A quick and easy protein shake blending fresh mint, chocolate chips, avocado, and vanilla protein powder for a creamy, nutritious boost with a refreshing minty flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1012 fresh mint leaves
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 medium ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 2 tbsp (30g) mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (120g) ice cubes
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse fresh mint leaves gently under cold water and pat dry. Peel and pit the avocado, measuring out a quarter of a medium one. Measure your protein powder, chocolate chips, and liquids.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened almond milk into your blender. Add the fresh mint leaves on top. Blend on medium speed for 15-20 seconds until the mint is finely chopped and the milk is fragrant.
  3. Add 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder, 1/4 ripe avocado (about 50g), 2 tablespoons (30g) mini chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup (120g) ice cubes to the blender.
  4. Start blending on low and gradually increase to high speed. Blend for 45-60 seconds until the avocado is fully incorporated and the shake achieves a thick, creamy texture. If the shake is too thick, add a splash more almond milk (about 2 tbsp / 30 ml) and blend briefly again.
  5. Taste and sweeten if needed by adding 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup and blend for another 10 seconds.
  6. Pour the creamy mint chocolate chip protein shake into a tall glass. Sprinkle a few extra mini chocolate chips on top for presentation and a little crunch. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh mint leaves for best flavor; blend mint with milk first to release oils. For vegan version, use plant-based protein powder and maple syrup instead of honey. Add frozen banana or chia seeds to thicken. Store in fridge up to 24 hours and re-blend before drinking.
