Published 1/1/2020 • Updated 3/24/2024 But, guess who ended up drinking most of my smoothie once we were snuggled up on the couch? He couldn’t believe that it actually tasted like dessert! Whether you are looking for a protein shake for a post-workout shake or as a sweet treat with a little added protein, this chocolate protein shake is nutrient-dense and so delicious💪🏻!
Chocolate Protein Shake Ingredients
The base of this protein shake is frozen fruit. People always ask if they can use fresh fruit instead. You can use fresh fruit, but we recommend frozen fruit. It keeps it creamy, cold, and delicious. We use frozen blueberries, frozen bananas, cocoa powder, Greek yogurt, cashew butter, almond milk and protein powder. Chocolate Protein Powder- Chocolate protein powder is a great way to have chocolatey goodness in your smoothie with the added benefit of protein! We used Bulletproof Collagen Protein in this smoothie, but feel free to use your favorite protein powder. Check out our guide to the best protein powder for all of our favorite protein powders!
Chocolate Protein Shake Tips
Make sure you use a high powered blender.
The key to a perfectly creamy smoothie or protein shake is a high powered blender! We use a Vitamix, but any brand will do.

If you use a high powered blender, you end up with a creamy and drinkable consistency that everyone loves!
Frozen fruit is key!
Like I mentioned before, frozen fruit is key to a delicious smoothie. If you use fresh fruit in a smoothie, it creates a watery and pulpy consistency!
High-quality protein powder.
The higher-quality protein powder the better the flavor. Low-quality protein powders tend to have more of an artificial flavor and tend to have fillers! Do yourself a favor and find a higher quality protein powder, sometimes you can find amazing deals on protein!
Meal prep your protein shake.
An easy way to meal prep protein shakes is to prepare a shake and pour the shake into ice cube trays! From there, when you’re ready for a shake, add protein cubes to a blender, add almond milk and blend!
