Servings: 2 Total Time: 5 mins Difficulty: Beginner
A rich and creamy chocolate shake with 34 g of protein per serving, made with banana, dates, oats, skim milk and Weider Gold Whey — a delicious, filling option for busy mornings, between meals or whenever you need a quick energy boost. ⚡🍫💪

Busy mornings don’t always leave time for a proper breakfast. This is where a good protein shake can come in handy. 🥤⚡

I wanted this recipe to be more than just a basic protein drink. It combines Weider Gold Whey Milk Chocolate from GAZ NUTRITION with banana, dates and oats, creating a thick and satisfying shake that works beautifully as a quick breakfast or meal-replacement-style option.

💪 A Little More About – Weider Gold Whey

For this recipe, I used Weider Gold Whey Milk Chocolate from GAZ NUTRITION, a whey protein powder made primarily from whey protein concentrate.

Weider Gold Whey provides a convenient source of high-quality protein and naturally contains essential amino acids, including BCAAs. Protein contributes to the maintenance and growth of muscle mass.

I particularly like the Milk Chocolate flavor for this recipe because it blends so well with the cocoa, banana and dates. It gives the shake a rich chocolate taste without needing chocolate syrup. 🍫🤎

Everything goes straight into the blender, and in just a few minutes you have a thick, creamy and seriously delicious chocolate protein shake.

Note

Why You'll Love This Shake

💪 34 g of Protein

Each serving provides a substantial amount of protein from whey and milk, making it a convenient choice when you want to increase your protein intake.

⚡ Energy From Real Food

Banana, dates and oats provide carbohydrates alongside the protein, giving the shake more substance than a simple whey-and-water drink.

🍫 Seriously Chocolatey

Cocoa and Milk Chocolate Gold Whey give this shake a rich chocolate flavor, while banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess.

🥤 Meal-Replacement Style

With protein, carbohydrates, fiber and around 320 calories per serving, this is designed to be a more substantial shake that can stand in for a quick breakfast or meal when needed.

⏱️ Ready in Minutes

Everything goes straight into the blender. No cooking, no complicated preparation and very little cleanup.

🤎 Creamy Without Heavy Ingredients

Frozen banana and skim milk create a creamy texture without using cream or high-fat ingredients.

Extra Notes

Use a Frozen Banana

A frozen banana gives the shake a thicker, colder and creamier texture. It also means you don't need much ice.

Soak the Dates First

If your dates are firm, soaking them for 5–7 minutes makes them softer and much easier to blend completely smooth.

Adjust the Thickness

For a thinner shake, add a little more milk or water. For a thicker shake, use less liquid or add a few ice cubes.

The Protein Makes a Difference

The Gold Whey provides the main protein boost in this recipe, while skim milk adds additional protein. Together, they make the shake considerably more substantial than a regular fruit smoothie.

Don't Skip the Cocoa

The cocoa works together with the Milk Chocolate protein powder to create a much deeper chocolate flavor.
