I've been getting monthly shipments of this health food shake mix called Kachava.

It's pricy but it has over 70 high grade superfoods. I wanted to improve my health so I started drinking a shake a day. 2 scoops of either flavor with a frozen banana and a cup of another fruit offering which I would rotate along with the Kachava flavor. I add whatt fruit I can buy in bulk frozen or freeze it myself such as cubed oranges. I wasn't trying to gain weight I was trying to have more energy and get healthier. But after 3 months I've noticed that it made me gain weight. At first it was a meal replacement for lunch but eventually I got used to it and started eating normally with the shake as extra calories. After noticing that my clothes felt tighter and I had at least a two weeks of belly bloat going on I was finally weighed at my doctor's office at 255 lbs. I think I gained between 5-10 pounds in those 3 months. I also ran out for 3 weeks thanks to the post office being late and my appetite rebounded. I did a lot of grazing that month and then I went back to my normal diet with a big shake a day. I've started adding new things to increase the calories such as a 1/3 cup of peanut butter and whole milk instead of water.
I might get adventurous for a little while and start adding a cup of heavy cream with a little whole milk to the mix. Or perhaps break up the shake in two parts and do a cup of heavy cream in each one with a hint of milk and some frozen fruit along with the Kachava. Frozen strawberries, a frozen banana, a cup of heavy cream, and two scoops of vanilla kachava with a enough whole milk to get it flowing thick twice a day would do the trick.
