I make this Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Shake when I want something fast, sweet, and filling. It tastes like cookie dough and gives me a real boost in the morning or after a workout. If you love cookie dough flavors, try my mint chocolate chip protein balls for a no-bake snack.
Dad James teases me that I drink dessert for breakfast, but he always asks for a sip when I make this shake.
Your Ingredients List
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (optional)
My Go-To Equipment
I use a good blender, a tall glass, and a spoon to stir in the chips. A measuring cup and small spoons keep the mix steady.
The Simple Steps to Follow
- Combine milk, protein powder, almond flour, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and ice in a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy your protein-packed shake.
Healthy Twists on a Classic
You can swap almond flour for oat flour for a milder taste or use a plant protein powder to keep this vegan. For a spiced version, add a pinch of cinnamon. If you like seasonal baking, pair this shake with pumpkin chocolate chip cookies for a cozy treat.
Serving Suggestions From My Table
I like to serve the shake with extra chocolate chips on top and a drizzle of peanut butter. For a fun brunch, place a small cookie on the side, like these winter wonderland chocolate chip cookies.
Getting It Just Right
Use cold milk and fresh ice for best texture. If the shake is too thick, add a splash more milk. If it is too thin, add another tablespoon of almond flour or a few more ice cubes.
How to Store Leftovers
Keep any extra shake in a sealed jar in the fridge and drink within 24 hours. Stir or shake well before drinking, as the mix may settle.
Enjoy Every Moment
I sip this slowly and enjoy the cookie dough flavor while it lasts. It fits busy mornings and slow afternoons alike.
A Few Common Questions
Can I make this shake vegan?
Yes, you can make the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Shake vegan by using a plant-based milk and a vegan chocolate protein powder, and swapping honey for maple syrup.
Can I freeze this shake?
You can freeze the shake into popsicle molds for a cold treat, but I do not recommend freezing with chocolate chips mixed in, as they can change texture when frozen.
How can I add more protein?
If you want more protein, add an extra half scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon more of almond flour. Taste and adjust sweetness after blending.
