Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 scoop chocolate-flavored protein powder
  • 1 shot of espresso or 4 oz brewed coffee cooled
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 8 oz milk or milk alternative e.g., almond milk, oat milk
  • 1 tbsp dark chocolate optional
  • Handful of ice cubes

Method
 

  1. Add the Milk: Pour 8 oz of your chosen milk or milk alternative into a blender. This will be the creamy base for your shake.
  2. Add Protein Powder: Scoop in 1 serving of chocolate-flavored protein powder.
  3. Add Coffee: Pour in the cooled espresso or 4 oz of brewed coffee for a rich, energizing flavor.
  4. Add Cocoa Powder: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder for an extra chocolatey taste.
  5. Optional Chocolate: For a richer flavor, add 1 tablespoon of dark chocolate or chocolate chips.
  6. Add Ice: Toss in a handful of ice cubes to chill and thicken the shake.
  7. Blend: Start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high until the shake is smooth and frothy.
  8. Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste.

Notes

Customization: Feel free to add fruits like bananas or berries for a twist, or a spoonful of almond butter for a nutty flavor.
Consistency: If the shake is too thick, add a splash more milk. If it's too thin, blend in a few more ice cubes.
