- Опубліковано 24 вер 2020
- The Poundstone Shake is a blended protein shake consisting of chicken and water (and sometimes other stuff) that increases your ability to take in clean calories throughout the day.
Used by Blaine Sumner and others, it's effective, albeit gross. Here's how I handle my chicken shakes!
Officer, I'd like to report a culinary hate crime
Lmfao
It can be made very tasty, if you know what you’re doing. No one should EVER eat pink chicken. You run the risk of getting salmonella poisoning.
This is pretty neat idea... I want to get bigger but I have a hard time eating because I have no appetite. Chewing all that chicken breast also takes forever and the longer I'm sitting there eating, the more full I get. Everyone commenting that its gross have yet to realize how gross chicken breast can taste when you have to force it down. At least when you drink it, it's quick and over with.
True
add 6 eggs in the morning i drink them because i dont like eggs easy 600+ calories
Facts, I can't eat enough but this worked for me, I'm a bit simpler, just throw in air fryer, no need to season, and water, blend, no frills

@@zbreima can you throw it in the blender after it’s air fried?
Add--
Steamed broccoli
.5 tsp grass fed butter
.5 tbsp cream cheese
1 tbsp grated parmesan
Use broth instead of water
Drink warm like soup
Much tastier
It's technically Keto
Why does it have to be tasty?
@@TobbeStorm because it becomes part of your diet. It helps a ton that things tastes good. Why do u think bodybuilders still use seasoning?
@@danielhenderson762 Sure is a part of my diet, and no I can't claim chicken smoothies to be tasty. Which doesn't matter either because its not something I sit down to enjoy, but rather something I throw back in half a minute so that everything else will work better
Oh man, the broth sounds like a MASSIVE improvement.
I made the same thing with a few bits of olive oil instead of the other fats (because he’s making a cut meal) and Japanese ‘dashi’. Had it slightly warm. Went down fast
I've been bulking for a while and this is one of the only thing that worked for me. All my friends think I'm Grose but um up 10 pounds of lean muscle doing this so far. 👍
putting beef stock instead of water and drinking it warm is actually not bad
Just did this and can vouch. 100% true.
Becomes like chicken-beef soup
buy organic kung pao chicken dry seasoning and throw some on the chicken while it's baking. also add sweet potato... it ends up tasting like soup. I can chug it down easily.. warm or cold with no issue.. tastes good IMO.
@@chrishayes5755 Did you try crushed tomatoes or normal potatoes?
That sounds like it would be good
Like this idea, thanks
You're a sick man, Bromley
Boil your chicken for about 30 minutes in water with four chicken bouillon cubes (5 calories each). Add garlic salt and pepper to taste. Put fully cooked chicken in blender with appropriate amount of broth you cooked it in. Blend. You now have a thick chicken soup that’s very tasty. No spinach needed, unless you want it.
bro this is the best. I can down 2 breasts in 30 mins easy. Thanks
@@zabrakhan5178 Try canned chicken. Already boiled so much less hassle. I mix it with fruits and peanut butter and hot water
Wait.. are you using the boiled water? Or are you just wasting all the nutrients? Wouldn't it just be better to add the boyon cubes dissolved with water into the blender?
@@krazus2036 did you not read my instructions? it says blend with broth made by boiling chicken with bouillon cubes, yes?
Bromley, you're a savage my man
Best way I've found to cook chicken in bulk (2 to 3 kg) is in a pressure cooker / instant pot. Quick rinse under the tap, then drop it in the pot. 3 to 4 cups of water, once it comes up to medium - high pressure, give it 15 to 20 minutes, then release the pressure slowly otherwise it spontaneously boils off an the shit goes everywhere. Guaranteed the juiciest chicken you've ever cooked. Literally falls apart in your fingers.
For extra credit, get some spices in there and you've essentially created a broth you can mix with the bird as a soup if you like. The flavors infuse throughout the chicken under pressure.
Also a plus if your cutting, no need for oil. Quick, easy, minimal mess and predictable.
We have an instant pot. Will give this a go
Well this is certainly interesting.
If you were going with the soup idea, why not roast your carrots, celery, onion etc in with the chicken breasts? Cooking them should take away any of unpleasant bitter flavours.
Thanks for this, I'll try this as soon as I get a blender.
This is one of those things you look back on when you are 90 and on your death bed and think, “what the fuck, I was so dumb.”
I’m trying like hell to hit 200 pounds , drinking as many chic shakes I can in a day , my god it’s amazing how much time you save rather than eating the meals
Did you succeed in hitting that 200.
@@sandiago7564 Im on more than 200 lb pretty lean mass and i swear by chicken smoothies
@@TobbeStorm Real happy for you. Any tips on how to make the chicken blend intake easier? What personally works for you?
@@juanzilla6436 Thank you! While bulking I make sure to add enough peanut butter for the calories, and that takes most of the taste away as well. While cutting you just trow some fruits and a handful of berries in with the chicken. Luke warm smoothie does go down easier, and you'll soon learn how to chug it in half a minute. Might seem like a unnatural thing to do, but i just keep the positive aspects in mind
@@TobbeStorm Thank you! 🥺
Great vid. I've found that I can add tomatoes, carrots, and seasoning if I microwave it in a coffee mug and eat it somewhat like a soup. The heat really helps especially if you blend it and refrigerate it to let the flavors meld together. Still, Alex's chicken, spinach, and water blend should be in every man's diet.
I am blending my food for couple of months and i gained over 20lbs (curently 190lbs)
Hey. Can u give an insight into your recipe. Trying to bulk up to. Ideally clean bulking
I’ve just had my first “chicken shake” and it honestly wasn’t that bad, I mean it’s not great and I had to hold my nose when drinking it but it’s saved me a TON of time, I already usually have some type of home made “greens” soup stocked in the fridge/freezer anyway, so I just blend my chicken breast up shove em in with the greens, bit of pepper and olive oil and it’s good to go
I don't care what it tastes like I'm tired of chewing. Also drinking a shake at work is more "acceptable" than eating out of tupperware every 2 hours. Thanks bro
...until they find out whats inside....
Love it! 😋 I make it when I can’t chew more chicken 🤣 I blended it with mix veggies
Started doing chicken shakes this past fall. The first batch I nearly threw up, the second one I had the idea of adding tomato sauce used for pasta dishes and it really helped. I do 1 Cup of boiled chicken breast or thighs, 1 cup of sweet potato, 1 cup of rice, 1 cup of black beans and a liberal amount of tomato sauce and a few teaspoons of olive oil. It's a chore, but I really don't eat that much and with these shakes Im able to at least get 1,000 calories. Another tip, it really makes it taste worst but it helps in the calorie department, I add coconut milk, not the ones you buy to basically drink but the ones in a Goya can, much thicker and chock full of calories.
Hey Alex, are you going to continue the nuckols 28 free programs series?
I am. Spacing it out so I dont end up with 9 straight videos about the same program. Another this weekend likely
Just an idea: heat-treated spinach has generally better bio-availability in terms of digesting micros, so I'd first blend it up with the hot chicken breast without adding the ice first and heat-treat the spinach that way. And then at the end add the ice.
What’s the purpose of the ice?
@@jordanstubblefield7406 to make it palatable :D
A can of beans can add a tasteless 15grams of protein and great for dieting due to fiber
I'd be interested in hearing your take on alcohol and lifting.
Because of this whole Covid bollox I've basically been a hermit. Fell into a habit of drinking a bit too much. 2 weeks ago I decided to get back on track and drastically cut back on drinking (I had been on like 3 double IPAs 5 days out of the week, now I'm where I used to be, one or two of a Friday or Saturday).
My god, the effect to training has been incredible. I've gone from 173lbs to 167lbs without making any other changes. Weirdly Ive found that workouts that used to leave me crippled with DOMS (snatch grip high pulls, incline press to name a few) are noticeably easier to recover from. I've always done cardio 2-3 times a week for health purposes (heavy bag work); this has gotten much easier and I'm not totally gassed from high volume squat workouts.
Leaves me feeling super excited for what's to come!
alcohol = poison / recreational drug. it's a depressant, it dehydrates you, puts a toxic load on your body so it's slower to recover, it also contributes to skinny fat look and the "hard beer gut".
Have you tried using stock instead of water? not sure if it would make it better or worse. A vegetable base might help. I know you said you already tried to make it more similar to drinkable soup but perhaps veggie stock is a better method than chopped carrots.
have you tried it?? Want to know if it taste good :)
I almost gagged watching you drink that, whilst I was drinking a fantastic Gin & Tonic 😃
😂
i use spinach with my chicken shake but use coconut milk instead of water, also i chuck in a couple spoonfulls of spiced couscous, taste good enough
I need a recipe book for different high calorie shakes, any ideas?
why not just boil the chicken...then blend by itself until its a mush...then put on a baking tray and bake until its dry... then reblend until its powder... now you can add the powder to your shakes like any other protein powder... toss in some chocolate if you like or any other flavor.... boiled chicken pretty much has no taste to it if you dont add anything
What temperature and for how long should I cook the chicken?? Would it be the same for beef??
tried this when I was about 16, couldn't do it and haven't looked back. I'll try it with my homemade chili tomorrow... that should be alright. Mostly I'd just like to save time, I hate sitting down to eat food that I'm only eating for growth.
Just started doing this again, used to do this 10+yrs ago. It's really hard to eat enough chicken, but far far easier to drink it although it takes some getting used to
Takes two days to get uses to it
@@tulipanrosas @zach B did it today but didnt get through much of it ive heard clenching you left fist helps the gag problem, hopefully i get in more tomorrow and the third day should be a breeze by then. Should i take a small sip as my first gulp and just avoid large gulps?
@@dominicdickson3797 bro, it doesn't taste bad, only the first time you gag, even if it's cold, it will take 2 minutes to drink it all. make sure to put seasoners on your food, Rice is harder to blend, easier to eat.
What are you do for your carbs? I'm thinking chicken spinach like you suggested but also adding some oats what do you think?
Get a few cans of noodle soup! It blends very well with chicken and peanut butter and maybe a banana
that'd be good sauce for noodles or something like that if you add chicken bouillon
What is your thoughts on blending ground turkey?
You’ve inspired me tbh
Is it possible to do like 9 shakes and store them in fridge for 3 days?
I’ve done it with some lemon juice I don’t think it can ever taste good but I still got it down pretty easily
I just dunk my frozen chicken breasts into water and boil it. Then just use the broth to blend the chicken with. Add salt and pepper and it tastes like a very weird soup. Add seasoning if you want but I don't bother.
I don't add vegetables because it increases the amount of liquid used which makes it harder to finish.
Did you try boiling the carrots and tomatoes in a soup before throwing them in? I feel like that could actually pretty good
I didnt, but I think I will. If there's a way to make this go down like Campbells soup, I'm all about it
Did you get this video idea from my comment the other day?
At this moment I realized I don't want anything that much.
Lol
Lmao
Wait, I searched up how much protein is in a chicken breast and it said 43 grams, is this an error?
I’ve used stock with it; beef, chicken, vegetable etc
Can you make pancakes out of this?
i love everything you upload, but i thought this was a joke at first
I do something similar, but much more tasty, I blend 4 chicken breasts with one avocado spinash and broccoli, spice it up with black pepper, cayenne pepper, cumin, dried persley and salt, the result is delicious, and enjoyable soup ! imo the best way to get chicken breats proteins down, you can easily meet 400g protein requirement in one drink !
That’s awesome, do you stock your shakes like blane or just make what you need for the day?
Why do you take 400g of protien per day ?
@@tulsidaaskhan2219 He only said 400g of protein in one drink, not that that was for one day. He might have a few of those in a day, hitting 800g or 1200g of protein in a day.
What about carbs, dudes?
Mixing all that chiken with some pasta.
Any ideas for better taste?
I add boiled chiken, pasta, some sauce ,salt and water.
Tastes bad but acceptable.
Any recepies?
3:47 lol 😂
I admire the dedication... That looks absolutely fucking revolting haha!
Would you not just make a big chicken stew or something? Really finely cut up the chicken, cook it with extra chicken stock, load it up with veggies. Delicious and very low calorie. Plus, if you cook it long enough the chicken just sort of disintegrates and you can spoon down a lovely hearty high protein soup thing.
Anyone do a salmon shake? If so, what did you throw in with the salmon? I’m asking because I have a lot of canned salmon on hand.
Typically I just open a can and mix it up in a bowl with some mayonnaise and maybe some garlic powder, black pepper, chili powder, salt, to mix up the taste. Sometimes I’ll throw in some mustard or soy sauce.
I've done tuna and OJ. It works
Why not try bone broth as a base? I drink bone broth + 1tbsp of matcha + 3 to 6 egg yolks with my meal usually post workout. I would assume subbing for bone broth instead of water, and matcha instead of spinach (for some caffeine) to your chicken juice would probably taste better? Plus you'll get glycine and more sodium. Bone broth is easy to make. Bake/Roast 2lbs of bones for 1 hr, throw the bones, water, 3tbsp apple cider vinegar, 3tbsp sea salt in a pressure cooker, stir, cook for about 3hrs. Recipes are very easy to find
Doesn't sound or look too bad, Alexander. Like you said, you get to a point where even looking at a chicken breast on a plate makes you feel sick.
I'm having difficulty eating my chicken and vegetables at work, mostly because I only have 15 minute breaks, in which I have to go to a break room on another level of the building, and I simply run out of time to sit down and eat without rushing. I'm thinking a chicken shake may work. I'm going to try it with some kind of stock or broth, and throw in some red onion, garlic, and possibly ginger.
We'll see how it goes, and I'll do my best to come back and share results.
Before i watched this video. I was thinking of making a smoothie with 4 hard boiled eggs, 16 oz whole milk and 1 banana......any thoughts?
DO IT
What's your opinion on vegan?
Going to try it tomorrow. I'm sick of eating chicken breast.
So how was it?
Have you tried adding whey protein? (chocolate flavour)
Why?!?!?
Did this for the first time this morning. Worst taste ever. Can't wait to do it tomorrow😊
Apparently blending the chicken causes loss of protein and other nutrients, don't know if its true or not
maybe try bone broth instead of water to get a more soupy flavor along with a bunch of electrolytes
I tried this , it's not nasty at all it tastes like chicken soup
I thought this was a good idea but now I'm thinking 4 scoops of whey would be way easier
I don’t get why you’re not allowed to eat spices and it has to be plain because spices are good for you
What about 8oz lean ground beef instead of chicken? Any opinions?
I might do a 'taster' series. Already implemented someone's recommendation for a 'broccoli cheese' variation that's been working well
@@AlexanderBromley I'm knew to this, and its interesting, it is a very quick meal. I was thinking about alternating beef with chicken.....so basically whether its chicken or beef shake...we are getting all the protein from it correct?
Man, I've drank some absolutely terrible tasting protein shakes in my life, but chicken slurry.... Not yet!!!
Blend protein with sweet potato for protein mashed potatoes
This sound good for bulk season
Dude it's a lot easier if you just pour the chicken water down your throat, instead of passing it all through your mouth,, ive perfected it to the point where I barely even taste anything
A little ghost pepper sauce helps give it a little pizzazz
Ahhh i tried this this isn't easy to drink i can tell you that 🤢🤢 almost vomited 😂😂 maybe if i add some lemons in there it may become more drinkable ? 🤔
Do it with orange juice. The acidity helps. I still can't chug it though otherwise I start to gag. Lol.
I thought it was weird at first but it's just chicken soup..
I'm super depressed and now I'm excited for an all time low. I can do this
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Im half way through drinking this now. Used 1lb of chicken breast, 3 large eggs, bottle of water, ice, and a couple of handfuls of spinach. Honestly its not that bad to me, i taste the eggs more than anything. Oh, also added some sugar. Took the bite off. So yeah, ill probably add less water next time. This batch is really watery. Ill say this is an acquired taste but try it out
I actually prefer it more watery as I can drink it quicker, putting eggs in for me is where I draw the line unfortunately hahaha
Yeah, i definitely did NOT do that again. Ugh
I MAKE A SMOOTHIES SIMPLY BY STEAM THE CHICKEN BREAST & BANANA , BLEND IT TOGETHER
I have been doing this for years. I am a fussy eater so all the foods that I don't enjoy but need to eat going in the blender ... I just hold my nose... can't taste a thing :-)
Love me sum good old meat shakes 🥰😍😍😍
Do you blend all 4 chicken breasts at once, and then store the shakes?
You can. A lot of guys batch them ahead of time
What does this do to your BM’s I know that gross just curious.
I dont think you are supposed to add seasoning to chicken
Trying this. Because my mouth is wired shut😫
Hard Gainers Rejoice
Eggs would be better, Raw, I her people say you want digest them , wrong, digestive enzymes
I honestly don’t see why if it comes down to this, why you wouldn’t just get whey and casein protein and make a 50g shake that doesn’t taste bad and has just as high quality protein.. I mean you can substitute any other macros and micro nutrients from other foods if that’s the worry
He mentioned some people have issues with milk-based proteins, including myself. I bloat and get extremely gassy. Meat sits light on my stomach and digests much faster for me.
@@JosephQPublic Whey isolate...
You can do this multiple meals a day. This is chicken. I don't think it's a good idea to have 3 or 4 protein shakes a day. Eating chicken 3 or 4 times a day, on the other hand, is ideal in my opinion. No matter how you try to justify protein powder, it will never be real food
Brian but how is it not real food? It has calories, macro nutrients, micronutrients. What is the difference besides you drink it
@Bradley Puppies WHEY ISOLATE.
Mmmmmmm
I guess that this is more tasty than Jeremy Clarkson's beef smoothie... but probably not by much.
ua-cam.com/video/vDlMLqdvHzI/v-deo.html
Anyway I make my nutrient boost out of protein powder and oatmeal to avoid having to eat too many full meals per day.
Also (this will make you cringe) I up my caloric intake by eating spoonfulls of olive oil. Guess that's just life if you are hardgainer with a low capacity stomach like me...
One of my first recommendations to hardgainers is to put olive oil right in their protein shakes!
@@AlexanderBromley That honestly sounds worse than straight up eating it. Oil drops floating on the surface of my shake? Ugh...
But Im glad to hear that others do this too.
This is gross. If its not as bad as it looks its is still bad.
Easier for me to drink egg whites
You don't absorb the protein if you drink it. You need to cook it
