Katie’s Mocha Chocolate Chip Protein Shake

Skip to Recipe ↓

As our resident nutritionist, we recently tasked Katie Newton to come up with a protein shake recipe. We wanted something that’s delicious but not rich in calories. And that’s exactly what she did with this mocha chocolate chip protein shake!

Now I love protein shakes! But as we age those calories get harder and harder to work off. The last thing some of us need is an 800 or 1,000+ calorie protein shake like we get at the local Smoothie King.

Katie’s Mocha Chip Protein Shake is an awesome protein shakes for starting your day. Where else can you get a protein shake that has two scoops of protein, a half a banana, chocolate chips, peanut butter, and still clock in at just over 400 calories?

Low Calorie Ingredients for Katie’s Mocha Chocolate Chip Protein Shake

Let’s take a close look at some of the ingredients Katie picked out for this delicious shake:

Lower Calorie Protein Powder

Let’s start with the protein powder. Orgain Chocolate Protein shaves 20 calories per scoop vs similar brands. So with two scoops of Orgain you are saving 40 calories total.

Peanut Butter Helps Satisfy Hunger

Peanut butter isn’t especially low calorie. But it pulls triple-duty in this mocha chocolate chip protein shake:

1. Its high protein and fiber content helps satiate your hunger
2. It makes the shake more delicious
3. It makes the shake more creamy

Snack or Meal Replacement

Have a low calorie breakfast and then enjoy this protein shake as a mid-morning snack. Or enjoy this shake as a meal replacement. It’s up to you, your specific diet, and your preferences. Either way, this delicious shake allows you some options.
