Smooth, creamy banana chocolate protein shake: delicious and packed with protein! Get the easy recipe and enjoy every sip for a healthy boost.

Prep Time 3 minutes

Cook Time 1 minute

Total Time 3 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen for that thick, frosty texture)
• 1 scoop (around 25–30g) of your favorite chocolate protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based—whatever works for you)
• 1 cup of unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, oat, soy—your choice)
• 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder (for extra rich, chocolatey flavor)
• ½ cup of ice cubes (only if you're using a fresh banana and want that chill factor)

Instructions

1. Gather Your Ingredients:

• Make sure you have all your ingredients measured and ready to go. Using a frozen banana will result in a thicker, colder, and more ice-cream-like consistency.

2. Combine in a Blender:

• Pour the plant-based milk into your blender first. This helps the blender blades move smoothly.
• Add the banana (fresh or frozen).
• Add the chocolate protein powder and unsweetened cocoa powder.
• If you're including any optional ingredients like nut butter, seeds, or spices, add them now.
• Finally, add the ice cubes (if using a fresh banana and want a colder shake).

3. Blend Until Super Creamy:

• Secure the lid tightly on your blender and blend on high speed until all the ingredients are completely smooth and the shake has a luscious, creamy texture. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender's power.
• If the shake is too thick, add a little more plant-based milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

4. Taste and Adjust (Optional):

• Give your shake a taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add a drizzle of maple syrup or agave nectar and blend briefly to combine.

5. Pour and Top (If Desired):

• Pour your incredibly creamy Banana Chocolate Protein Shake into a glass.
• Get creative with toppings! As seen in the image, a sprinkle of extra cocoa powder, shredded coconut, or crushed nuts can add visual appeal and a little extra texture.

6. Enjoy Immediately:

• For the best taste and texture, enjoy your creamy Banana Chocolate Protein Shake right away!
