Chocolate Peppermint Protein Shake
This Chocolate Peppermint Protein Shake is my nightly go-to. It's a TREAT (we're not even calling this light anymore, haha). But it's simple, consistent, and actually satisfying. It’s thick without being heavy, deeply chocolatey with a cool peppermint finish, and topped for real dessert texture. Made with straightforward ingredients and refined over time, this is the version I come back to every single night!
Servings: 1 shake
Calories: 455kcal
Equipment
- 1 blender Ninja Twisti is the best with the 32oz cups (these I buy separate).
Ingredients
- 175 g ice
- 250 g SILK cashew milk
- 20 g active stacks chocolate protein
- 10 g CSE white chocolate peppermint protein
- Heaping 1/4 tsp salt
- 8 g jet black cocoa powder
- 30 g frozen banana
Topped with:
- 20 g Pbfit
- 20 g almond or coconut reddi whip
- 10 g cacao nibs
- 10 g corn Chex
- 10 g chocolate Catalina crunch
- 10 g crumbled Healthy Eating on the Go bar
- 25 g fresh diced banana
- Flake salt
- And sometimes just a smidge of natural peanut butter on my spoon!😂
Instructions
- Add all of the shake ingredients to the jar of your Ninja Twisti. (I like to keep all of my bits and pieces in a special shake drawer right near the blender. to simplify the process! I even keep the 1/4 tsp measuring spoon in there to use on the salt
- Blend for about 30-40 seconds, or one cycle on the Ninja Twisti.
- Pour it into a big insulated tumbler and top with your favorite toppings.
- The macros below are ALL IN but track what you want and what fits for you. But of course I like mine topped like crazy so there's texture in every bite. It's the best thing ever and I never want to break up with it. I like to add the toppings in the order listed. I don't mix in, or layer. But I eat by dunking my long spoon right down the middle almost trying to avoid the toppings. You'll inevitably get plenty stuck to each bite and then there's still so much good stuff left at the bottom! It's an art. Haha.
