Best Products for Muscle Gain/High Energy Shakes

By Kia Molavi Momentum Nutrition Intern

If you’re looking to add some healthy mass to your body, or just maintain your weight, check out these products! Each item is packed with nutrient-filled calories that will increase bulk, while providing much of your daily value of many vitamins and minerals. Best of all, they are tasty, affordable, and ready to drink. Want the best bang for your dollar? Try Boost Plus or Ensure Plus. Looking for a good source of protein? Then EAS Myoplex is what you want. Trying to cut out the fat and still add bulk? Two words, Gatorade Recovery. When taken with regular meals, Carnation Instant Breakfast or Slim Fast (or in this case, it should be called ‘bulk fast’) will give you the extra calories you need. For the least expensive prices, purchase at amazon.com or Costco Wholesale.
