Here’s a simple Frosty Chocolate Protein Shake recipe that tastes similar to a chocolate frosty while providing a good protein boost.
Ingredients
1 scoop chocolate protein powder (about 25–30 g protein)
1 frozen banana
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess and protein)
1–2 tsp honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
1 cup ice cubes
Pinch of salt
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Add all ingredients to a blender.
Blend until thick and smooth.
If it’s too thick, add a little more milk. If it’s too thin, add more ice.
Pour into a chilled glass and serve immediately.

Extra Frosty-Like Tips
Freeze the milk in ice cube trays beforehand for an even thicker texture.
Add 1 tbsp peanut butter for a chocolate-peanut butter version.
Add 1 tsp instant coffee for a mocha flavor.
Use frozen yogurt instead of regular Greek yogurt for a more dessert-like consistency.
For a very thick “fast-food frosty” texture, blend the shake and then freeze it for 15–20 minutes before serving.
