Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, using the serving size on its label
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- Up to ½ cup unsweetened almond milk, divided, plus a little more only if needed
- 1–2 tablespoons powdered sweetener or sugar-free syrup, adjusted to the product and your taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free chocolate chips, optional
Instructions
- Blend yogurt, protein powder, cocoa, vanilla, a little sweetener, and ¼ cup milk until smooth, about 20–30 seconds. Taste and adjust sweetness.
- Add ice and blend in short intervals until thick and smooth. Stop before scraping the sides.
- Add reserved milk one tablespoon at a time only as needed for circulation. Add a few extra ice cubes if desired, recognizing that they dilute flavor.
- Transfer to a chilled dish, add optional chips, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Texture varies with yogurt thickness, powder formulation, ice size, and blender strength.
- Freeze measured yogurt in cubes ahead for a creamier frozen variation and reduce ordinary ice as needed.
- Protein and calories should be calculated from actual labels; no fixed nutrition totals are claimed.
- The recipe contains dairy and almond unless suitably adapted; check protein powder and topping labels for additional allergens.
