#1 The 2000 Calorie Smoothie

This is a real calorie-bomb smoothie! It’s perfect if you want to bulk up fast and put on a lot of mass. 

It contains a lot of every macro-nutrient and also gives you a lot of fiber and vitamins from strawberries and bananas. 

You can split the smoothie into two servings to make it easier to finish. You can take half of the smoothie for breakfast and the rest after your workout to help you recover.

#2 The 1000 Calorie Smoothie

This high-calorie smoothie is perfect for increasing your daily calorie intake to help you gain weight. 

It’s a great high-calorie breakfast alternative or a post-workout recovery smoothie. You can also divide the smoothie into two servings to make it easier to finish.

#3 High-Calorie Muscle Gain Smoothie – 1243 Calories

The high-protein muscle gain smoothie is enhanced with creatine monohydrate and glycerol powder. 

Creatine will help you build more muscle by increasing your strength and power output. 

Glycerol will hyper-hydrate your muscle cells with water which improves endurance and also makes them appear larger.

#4 Weight Gain Peanut Butter Smoothie – 1126 Calories

This smoothie is perfect for all peanut butter lovers out there. It also has a lot of protein which helps with recovery and maintaining muscle mass.

It’s an excellent high-calorie breakfast alternative that will keep you full and saturated until lunchtime.

#5 High-Calorie Chocolate Smoothie – 1172 Calories

This tasty high-calorie chocolate smoothie is perfect for bulking up. It has a lot of protein and carbohydrates which will supply your body with muscle-building material and energy.

The chocolate smoothie is the perfect high-calorie snack to drink in the evening while watching Netflix. It will help you reach your caloric-intake goal while also tasting really good! 

#6 High Protein Weight Gain Smoothie – 1116 Calories

This high-calorie smoothie is packed with protein. You definitely won’t have to worry about not eating enough protein with this smoothie. 

122 grams of protein will help you recover quickly after workouts and build a lot of muscle.

#7 High-Calorie Vegan Smoothie – 1179 Calories

This high-calorie vegan smoothie is perfect to fill your protein needs for the day. It also contains over 1000 calories which will help you bulk up and build muscle.

I also added 5 grams of creatine monohydrate into the recipe. Creatine monohydrate is completely vegan and is beneficial if you are on a vegan diet.

Creatine is found in red meats so it is usually difficult for vegans and vegetarians to get enough creatine in their diets.

#8 High-Calorie Smoothie For Elderly People – 1239 Calories

This high-calorie smoothie is perfect for elderly people. It’s easy to prepare which is great if you don’t want to stand in front of the stove for hours. 

The smoothie contains a lot of protein to reduce muscle breakdown. It also contains nuts that give you lots of beneficial omega fatty acids and calcium-rich ingredients for bone health. 

I also added spirulina and athletic greens that contain all the necessary vitamins and minerals. As well as digestive support, immune support, pro-biotics and nutrient-dense superfoods. 

#9 High-Calorie Smoothie Without Milk – 1045 Calories

This smoothie is perfect for lactose intolerants. It’s completely dairy free while still containing lots of proteins from vegetarian sources. 

It’s a great breakfast option to start your morning with a healthy and calorie-rich meal. Otherwise it’s also a perfect post-workout shake for muscle growth and weight gain.

#10 High-Calorie Smoothie Without Banana – 1085 Calories

This high-calorie smoothie is a great option if you have a banana allergy or otherwise don’t like bananas. 

I used avocados as an alternative to bananas in this recipe. In fact, avocados contain twice as much potassium as bananas, so it’s a win-win situation!

It contains a bunch of protein for muscle growth and recovery. You can drink it for breakfast or as a high-calorie post-workout shake.

#11 High-Calorie Smoothie Without Peanut Butter – 1237 Calories

This is the smoothie for you if you have a peanut allergy! It has a lot of protein for building muscle and recovering after workouts. 

It’s also a great quick breakfast drink to get a good start to your day. You can divide the smoothie into two servings and take the other half as a mid-day snack.

#12 High-Calorie Smoothie Without Protein Powder – 1221 Calories

If you don’t have protein powder available this is a great protein-rich smoothie option. 

This goes to show that you don’t necessarily need protein powder to make a great post-workout smoothie. This high-calorie smoothie is a perfect and easy bulking and muscle-building meal. 

What Can I Add To Smoothies To Gain Weight?

Fats are great high-calorie smoothie additions. Fats contain more calories per gram than protein and carbs. Fat has 9 calories per gram while protein and carbs only have 4 calories per gram.

Some good fat sources are peanut butter, coconut oil, walnuts and avocados. They blend together well with other ingredients and also contain a lot of important vitamins and minerals.

Protein powders are another great addition to weight gain smoothies. Protein helps you build more muscle and recover after workouts. 

Building muscle mass is the best way to gain weight. It takes a long time but the weight that you put on is functional, it helps you to be healthier, fitter and more confident.
