This peanut butter chocolate protein shake is smooth, creamy, and delicious! With 5 simple ingredients and optional protein boosters, it’s satisfying and indulgent.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup Milk (almond milk, canned coconut milk or homemade coconut milk, cow’s milk, oat milk, etc.) (122g)
  • 1 Banana (see notes below for substitution ideas) (118g)
  • 1 Tbsp Cocoa or Cacao Powder (5g)
  • 1 Tbsp Peanut Butter (see notes below)  (16g)
  • 1 Date, cut into 8 pieces (7g)
  • 1 Tbsp Peanut Butter Powder (optional)
  • 1 scoop Collagen or Protein Powder (optional, see notes below)

Instructions

  1. Add the ingredients in the order listed to your blender. Yes, the order you add ingredients in important!
  2. Blend on low on 30 seconds so the dates break up into small pieces.
  3. Blend on high for 45-50 seconds.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Here’s the protein breakdown:

  • ½ cup dairy milk: 4g
  • 1 banana: 1g
  • 1 Tbsp. cocoa powder: 1g
  • 1 Tbsp. peanut butter: 4g
  • 1 date: 0.2g
  • Optional 1 Tbsp. peanut butter powder: 4g
  • Optional 1 Tbsp. collagen: 10g
  • Optional 1 Tbsp. protein powder: 15g

That means the basic chocolate protein shake gives you 10g of protein, and the boosted protein chocolate shakes recipe gives you up to 39g!

  • Peanut Butter Powder. The recipe calls for peanut butter, but with peanut butter powder you get an extra boost of protein and peanut flavor. You can use extra peanut butter if you don’t have peanut powder – they have the same amount of protein, but peanut butter powder contains less fat.
  • Collagen. I absolutely LOVE this brand of collagen (here’s why), but you can substitute protein powder if you prefer (see notes below).
  • Protein Powder. Protein powder can be highly processed, so be sure to read the ingredients and do some research if you want to include it in your smoothies. (I have an entire section in my smoothie eBook with research). For this chocolate protein smoothie recipe, both vanilla and chocolate protein powder work well.
