Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass Weight Gainer Protein Powder

Super! J’adore le goût vanille! On dirait un vrai milkshake

Its mild vanilla flavor goes well in the smoothies I make. Due to the long Covid I contracted, I’ve had difficulty eating solid foods, and the smoothies add the calories I need to maintain my weight. I just received my third order.

First of all I tried the vanilla and the chocolate flavor. Please do yourself a favor and only get the chocolate flavor. Listen, the chocolate flavor is the same in every other brand protein shake or mass gainer because they all use cocoa powder. So if you like chocolate you will not be surprise when you taste it. Compared to the vanilla one which has a very unique taste that I did not like. Just get the chocolate one.

Also, the servings say two scoops but if you have not seen the scoop it is the same size as a detergent scoop. It is even hard to take it out of the bottle. One scoop is enough for one serving (625 calories). If you do decide to take two scoops space them out throughout the day. I do not recommend this though since you should be getting the rest of your calories and nutrients from real food. One scoop every day is fine though.

Ok, so how did I mix it? I used a electrical blender. I have used a shaker bottle with the metal spring ball thing before since I did not have a electrical blender in my college dorm. But it taste much better if you blend it with an electrical blender because you will not have large clumps. Also, you can add other ingredients if you like such as peanut butter (chocolate flavor + pb taste freaking good just like reeses cup). Peanut butter adds more calories and protein to your shake. Do not take this mass gainer if you are not working out at least 3 times a week. You will simply gain a gut around your stomach area unless you are anorexic. Even if you are anorexic, you should still work out. And if you are like me and are still looking to add calories to your serving, add in 1 tablespoon of olive oil (120 calories), and you will not taste as long as you drink fast enough so the olive oil does not float up after you blend it.

So my shake usually is 1 scoop (625 calories, 24g protein), 12fl oz of milk (225 calories, 12g protein), 2 tbsp of peanut butter (190 calories, 7g protein), 1 tbsp of olive oil (120 calories). Total of 1160 calories, 43g of protein (hopefully my math is correct).

With all of that being said, I recommend to buy Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein (Extreme Milk Chocolate flavor) instead of serious mass because this gainer has a ton of carbs. The first ingredient is Maltodextrin which is normally found in soda and candy. You save a lot of money also since the whey one has more servings.

Last advice, use MyFitnessPal app if you have trouble gaining weight. Make sure you are actually hitting your calories goal. I used to think that I had a fast metabolism because I ate so much. But in reality after I calculated the calories, I was far away from hitting 3000 calories.

I gave it 5 stars because it worked for me. I went from 145lbs to 160lbs in three months. Yes I gained fat but also muscle because I worked out. I no longer take this after finding ON 100% Whey. Much cheaper per serving, a better selection of flavors, and a lot less carbs. Yes, it might not have the calories but you can definitely create your own mass protein shake by using the correct ingredients. Google svunt shake if you need an idea of creating your mass gainer with whey protein (it has 1659 calories and 95g of protein).

Have fun gaining.

6’2 150 pounds unhappy with my body wanting to gain body weight, muscle and strength 12/5/19

I did and to this day eat 6 meals a day: breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, supper, snack. then bed. this in the past was not even enough to gain the kind of weight, and muscle i was looking for. and believe me i was not skimpy on servings. And researched my diet extensively…i am not going to bore you with the normal Eggs oatmeal rice nut (haha) green stuff…extra..
But as any extreme diet program that i had cooked up for myself the endless Cooking, packaging, taking food to work eating every 10min break and obviously lunch time began to get exhaustive and i found myself cheating or just skiping eating “sessions” which gets expensive and is annoying and discouraging… also eating and trying to gain weight when you are under weight is hard! just eating enough is a mental battle in itself.
I ordered my first bag of Serious Mass in January 2020 i initially daunted by the huge doses required i decided take half sevings (one scoop) and to stick with my regular eating habits but integrate the Serious Mass into between meals. i also slightly dial back the amount I was eating for snacks. (like a handful of almonds or some peanut butter) Well i can tell you this stuff works great I noticed a huge difference in my hunger levels and in the amount of muscle I was gaining and weight.
4/9/20 as of today i weigh 190lbs and am still lean. great product. i take only half scoops whole is to much for me.
My meal plan now: Breakfast, Serious Mass, Snack, Lunch, Snack, (Workout after work) Supper, Serious Mass, Snack, (Bed)
Using this product sparingly even has greatly increaseed my results and weight gain i am very happy.
Now a few tips.( i have bought 5 bags)
Flavors: Chocolate. heavy not good for morningsbut good.
Banana. very sweet but light and good for morning.
Strawberry. mix of both (i got tired of it tho)
Mixing:
Do yourself a favor and get a 32 oz + shaker cup two heaping scoops is one serving will almost not fit in a 32 oz shaker cup dry! so take it in half servings and space it out.
Also do not put the Shaker ball in first it will be a dough ball. put your Serious Mass in your shaker cup add milk or water shake it up. there will be some clumps so then add the shaker ball in and shake again. this will give you the best consistency.
This stuff tastes like cake mix and can be hard to drink( just kinda thick) If you use water it will make it so much easier to drink after working out especially. (In the picture is 2 scoops on a small plate to give you an idea of the amount)
Over all great product! VERY happy with it!
