Constantly replenishing your supply of protein powder can be a strain on your wallet, so here's a weight-gaining recipe that doesn't use protein powder. Instead you get quality sources of protein from liquid egg whites and Greek yogurt, which add the "yum" factor to your smoothie. If you want to add extra calories and sweetness, use a frozen banana instead of ice.
