f you’re looking for a quick, healthy breakfast that tastes like dessert, this chocolate peanut butter banana protein shake is a winner. I love blending it up in my Vitamix (affiliate link) on busy mornings here in the Southwest. It’s creamy, chocolatey, full of protein, and keeps me satisfied straight through until lunch.
Rod’s a fan too, so this smoothie has been on repeat in our house several times a week. It’s the perfect five-minute breakfast when you don’t want to cook but still want something that feels filling and indulgent.
Why You’ll Love This Chocolate PB Banana Protein Shake
- Dessert-like taste – Creamy, chocolatey, with a hint of peanut butter.
- High protein & filling – Thanks to cottage cheese and protein powder, it packs staying power.
- WW friendly – Just 6 Points and under 300 calories.
- Quick & easy – Blend it in 5 minutes or less.
Ingredient Notes + Substitutions
- Cottage cheese – My secret weapon for thick, creamy smoothies. It blends beautifully and adds extra protein without the tang of Greek yogurt. (Not a fan? Swap in plain nonfat Greek yogurt instead.)
- Chocolate protein powder – Whey or plant-based both work. If you don’t have protein powder, use 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder instead.
- PB2 (affiliate link) powdered peanut butter (affiliate link) – You get peanut butter flavor with fewer calories and WW Points. You can also use 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter (adds about 3 Points).
- Banana – Frozen bananas make the shake thick and frosty. Fresh bananas work too—just add a little more ice.
- Ice + water or milk – Adjust to make it thicker or thinner, depending on your preference.

Step 2: Blend until smooth and creamy.
