savings. In addition, the athlete has a chance to experiment with taste, the ratio of various components in order to increase energy value drink. If you try hard enough, you can always have your favorite protein drink freshly made.

When and how to drink protein shakes?

The daily intake of a protein shake for muscle growth is from 250 to 300 milliliters. One serving is recommended to drink about 60 or 70 minutes before training, and the other - half an hour after class.

Proteins give impetus to muscle growth, protect muscle tissue from catabolic processes. The cocktail should be drunk an hour before bedtime. This technique involves reducing the calorie content of the drink to a minimum. Otherwise, there is a risk of gaining excess fat.

COTTAGE COTTAGE COTTAGE

You get a cocktail in which about 40 grams of protein at a cost of one serving of about 40 rubles. The most difficult thing is washing the blender, but even with that, the whole procedure takes five minutes.
If there is no mixer, then take diet cottage cheese 0% fat, it is soft like toothpaste, so this mixture can just be shaken well in a jar (naturally without a banana) For example, in such a special jar for sports nutrition (in the picture on the right - called a shaker).
If your body does not “take” milk very well, just pour water (you can use less water) and mix it better.

SCHEME FOR DIFFERENT SALADS
Idea from Maxim
Maxim offers to make a table with ingredients that will help to cook different nutritious salads. In this scheme, all components are divided into groups. As a result, we made such a simple hint:
1. Choose a protein base (1-2 types): Chicken breasts, turkey fillet, lean beef, shrimp, squid.
2. Choose vegetables (2-3 types): Tomatoes, cucumbers, Bell pepper, radish, canned peas, cabbage, carrot
3. Choose greens (1-2 types): green onion, leek, dill, parsley, lettuce.
4. Optional ingredients at will: Cheese, boiled eggs
5. Choose dressing: Olive oil, other vegetable oil, kefir, mayonnaise

Based on this, you can very easily make this or that salad.
Boil and cut the protein base from point No. 1, cut vegetables and herbs, add dressing, mix everything and salt - healthy salad ready.
Meat products and vegetables are a natural and very healthy food.

CHICKEN MEAT WITH RICE OR PASTA
Recipe from the blog author
Chicken meat is very good source valuable proteins and minerals, and rice and pasta are excellent carbohydrates.
Products used:
1. Chicken white meat (fillets or chicken breasts)
2. Rice or pasta(preferably spaghetti)
3. One or two tomatoes
4. Onion - one or two pieces
5. Vegetable oil

Boil rice or spaghetti first.
Heat a frying pan and pour a little vegetable oil (such as olive oil).
Cut the onion into rings and chicken meat into small pieces (so that the meat is quickly fried)
Fry the onion rings over high heat for a couple of minutes, then place the slices on top chicken meat, salt a little and stir.
After a couple more minutes, add the chopped tomatoes.
Continue frying this mixture over medium heat for another 5-10 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces. Tomatoes will give juice and the meat, after cooking a little in it, will become soft.
Additionally, during frying, you can add to taste lemon juice, chopped green onion, mayonnaise, pepper and garlic, choose what you like (I always try different options).
Stir well periodically.
Chicken meat with onions and tomatoes should not become dry, if it dries too much, reduce heat or cover or add more tomatoes.
When you see that the meat is ready, add boiled rice or spaghetti there and mix well. Continue to fry for a few more minutes, reducing the heat so that everything is well soaked and mixed.
If you add spaghetti, they should be boiled and drizzled with vegetable oil.
If adding rice, then add a little more oil to the pan.
By the way, sometimes, instead of chicken meat, I use shrimp, in which case everything cooks even faster, since the shrimp are fried for only a couple of minutes (but they, however, still need to be cleaned)
