| Hi Friend,
Is there a more complicated subject than diet and nutrition? Ask a thousand experts, and you will receive a thousand different opinions, all claiming to know how to eat, what to eat, the magical macronutrient ratios you must use—and depending on which scare story is currently running in your morning newspaper—the foods you must avoid like the plague!
So, to help fuel your workouts, here's an excerpt from my upcoming book Thor Strength Secrets, including 4 easy-to-follow blender bomb recipe tips to bulk you up like a Thunder God.
Enjoy!
Shakes Story
Protein shakes are nothing new. Way back when Bill Haley sang “Shake, Rattle and Roll”, an altogether different kind of shake was busy rocking a generation of 50s strongmen.
Years before the high-tech protein shakes we take for granted today, these early concoctions were largely milk-based affairs consumed by the quart. Easily digestible, these shakes provided vital calories and nutrients in addition to muscle building protein—they were also cheap to create, making them an affordable and practical way to supplement a strength training diet.
The classic “blender bomb” is a noteworthy example. Legendary for its muscle building properties, this beast of the blender could contain all manner of exotic ingredients, including: pineapple, peaches, or even peanut butter!
In many cases, these shakes would feature in weight gaining and bulking diets, usually showing up in the place of scheduled mealtimes or snacks.
Here is an example of a classic “blender bomb” shake:
- 4 cups of whole milk
- 2 cups of powdered milk
- 1/4 cup brewer’s yeast
- 1 banana
- 2 tablespoons of lecithin
- 1 tablespoon of wheat germ oil
- 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream
Six decades later, and what worked so well for the strongmen of yesteryear can work for you too. Indeed, providing for your dietary requirements doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive, and is available to anyone with some imagination and a blender.
To help get your creative juices flowing, check out the following 4 recipe tips:
1. SHAKE, RATTLE AND ROLL. To add some “rattle and roll” to your homemade protein shakes, why not try some of the following ingredients? Pineapple, peaches, apples, oranges, mangoes, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, coconut, honey, molasses, soy flour, sunflower oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, eggs.
2. SMOOTHIE OPERATOR. Want to boost your potassium while tickling your taste buds? Try a banana smoothie! Just use frozen and peeled bananas and whiz them in your blender until smooth. For a twist, add a tablespoon of chopped walnuts and you are good to go.
3. WATCH YOUR WAISTLINE. For those watching their waistlines, try substituting your whole milk homemade shakes with non-fat milk or even yoghurt. Your blender bombs will still taste great only with a fraction of the calories.
4. CHOOSE CHOCOLATE. Writing in Visual Impact, Rusty Moore recommends using chocolate milk powder (“Nestle Quick”) and mixes it with non-fat milk. Two glasses of this chocolate delight after lifting rivals any of the expensive protein shakes when you are trying to add muscle, and it is also kind to your wallet. But why non-fat milk? Well, science says fat slows the digestive process, which is great most of the time... but after exercising, you want quick absorption. So how do you combat this and get the nutrients into your muscle cells fast? Non-fat milk. Choc-tastic!
