How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Shake

Blend a few everyday ingredients together for a creamy shake with plenty of chocolate, banana and peanut butter flavour.

Step 1

Step 1: Add the Ingredients

Add the chocolate flavoured Horlicks protein powder, banana, peanut butter, chilled milk and ice to a blender.

Step 2

Step 2: Blend Until Smooth

Blend on high until the banana and ice are completely incorporated and the shake becomes smooth and creamy. Taste and add a little honey if you prefer extra sweetness.

Step 3

Step 3: Serve Chilled

Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately while it is cold and creamy.

Why This Recipe Works

Banana brings natural sweetness and a creamy texture, while peanut butter adds a rich nutty flavour that pairs naturally with chocolate. Chocolate flavoured Horlicks protein powder brings these flavours together while adding protein, and ice gives the shake a refreshing chilled finish.

Smart Protein Upgrades

  • Add extra creaminess: Blend in a spoonful of Greek yoghurt for a thicker shake and an additional protein boost.
  • Add some crunch: Top with chopped roasted peanuts or cocoa nibs before serving.
  • Make it more filling: Add a tablespoon of oats for extra texture and fibre.

Nutrition Tip

Banana and peanut butter bring different nutritional qualities to this shake. Banana contributes carbohydrates and fibre, while peanut butter provides protein and fats. Pairing these with a protein rich ingredient such as Horlicks protein powder makes the shake a more balanced option for a snack or around your workout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this shake without honey?

Yes. A ripe banana already adds natural sweetness, so you can taste the shake after blending and add honey only if you feel it needs more sweetness.

Can I use frozen banana instead of ice?

Yes. Frozen banana can make the shake thicker and creamier. You can reduce the amount of ice depending on the consistency you prefer.

Can I use a milk alternative for this protein shake?

Yes. You can use almond milk, soy milk or another milk alternative of your choice. Choose an unsweetened option if you prefer a less sweet shake.
