You know those mornings when you just need a little pick-me-up that feels indulgent but is still nourishing?
That’s exactly why I created this Choco-Coconut Bliss Shake.
I stumbled upon this combination when I was experimenting with different smoothie recipes, and it quickly became my go-to for a quick breakfast or an afternoon snack.
Plus, it’s packed with goodness from whole foods, which really aligns with my love for cooking with intention.

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using almond milk, but you can switch it up with oat or coconut milk. If you want a richer flavor, coconut milk is divine! The raw cacao powder is my favorite because it’s less processed, but cocoa powder works too if that’s what you have on hand.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my cacao powder in a glass jar to keep it fresh and flavorful.
- •If you like your shakes extra thick, add in a tablespoon of nut butter for a protein boost.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a tablespoon of chia seeds for added nutrition. It gives a nice texture too!
- •You could swap the banana for a cup of spinach if you’re feeling adventurous—just don’t forget to adjust the sweetness!
Storage & Freezing
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge, but I recommend enjoying it fresh for the best flavor and texture. It’ll keep for about a day, but the shake might separate a bit, so just give it a quick stir before drinking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this shake ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prep the ingredients the night before and just blend them in the morning. If you blend it ahead of time, I recommend storing it in an airtight container in the fridge.
