So I don’t work out much but I have a very physically demanding job, I’m a 39 male who has weighed 150lbs for as long as I can remember, I want to gain weight. I’ve started making smoothies every morning and was thinking of adding protein powder to them but looking online has got me very confused between whey protein and plant based and there seems to be a lot of brand options why advice or suggestions would be really appreciated also if anyone’s got a good smoothie recipe for weight gain that’d be awesome too

get whey protein unless you find it hurts your tummy. Costco has good protein, if you aren't seeking any fitness benefit, just simple weight gain, any protein will do. In terms of smoothie recipe, i add fruit, protein, peanut butter, flax seed.

Awesome thanks that’s pretty much what I use in my smoothies as well as yogurt and chia seeds
