RECIPE

3 Budget-Friendly Bulking Shakes

Winter is coming, which only means one thing in the fitness community…

It’s officially bulking season. That means upping your calorie intake to make it to that all-important calorie surplus. Having to eat a load more food sounds great in theory, but for a lot of people that means things can get pretty pricey.

Luckily, we’re on hand with three simple, budget-friendly bulking shakes that won’t only provide a delicious boost of calories alongside high-quality protein and carbs, but won’t break the bank either (shout out to all the students, this one’s for you especially).

In fact, we’ve worked out the price per serving and all of these high-impact shakes come in at well under £1.40, while providing at least 489 calories (in fact, our impressive Peanut Butter Banana shake actually weighs in at a massive 653 calories per serving). We don’t think you’ll be able to beat that value with anything you can find in the supermarket.

Not to mention, they’re quicker and easier to fit into your day than yet another portion of chicken and rice.

Get your fill of these.
