What You’ll Need
Here is what you’ll need for this Snickers protein shake recipe. Find the full measurements in the recipe card below.
- Chocolate protein powder: The base of the shake—use chocolate whey or your favorite chocolate-flavored alternative. No chocolate? Sub with vanilla protein powder and a spoonful of cacao powder.
- Peanut butter: Crunchy adds texture, creamy blends smoother; swap with almond butter if preferred.
- Caramel sauce: Store-bought or homemade, it brings that signature Snickers sweetness.
- Honey: A hint of natural sweetness. Optional but recommended!
- Milk: I used lactose-free cow’s milk but you can try almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free option.
- Water and ice cubes: Add extra liquid to the shake and ice cubes give it a frosty, thick texture. Make sure your blender can handle ice!
- Optional toppings: Crushed peanuts and a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce in the glass to make it look cafe-fancy.
