From Chocolate Shakes to Iced Coffee: Protein Drinks for Every Taste

If you enjoy a chocolate smoothie or an iced coffee with breakfast, adding protein can fit into something you already like drinking. A chocolate powder blends easily with banana, while an instant protein coffee lets you prepare a cold cup without brewing a separate pot. Our protein drinks give you a few ways to make either one part of your day.

If you enjoy a chocolate smoothie or an iced coffee with breakfast, adding protein can fit into something you already like drinking. A chocolate powder blends easily with banana, while an instant protein coffee lets you prepare a cold cup without brewing a separate pot. Our protein drinks give you a few ways to make either one part of your day.

Flavour is a good place to start, but the ingredients matter too. You may prefer a plant-based chocolate powder, need an option without dairy or enjoy the convenience of coffee mixed with whey protein. If you have a favourite sweetener or avoid certain ingredients, those details can help narrow down your chocolate choices.

Find Your Kind of Chocolate Shake

For a chocolate drink made without dairy ingredients, Truvani Organic Plant-Based Protein Powder Chocolate, 335g brings together pea, pumpkin seed and chia seed proteins. Alkalized cocoa gives it its chocolate flavour, while monk fruit adds sweetness. Each serving provides 20 g of protein.

For a plant-based shake, blend it with banana for a thicker drink, or use water when you'd rather keep it light. The six-ingredient recipe is organic, with sweetness from monk fruit rather than stevia.

Prefer a chocolate powder made with beef protein? Equip Prime Protein Grass-Fed Beef Isolate Protein Powder Chocolate, 771g uses grass-fed beef protein with cocoa powder and stevia. It offers another dairy-free route to a chocolate shake, although its animal-derived protein means it isn’t suitable for a vegan diet.

Blend Equip with your usual smoothie ingredients when you'd like a creamier drink, or shake it with water for something simpler. Here, the sweetness comes from stevia, and the protein comes from beef rather than the peas and seeds in Truvani.

Give Your Iced Coffee a Protein Twist

Brüst High-Protein Light Roast Cold Brew, 330ml is ready to drink, with 20 g of protein and 120 mg of caffeine in each bottle. Its light-bodied coffee flavour has a little sweetness from cane sugar. Pour it over ice or enjoy it chilled alongside breakfast when you’d rather skip the scoop and shaker.

The protein comes from milk, including whey and casein, so this cold brew isn’t suitable for someone with a milk allergy. If you enjoy a lightly sweetened coffee, try it on its own before adding anything else; there’s no powder to measure or liquid to mix in.

Ascent Iced Coffee + Protein, 15 Servings combines Colombian coffee with whey protein isolate and concentrate. Each serving supplies 20 g of protein and 100 mg of caffeine. Just add water for a cold coffee without brewing; stevia adds sweetness.

For an easy coffee routine with Ascent:

• Mix the powder into your liquid before adding ice, so you can reach any dry pockets.
• Start with the package’s liquid amount, then adjust the next cup to your taste.
• Keep a shaker at work if you’d like to prepare your drink there.

Ascent contains milk and soy and is produced on equipment that also processes tree nuts and peanuts. Both contain caffeine, so keep that in mind if you're also having your usual cup of coffee.

Make the Texture Work for You

Your mixing liquid can change the drink as much as an extra ingredient. Water lets you taste the powder’s own flavour more directly. Milk or a milk alternative changes the flavour and body, while banana makes a blended chocolate drink thicker. Start simply so you can tell which adjustment you actually enjoy.

Try one small change at a time:

• Blend a chocolate powder with banana for a thicker, spoon-friendly smoothie.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon when you want a warm spice note with chocolate.
• Shake your coffee powder thoroughly before pouring it over ice.

Use the serving amount on the package, then play with the liquid to find a consistency you like. A little less makes a thicker shake; a little more gives you something lighter to sip. If you're tracking nutrients, include any milk, fruit or extras along with the powder.
