What smoothies are good for weight gain that can help someone who struggles with appetite? - #22029

Sofia

I am really struggling to put on some weight lately, and I've heard that smoothies might really help. I have a pretty fast metabolism, and it feels like no matter what I eat, I just cant gain any. I’m quite active too, like I go to the gym regularly and all that, but I feel like I’m just burning way too many calories to keep up with what I need to be taking in. I’m tired of feeling underweight, and it’s starting to get to me, honestly. So I was thinking smoothies could be an easier way to get a lot of calories in without feeling like I’m forcing food down. I mean, I like all sorts of flavors, but it's just hard to find the right mix of stuff that doesn’t feel too heavy or too sugary. Anyone know what smoothies are good for weight gain? I’ve heard of adding protein powder, but I don’t want to depend on that too much. I’m also not a huge fan of dairy, so that complicates things a bit. I’m curious if there are specific fruits or nuts I should be throwing into the blender or maybe even greens that won’t mess up the taste. I love bananas and berries, but are there others I should know about that could help? And about nut butters, like is almond butter better than peanut butter for this sort of thing? I’d really appreciate any recommendations because I feel like I need a major boost right now. Plus, I heard adding oats can be good for smoothies too? Is that true? How much should I even be blending together to make it filling enough? There's just so much info out there, it can be super overwhelming! Honestly, I’m just looking for some tried and tested recipes or combinations of what smoothies are good for weight gain that I can whip up quick before or after my workouts. If any of you have successful weight gain journey, please share what you did! I just want to feel more energized and healthier, and smoothies sound like the perfect way to do that. Thanks in advance for the help.
