Ingredients
Chocolate Vegan Protein Shake
- ¾ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk more below
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons chocolate vegan protein powder or two scoops of the vegan protein powder that I use*
- 1 tablespoon MCT oil optional
- 1 cup ice cubes
- ½ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
Optional Boosters
- For ENERGY: ¼ teaspoon gelatinized maca powder
- For Fruit: swap 1/2 cup ice cubes with 1/2 to 3/4 cup frozen fruit
- For Veggies: ¼ cup to ½ cup frozen spinach
- For Protein Boost: 2 tablespoons peanut powder
- For Healthy Fats: 2 tablespoons unsalted natural creamy almond butter or other nut butter, or MCT oil
- For Fun: 1 tablespoon paleo chocolate chunks
Instructions
- This is the blender I use to make my smoothies. It’s easy to use, holds the perfect amount, and can be left to keep blending while I walk away (it runs by itself). Not sponsored, I just love this!
- Add all ingredients in the order listed: 3/4 cup non-dairy milk, vegan protein powder, MCT oil, ice cubes and ½ cup milk. This is the order that I’ve found to be smoothest, without any protein powder getting stuck in a clump anywhere.
- Depending on your daily nutritional requirements/needs, feel free to add maca powder, peanut powder, nut butter or MCT oil.
- Close blender. Blend until smooth and no chunks remain. Enjoy immediately!

- *Most vegan protein powders will work with this amount in your protein shake. However, some are more highly concentrated & can create thicker shakes than desired. Try the recommended 1 serving listed on your protein powder and adjust as needed.
- Nutrition Information: is an estimate based on the ingredients I've listed in Where to Buy Ingredients. Also, it’s estimated based on 1 serving per recipe, made without optional ingredients.
- What's my favorite vegan protein powder? Chocolate Vegan Protein Powder: this brand is my go-to chocolate vegan protein powder. My favorite thing to do is use 1 scoop of the chocolate flavor and 1 scoop of the vanilla vegan protein powder. Such a good combo! When I need to switch thing up (because protein powder can get tedious, folks!), I go to my second favorite vegan protein powder.
