3 Epic Chocolate Protein Powder Shake Recipes You’ll Want Daily

Before we dive into recipes, here’s why a chocolate protein shake is a top choice:

• It gives that rich chocolate flavour fix without turning into a full dessert.

• You get protein, healthy fats, fibre, and (if well done) minimal added sugar.

• It makes a great post workout snack or a mid‑day healthy snack.

• You can play with textures: thick shake, creamy, or lighten it up with unsweetened almond milk, soy milk or non dairy milk.

• With a good protein powder and extras (like nut butter, frozen banana, chia seeds), you sneak in nutrition without losing taste.

Let’s whip up three winners (featuring your own Botanika Blends products) that balance flavour, texture, and health.

Idea #1: The Peanut‑Chocolate Power Shake

Why this one rocks: It’s nutty, chocolatey, creamy — like a grown‑up chocolate milkshake with muscle in it.

Ingredients

• 1 scoop Botanika Blends PLANT PROTEIN – CHOC PEANUT BUTTER (delivers ~24 g protein)

• 1 medium frozen banana

• 300 ml unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or regular milk / soy milk depending on your dietary needs)

• 1 Tbsp almond butter or peanut butter

• 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (for extra chocolate flavor)

• A few ice cubes (to thicken)

• Optional: a drizzle of maple syrup or a few chocolate chips for extra sweetness

Method

1. In a high powered blender, add the milk first, then banana, then protein powder, cocoa powder, nut butter, and ice cubes.

2. Blend until smooth — if it’s too thick, add a splash more milk.

3. Taste; if your sweet tooth demands it, add a few drops of maple syrup.

4. Pour into a glass, maybe top with whipped cream or crushed chocolate chips (if you're feeling cheeky).

5. Enjoy immediately.

Nutrition tip / serving idea: This makes a thick shake with good protein and healthy fats. It’s perfect as a post workout recovery drink or even a meal replacement on busy days.

Idea #2: Chocolate Cake Batter Dream

Why this one’s different: Using Botanika Blends PLANT PROTEIN – CHOCOLATE CAKE BATTER, we turn your shake into something that tastes like dessert—but without the guilt.

Ingredients

• 1 scoop Botanika Blends PLANT PROTEIN – CHOCOLATE CAKE BATTER

• 1/2 frozen banana

• 250–300 ml unsweetened almond milk (vanilla or plain)

• 1 Tbsp peanut butter powder (optional – for a nutty twist)

• 1 Tbsp chia seeds or hemp seeds (for extra fibre & omega goodness)

• Extra ice for thickness

• Optional: dash of maple syrup or natural sweetness if desired

Method

1. Load up the blender: milk, banana, protein powder, peanut butter powder, seeds, ice.

2. Blend until smooth, adjusting thickness with more milk or ice.

3. Give it a quick taste—if you want more chocolate punch, sprinkle in extra cocoa powder.

4. Serve right away.

5. You can top it with chocolate chips or a teeny bit of whipped cream if you like.

This one gives you cake batter vibes, along with that satisfying creamy texture you want in a shake.

Idea #3: Cacao Hazelnut Nutty Chocolate Fusion

For those who love a twist on classic chocolate. Use Botanika Blends PLANT PROTEIN – CACAO HAZELNUT for a flavour combo that hints at Nutella (but so much better).

Ingredients

• 1 scoop Botanika Blends PLANT PROTEIN – CACAO HAZELNUT

• 1 frozen banana or frozen berries (for fruit variation)

• 250 ml unsweetened almond milk (or your non dairy milk of choice)

• 1 Tbsp almond butter or nut butter (if you want more nutty richness)

• Pinch of unsweetened cocoa powder (to deepen the chocolate flavor)

• Ice cubes

• Optional: a few dark chocolate chips or a slice banana garnish

Method

Same routine: milk first, then banana, protein powder, nut butter, cocoa powder, ice. Blend until smooth. Adjust thickness or sweetness. Garnish how you like.

This one will deliver that rich chocolate flavour with a hint of nutty delight.

✔️ Tips & Tweaks (to make any shake your favourite)

• Always start with liquid (milk / non dairy milk) at the bottom of the blender so powders don’t stick.

• Blend until smooth but don’t overblend — too much air ruins texture.

• To make a thick shake, use less milk or more ice / frozen fruit.

• Want it lighter? Add extra unsweetened almond milk, soy milk, or regular milk if dairy is okay.

• If you prefer nut‑free, skip nut butters and use seed butters (sunflower seed butter) or just keep it simple.

• For extra fibre & omega fats, chia seeds, hemp seeds are great additions.

• Gradually increase cocoa powder if you want a deeper chocolate hit.

• Adjust sweetness with maple syrup, or fruit, rather than sugary syrups.

• For post workout shakes, aim for at least ~20 g of protein and some carbs (banana helps).

• Use your favorite protein powder base if you don’t have Botanika — these recipes adapt well to whey protein or other good protein powders.

Are Chocolate Protein Shakes Good?

Yes! When done with care, chocolate protein shakes can be a nutritious, delicious way to support fitness or just curb cravings. Using unsweetened cocoa powder, quality protein powder, and whole ingredients (banana, nut butter, seeds), you get flavour without loaded sugar.

They make awesome post workout recovery drinks (protein + carbs) or healthy snack alternatives when you’re craving something chocolatey.
