Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk of choice
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder represents the biscuit base
  • 1 tbsp malted milk powder for that authentic biscuit flavor
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for the chocolate dip swirl
  • 0.5 tsp honey to sweeten the cocoa
  • 0.25 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla for creaminess
  • 1 tsp mini chocolate chips optional garnish
  • 0.5 cup ice cubes for texture

Notes

To make this dairy-free, use a plant-based protein and replace the malted milk powder with a teaspoon of almond butter. This shake is best served immediately but can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 hours; shake well before drinking.
