Eating frequent and nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day is key for people looking to gain weight. Consuming foods that are high in healthy fats and quality protein (in combination with regular exercise) can help to rebuild lean muscle mass (1)(2).
Landish Canadian Cricket Protein Powder and 5 Plant Protein Powder are good sources of protein and healthy fats, while our Pure Canadian Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen is high in amino acids.
As part of a healthy diet, all of our products can be combined with energy-dense whole foods like milk (plant-based or dairy), yogurt, fruits, nuts and oats to make easy and nutritious snacks like parfaits, smoothies, and shakes. If you're looking for inspiration, you can check out our recipe page for some ideas.
