HIGH CALORIE DRINK

1 (8 oz.) yogurt
1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. honey
3 tbsp. toasted wheat germ
1 c. strawberries
1/8 tsp. almond extract

Combine all ingredients in electric blender, whip until smooth and frothy. Yield 3 cups.

HIGH CALORIE PIE

2 can Eagle Brand Milk
2 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 (15 1/4 oz.) crushed pineapple, drained
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. coconut

Mix together and spread over graham cracker crust in 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan.

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST:

1 2/3 c. graham crackers, crushed
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. plus 2 tbsp. melted butter

Mix well and press into pan. Spread milk and cheese mixture over crumbs; then top with 2 (20 ounce) cans cherry, blueberry, peach or apricot pie filling. Freeze to make crust flakier.
This recipe is guaranteed to add many pounds to the thinnest (or fattest) framed person! I omit the coconut most of the time - not for calories but for taste.

HIGH PROTEIN MUFFINS

2 c. soy flour
1 c. dry powdered milk
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 c. chopped dates or raisins
1 c. chopped nuts
3 slightly beaten eggs
3 tbsp. melted butter
Grated rind of 1 orange
1/4 tsp. grated lemon rind
3/4 c. orange juice
3 tbsp. honey

1. Combine dry ingredients.
2. Add dates or raisins and nuts.

3. Combine remaining ingredients and stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

4. Fill muffin tins 2/3 full.

5. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

HIGH PROTEIN PANCAKES

1/2 c. milk
2 tbsp. dry milk
1 egg (2 for a thinner crepe-type)
2 tsp. oil
1/2 - 3/4 c. pancake mix

Measure milk, dry milk, egg and oil into blender or bowl. Beat until egg is well blended. Add pancake mix. Stir or blend at low speed until mix is wet but some lumps remain. Cook on hot greased griddle or fry pan, turning when firm to brown the other side. These can be kept warm in a warm oven, or in a covered pan on low heat. Makes seven 4 inch pancakes.
Note: If there is batter leftover, it will keep one day in the refrigerator, or it can be made into pancakes, cooled and wrapped in foil to be frozen for later use. To reheat, leave in foil and place in 450 degree oven for 15 minutes. If using a toaster oven, unwrap them, brush with butter and toast as for light toast.

Eating a lot of protein and carbs will help you to gain weight.
Foods such such as grilled chicken, steak, pastas, potatos (starch) will help.

Also, try lifting weights (even light weights if you don't want to get bulky). This will help tone, and add mass to your body.

There are also supplements you can take. Or you could drink the beverage called Boost (a chocolate drink) in between meals to help add calories to your daily intake. This drink is healthy, so you will be getting extra calories, but they won't make you unhealthy.

Focus on protein and nurtients, eat 6 times a day instead of 3. Snack at night. And yes, keep up exercise. It's all about health, not just weight.

Eat stuff like:

lowfat dairy products
beef or chicken stews
fruit cobblers or crumbles
add sauces to veggies (cheese, hollandaise)

You can regularly complement with a product like "Ensure". It is filled with balanced energy tastes well and can percent the burden on. As some distance as meals is going, consume plenty of difficult carbs like pasta with tons of protein within the kind of lean meats. Whole grain breads may also percent the kilos on. The key is to consume beneficiant quantities and steer clear of sugars and fat. Make a meal or snack out of Ramen Noodles and most sensible it off with steak or seafood. Yumm!
