I’ve seen many a protein shake contain way more calories than people realized. Pea protein is notoriously thick and creamy, so if you like pea protein powder or need a vegan or dairy-free option, then a chocolate one could work.Īgain, to make sure you get the tastiest shake possible, I recommend a chocolate whey/casein blend you think tastes good on its own, but use whatever you think tastes good. (Another tasty chocolate protein powder is PEScience select protein, chocolate frosted cupcake flavor.) Use your chocolate protein powder of choice, as long as you think it tastes good, otherwise the shake will be disappointing no recipe can save a protein powder that tests your gag reflex.

I use the chocolate fudge brownie Team Skip blend from True Nutrition (you can get 5% off with the coupon code liftlikeagirl). A protein blend tastes better, in my opinion, and makes the shake creamier. A whey/casein blend works best for this shake, but whey is okay too. **The choice of protein powder makes a huge difference in flavor and texture. Use your favorite milk source be mindful of how many calories it adds, especially if you want a lower-calorie shake option. Note: If you want the protein shake to have the closest taste and texture to a milkshake, use vanilla soy milk. Vanilla soy milk is my personal favorite (makes the shake extremely creamy and more milkshake-like in flavor and texture) but has 100 calories per cup. *Unsweetened almond or cashew milk works well and only contains 25 calories. Pour, drink, enjoy, and sing praises to my name that you finally discovered a simple protein shake recipe that actually tastes like a milkshake. Blend on high speed for another 30 seconds. You may want to scrape down the sides and blend for another 20-30 seconds if you’re not using peanut butter. Put all the ingredients, except the peanut butter if you plan to use it, in a blender (I’ve been using my Ninja for over four years it gets a ton of use and still works perfectly and was much cheaper than other popular blenders).īlend on high speed for 30 seconds. 1 cup frozen blueberries (cherries or strawberries are excellent options too).It tastes like you put ice cream in it.” Now that I’ve boldly hyped up this chocolate protein shake that actually tastes like a milkshake recipe, let’s get to it so you can make it right away and enjoy its smooth, tasty, protein-rich deliciousness. The immediate wide-eyed response: “A protein shake shouldn’t taste this good.


Recently I tested this recipe out on my picky spouse. Plus, that perpetuates the idea that healthy food can’t taste good, and that just isn’t true. My list of never-make-this-food-abomination-again recipes is a lengthy one I don’t care if it’s healthier than the original recipe it impersonates because if it tastes terrible, it’s not worth eating. How many times have you tried a “healthy” recipe that boasted it tastes just like the real thing! only to be immensely disappointed…again?
