Chocolate Morning Protein Shake
By Cara Clark, CN
August 1, 2025
Simple but sophisticated. That’s what many of us want when it comes to our morning protein shake. Well, this chocolate morning protein shake delivers on both counts.
It’s very easy to make with just a few key ingredients, while the blend of flavors brings an elevated taste and deliciousness to the proceedings.
There are not many better ways to begin your day, as this morning shake provides just the right amount of calories (338) with the ideal macros: 37 grams of carbohydrates, 12 grams of fat and 26 grams of protein.
This morning protein shake is a quick, delicious way to pack in nutrients. You’ll be amazed by the nutrition facts that these ingredients provide:
Coconut cream: Provides performance fats called medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that help energize you.
Unsweetened almond milk: Lends some flavor and protein to the shake, though you can also simply go with water.
Banana: High in vitamin B6 and fiber, it’s also considered one of the easiest foods to digest. You can also freeze it for an improved shake texture and leave out the ice.
Chia seeds: A genuine superfood, these powerful chia seeds are high in many minerals, including selenium, magnesium and phosphorus. They’re also high in fiber and omega 3s.
Chocolate Bone Broth Protein: This is a fan favorite for gut, joint, and skin support — and it tastes like dessert! Based on protein content, it’s twice as potent compared to other leading bone broth brands.
Cacao powder or peanut butter (optional): For some extra fat and flavor, you can add a tablespoon of either.
This morning shake is loaded with nutrients, including some of the most helpful ones. It contains 10 grams of fiber to help your digestive health and keep you regular. It’s packed with 26 grams of protein to support your muscles and keep you full.
One serving also contains 12 grams of performance fat courtesy of the coconut cream and chia seeds, which also help provide 183% Daily Value of omega-3s.
It’s high in B vitamins, including B6, B2 and B1, as well vitamin C. It’s also high in many minerals, including manganese, copper, magnesium, phosphorus and selenium.
Get out your power blender and put in all the ingredients. You may choose to use a frozen banana, so ideally that’s frozen from the night before. Either place chopped bananas in a container or wrap in plastic.
Optionally, you can add a tablespoon of peanut butter to add that type of flavor to the shake, or you can use a tablespoon of cacao powder for more chocolatey flavor and performance fats.
Blend until smooth. Then pour into a large glass and enjoy.
