Hi Bracken, if I wanted to add weight I would make a smoothie with 2 pears and 2 bananas, add 1 tsp of spirulina or 2 handfuls of spinach or kale. You can add some hemp seeds in there too if you don't find it too heavy. A handful of gojis can be good too.

nuts and nut butters are the easiest thing to eat to gain weight. hemp protein is, well, protein, but makes smoothies kind of chunky and gross (imo). i like raw power, it has brazil nut protein, way less gross.

Ju,
The best smoothie I have come across that has a high caloric density is one of my favorites...banana/mango/date.
-2 ripe bananas
-1 ripe mango
-1/2 cup dates soaked in water for 1 hr.
-1/4 cup hemp seed
-1 cup water or nut milk

Blend and enjoy!!
