Chocolate Protein Shake
A chocolate protein shake is a quick, satisfying way to fuel your day, blending rich cocoa flavor with protein, healthy fats, and natural sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 frozen banana
- ½ tablespoon ground flaxseed
Instructions
- Add the almond milk to a high-speed blender first, followed by the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, peanut butter, honey, frozen banana, and ground flaxseed.
- Blend on high speed until the shake is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
- If the shake is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend again until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes
- Use a frozen banana: A frozen banana creates a thicker, creamier texture without watering down the shake with ice.
- Add liquids first: Pour the almond milk into the blender before the other ingredients to help everything blend smoothly.
- Adjust consistency to taste: Add a splash of almond milk if the shake is too thick, or a few ice cubes if you want it colder.
- Check protein powder sweetness: Some chocolate protein powders are already sweetened, so taste before adding the full amount of honey.
- Serving Suggestions: Enjoy this chocolate protein shake alongside our Smoked Salmon Breakfast Bowl or No Bake Protein Balls for a balanced breakfast or post-workout option.
