Chocolate Mocha Protein Shake
I have a new protein drink to share with you guys and I’m super excited about it because it involves coffee and I loooooove coffee. Introducing the latest greatest workout fuel I’ve been whipping up- it’s the Chocolate Mocha Protein Shake.
This Chocolate Mocha Protein Shake is very reminiscent of Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino and an absolute dream for all of you fellow coffee lovers. It will surely perk you up with healthy carbs, plenty of protein and just enough caffeine to elevate your workout and fuel your morning.
A combination of two a.m. obsessions—coffee and smoothies—into one drink? You guys are going to want a Chocolate Mocha Protein Shake every morning. It’s:
Bold & beautiful
Delightfully tasty
A quick pick-me-up
Protein-packed
And just slightly addicting! 🙂
Chocolate Mocha Protein Shake
Ingredients
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, My favorite is vegan chocolate Shakeology
- 1/2 cup chilled coffee*
- 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, any milk will work
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 packet stevia sweetener, optional
- 1 cup ice
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients. Add more ice as desired.
- I like to blend well with about 1/2 cup of ice and then slowly blend with another 1/2 cup ice. This makes for a slushier shake. Enjoy!
Notes
**For a creamier smoothie with a little more staying power, add a half to a whole ripe frozen banana.

Something to think about….
Have you ever tried mixing your cup of morning joe with your protein drink? It’s a fabulous combo!
Hi Kim,
Can you verify the serving size for your chocolate mocha protein shake? Listed amount per serving says 1 gram only.
Thanks again,
Ken
Kim,
Delicious shake! Thanks. In your Nutrition facts, 17g Carbs and 13.4g sugar are listed. My wife and I are trying to figure out what ingredient is the largest carb source. 13.4 seems too high for the listed ingredients . Please advise.
Thanks,
Ken and Anna
So glad you enjoyed! The nutritional info is going to be highly dependent on the protein you use. I was using Shakeology as noted and it is almost like a meal replacement, so there is a good chance your carbs and sugar were way lower. The serving size is one full shake with all ingredients listed.
I love mixing coffee and protein powder! Yum!
Me too! Hope you get a chance to give it a try!
