Are you craving Nutella but can’t afford the calories? Our Nutella Protein Shake is here to help beat those hazelnut cravings! This high protein drink is quick, delicious, great for after the gym, guaranteed to satisfy.
We’re using banana and ice in this recipe so you’re going to need a blender to make this, here’s a link to the one I use nowadays.
Add right into your blender 3/4 cup of unsweetened milk substitute, 1/2 of a banana, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/4 cup of cottage cheese, 1 tablespoon of Nutella, 1 scoop of a chocolate protein powder, 2 tablespoons of coconut flour, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup of ice.
Outside of not being able to taste it, cottage cheese will thicken up your shake and add some slow digesting casein protein to it which will keep you feeling full for longer.
Blend everything together until you have your Nutella protein shake, this should take a minute or less.
Did you know that both coconut flour and cocoa powder are cheap, low in calories, and high in fiber?
Pour your shake into your favorite glass and optionally top it! I went with some low fat whipped cream, cocoa powder, and fresh banana slices today.
Some other great topping options? Crushed up nuts, ground cinnamon, other fresh fruit slices like strawberries, chocolate sprinkles, etc!

Wow, yumm! And so much satisfying protein with the added cottage cheese.
I have to really restrict calories, so I had to adulterate your recipe by replacing the Nutella with ChocZero Hazelnut and Coconut Flour with coconut extract.
The ChocZero Hazelnut has 6g of fiber in 2T, though, so yay. I only used 1T this time and may try 2T next time. Also think I’ll try adding some PB2 for some nuttiness. But it was great the way I made it, and so different from my usual protein shakes.
Anyway, thanks for the inspiration! I always enjoy your content.
Love that you made it work for your goals, Joan! The ChocZero swap is smart and PB2 would be a great addition for that extra nuttiness.
What purpose does the almond flour serve? Is there an alternative?
Hey Pam! The recipe actually uses coconut flour (not almond flour), and it helps thicken the shake up a bit. You can leave it out or swap in oat flour if you’d like!
Whoa that was good! I wouldn’t have thought of mixing Cocoa, Banana and Hazelnut, but wow! I am trying to drop weight, so I subbed a sugar free hazelnut for the Nutella. It was really good. Thanks for these great ideas.
Glad you liked it Steve!
D-Lish!
