Ingredients
Scale
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 frozen banana
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
1/2 cup water (or more for desired consistency)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Ice cubes (optional, for a colder shake)
Instructions
Place the frozen banana, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, almond milk, and water into your blender.
Add vanilla extract and ice cubes, if using.
Secure the lid.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides.
If the shake is too thick, add a little more water or milk until you reach your preferred consistency.
Pour immediately into a glass and enjoy your shake.
Notes
Using a frozen banana is key for a thick, milkshake-like texture.
Adjust the amount of cocoa powder if you prefer a richer chocolate flavor.
Taste the shake before adding sweetener; the protein powder might already be sweet enough for you.
