A thick, velvety chocolate protein smoothie that tastes like a Wendy’s chocolate shake but is healthy and guilt-free. Perfect for post-workout or anytime you want a rich, creamy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium frozen banana, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate protein powder
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz / 240 ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup (4 oz / 120 g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon natural sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or agave) – optional
  • 1/2 cup (4 fl oz / 120 ml) ice cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee powder – optional

Instructions

  1. Slice the frozen banana into chunks for easier blending. Measure out the protein powder, cocoa powder, Greek yogurt, and milk.
  2. Add to blender in this order: 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, frozen banana slices, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, and ice cubes.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon natural sweetener and 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee powder if desired.
  4. Blend starting on low speed to break up ice and banana, then increase to high speed. Blend for 45-60 seconds until smooth and thick.
  5. Check consistency: if too thick, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time; if too thin, add more ice cubes or frozen banana.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa powder if needed, then pulse a few more seconds.
  7. Serve immediately, optionally topped with a pinch of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings.

Notes

Use frozen banana for thickness and natural sweetness. Adjust milk quantity to control smoothie thickness. Pulsing the blender helps maintain texture. For vegan version, use plant-based protein powder and dairy-free yogurt. Prepare ingredients ahead but blend fresh with ice before serving for best texture.
