Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 scoops Whey protein isolate (unflavored or chocolate-flavored)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Low-carb sweetener (like stevia or erythritol)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 4 Ice cubes
Instructions
Begin by gathering all your ingredients to ensure everything is measured and ready for blending.
In a high-speed blender, pour the unsweetened almond milk as the base for your protein milk.
Add the two scoops of whey protein isolate. If you're using unflavored whey protein, make sure to add the cocoa powder for that rich chocolate taste.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder into the blender if your protein powder is unflavored.
Measure and add the low-carb sweetener of your choice. Adjust sweetness according to your taste preference.
Add the vanilla extract to enhance the flavors.
Include a pinch of salt to balance and bring out the sweetness and flavors.
Add the ice cubes to the blender. This will make the milk cold and refreshing, as well as thicker.
Blend on high for about 1-2 minutes, until all ingredients are fully combined, and the mixture becomes smooth and frothy.
Once blended, taste and adjust for sweetness or chocolate intensity if necessary.
Pour the chocolate protein milk into two servings glasses and enjoy immediately for the best texture and taste.
