A chocolate protein shake recipe can provide health benefits while still capturing the flavor of your favorite chocolate dessert!
A healthy chocolate protein shake just sounds like a contradiction.
Healthy?
Chocolate?
Say what?
Well, it’s true. With a few tweaks, a chocolate protein shake can be both healthy and delicious. Because contrary to popular belief regarding both chocolate and vanilla protein shakes, you don’t have to compromise flavor to be healthy. You can recapture the tastes of some of your favorite chocolate desserts and treats.
You also don’t need chocolate protein powder for a chocolate protein shake recipe, and we can prove it!
We’ve compiled our favorite chocolate shakes. Each protein shake is made with chocolate (cocoa) baking powder or our favorite healthy chocolate pudding mix, a handful of other healthy ingredients, and our premium vanilla-flavored LadyBoss LEAN ® protein powder.
