Malted Milk Chocolate Protein Shake

Malted Milk Chocolate Protein Shake
Posted under Breakfasts / Shakes

Here's the Dish

I have so many wonderful memories of Easter morning growing up…But one of my favorite childhood memories is when my mom would hide easter baskets for my sisters and I , and we would run around the house trying to find them!  My mom would fill our easter baskets with all kinds of fun stuff from lipgloss to arts and crafts, and a few of our favorite easter candies of course! My favorites were Reeses Peanut Butter Eggs, and Malted Milk Ball Robin Eggs!

If you like Malted Milk Ball Robin Eggs, (also known as Whoppers), then you will love this Malted Milk Chocolate Protein Shake!

Method

The estimated total time to make this recipe is 5-10 Minutes.

1

Measure out the first five ingredients, and place them in the blender.

2

Measure out your ice. I use a general rule of thumb, which is using enough ice to fill the cup I will be using. (I like my shakes thick enough to eat like a milkshake, but if you wanted a thinner consistency, use about 1/2 the amount of ice!)

3

Next, place a few of your malted milk balls in a ziplock bag, and crush them using a rolling pin, a meat pounder, or even the bottom of a glass!

(This step is certainly optional~ because the malted milk balls are an optional garnish! )


4

Add water to blender just before blending, and blend until shake has reached desired consistency. Pour into serving glass.

5

Garnish with with light whipped cream, and a few crushed malted milk balls if desired!

Ingredients

print-friendly version!
1 scoop Vanilla or chocolate protein powder1
1/2 cup Cottage cheese (or 1 cup plain yogurt)2
2-3 tbs Cocoa powder
2 tbs Plain or chocolate malted milk powder
2-3 pktsStevia or whatever low calorie sweetener you choose (to taste)
5-10 Ice cubes (depending on how thick you like it, use less for a thinner consistency)
4-6 oz Water (again alter this according to desired consistency)
OptionalA few malted milk balls to garnish

1 Should havearound 100 calories per scoop (use can also use more scoops if your making it a meal)

2 This may sound strange, but TRUST me… this is what makes the ‘MILKSHAKE’ consistency! Also, if you are sensitive to dairy, you can use tofu to get the same consistency!

Katie's Tip!

I like my shakes thick enough to eat like a milkshake, but if you wanted a thinner consistency, use about 1/2 the amount of ice!

This is too cute! I love robins eggs so putting them in a milkshake sounds great. Cottage cheese is an interesting addition, I never would have thought of that!

Kathleen,
Maca has a malt like taste. http://www.navitasnaturals.com/products/maca/maca-powder.html
You could also try carob powder, or a combination of both.

Thanks again, Katie! I’ve had this 3 times this week for breakfast (after working out) and I’m lovin’ it! Soooo hits the spot. Also, I add a handful of spinach to the mix to add a little more green into my day. The chocolate and malt is so rich and yummy, you can’t even tell it’s there!

It was super chocolaty, and I think I might make a few changed next time.

Less cocoa powder (1-1/2 tbs), and 3 tbs malted milk powder. Maybe some vanilla for flavoring.

I had this for dessert and it is good. I use designer whey most of the time, but didn’t have the chocolate one, so I used EAS whey. Not my favorite protein powder.

Love your recipes though!

I just made a 1/2 recipe of this shake and it was great. I have to watch my salt intake, and some cottage cheese products have a ton of salt. I found one (Hood)that has NO SALT! Also, I used the minimum amount of cocoa powder, the maximum amount of ice (5 cubes for half recipe), and 1 teaspoon of Truvia spoonable (a mixture of Stevia and Erythritol). It was soooo good! Just like the best malted milk shake, except more refreshing, and guilt-free. Brilliant recipe Katie. Thanks!

I have great memories of being a kid and going with my dad to Steak ‘n’ Shake, where he would always get a vanilla malt shake. I made this for myself in chocolate and for my husband in strawberry and it took me back to my childhood immediately! These are delicious! I have to share with my dad next time I go to visit my parents.
