For weight gain, pick the protein powder that still sits well at two shakes a day, mixes into whole milk with a spoon, and tastes good in week eight. NØRSE CØDE is the powder we built for that, and below is how to build a gain shake on it.
A scoop of powder gives you protein. Weight comes from eating more than you burn, every day, for weeks, and the way most people manage that is a shake that adds a few hundred calories on top of what they already eat. A gain shake has to survive rushed mornings and low-appetite afternoons, which makes the powder underneath it matter in three ways: whether your stomach tolerates it twice a day, whether it blends into thick liquids, and whether you look forward to it.
NØRSE CØDE is not the highest-calorie powder on the shelf. A serving is 110 to 130 calories, and mass gainers print a bigger number on the tub. The extra calories in our shake come from what you stir in, and a shake you finish twice a day adds more over a month than a bigger number in a tub that sits half used.

The protein is a blend of pea, rice and barley. The formula has no artificial sweeteners, gums or fillers, and no sugar alcohol doing the sweetening. Because the powder itself adds so little sugar, the shake you build around it is the one you control: whole milk, oats, a banana, a spoonful of peanut butter, whatever fits your day.
A powder with gums or sugar alcohols tends to announce itself over a month of twice-a-day shakes, usually about an hour after the glass. Read the ingredient line of any powder you are considering for thickeners such as xanthan or guar gum and for sugar alcohols such as erythritol, and run your first week on a day you can pay attention.
We formulated NØRSE CØDE with prebiotic acacia fiber and no gums or sugar alcohols. Here is what one customer wrote:
"This is the first plant protein powder I've tried that doesn't make me gassy or bloated. The chocolate tastes great and I drink it almost every day and still love it."
A gain shake is thick: whole milk, yogurt, oats, nut butter. NØRSE CØDE dissolves in hot or cold liquid, so a glass, a scoop of powder and a spoon are the whole kit, and a blender step that goes undone most weeks never comes into it.
A customer who uses it with several of those:
"Really like the clean ingredients, mixes well with milk, yogurt, fruit, etc."
Gaining takes months, and the flavor that was fine on day one has to hold up for the whole stretch. In the results of our blind taste test, tasters who did not know whose powder they were drinking chose NØRSE CØDE more often than Orgain and Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder combined.
That test was one sitting. For week eight, drink whatever you are considering with the liquid you really use, several mornings in a row. One customer described how it fits an ordinary afternoon:
"Chocolatey, satisfying but still light some how. Just right for an afternoon snack!"
NØRSE CØDE contains coconut, from the MCT oil in the formula. The blend also includes barley protein, so it is not gluten-free. With celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity, this is the wrong powder for you. For a whey intolerance, this guide to powders for people who cannot tolerate whey covers that ground.
We make it ourselves in our own facility in Petaluma, California, and we third-party test every input for heavy metals.
A bag is 14 servings, so at one shake a day it lasts two weeks. Run it through a full bag the way you plan to use it, once with milk, once in a smoothie with fruit and oats, once after training, and see how your stomach feels about an hour after each glass. Every bag carries a 60-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked, which covers well past the first bag. If the stomach question comes up for you more than you'd like, we go deeper in protein powder and bloating, with the questions answered.
