Frosty Chocolate Protein Shake

A thick, creamy, chocolatey protein shake that tastes like a dessert but makes an easy, satisfying breakfast or post-workout treat.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened milk of your choice
• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
• 1 frozen banana
• 1½ tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup ice
• 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1–2 tsp honey, maple syrup, or sweetener, optional
• 1 tbsp peanut butter, optional
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Add the milk, protein powder, frozen banana, cocoa powder, Greek yogurt, vanilla, sweetener, and salt to a blender.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the ice and blend again until thick and frosty.
4. Add a splash more milk if needed, or another handful of ice if you want it thicker.
5. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Make It Extra Chocolatey

Add 1–2 tablespoons of chocolate chips or a little sugar-free chocolate syrup before blending.

Tip: For an especially thick, milkshake-like texture, use a frozen banana and freeze the Greek yogurt in small portions beforehand.
