Healthy snacks for weight gain

Snacks list

Smoothie

Smoothies can serve as a healthy and effective snack for promoting weight gain when they are strategically prepared with calorie-dense and nutrient-rich ingredients.^[1][2][3] The ability to blend various foods into a single, easy-to-consume drink makes it simpler to increase overall daily calorie intake, a fundamental requirement for gaining weight.^[4][5] Beyond just providing extra calories, a well-formulated smoothie can be packed with essential nutrients such as healthy fats from sources like avocados, nuts, and seeds, protein from additions like yogurt or protein powder, and carbohydrates and vitamins from fruits and other mix-ins like oats.^[6][7] This combination ensures that the weight gained is supported by a nutrient-rich diet, contributing to overall health rather than just an increase in mass from less nutritious options.
