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.

Ingredients 

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened, unsalted peanut butter crunchy, 15 grams
  • 1 tablespoon caramel sauce 15 ml
  • 1 teaspoon honey 5 ml
  • 1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder 30 grams or 1 oz
  • cup milk of choice about 80 ml
  • cup water about 80 ml
  • 3-4 ice cubes

To finish:

  • 1 teaspoon crushed peanuts about 5 grams
  • Optional: Chocolate sauce or caramel sauce for lacing the glass

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a blender.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust with more water or milk if needed.
  • Lace your glass with optional chocolate or caramel sauce, and pour in the shake.
  • Top with crushed peanuts, serve, and enjoy immediately!

Notes

Storage tips: This shake is best enjoyed fresh, but you can prep it in advance. Store the blended shake in the fridge for up to 24 hours in a tightly sealed container. Shake or stir well before drinking. Avoid freezing—it affects the creamy texture.
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.
Can I make it vegan? Absolutely! Use a plant-based chocolate protein powder, dairy-free caramel sauce, and non-dairy milk like almond or soy. Omit honey. 
How can I make it thicker? Use frozen milk cubes or double the peanut butter. A frozen banana can also work as a thickener while adding natural sweetness.
Is it okay to skip the caramel sauce? Yes! You can swap it with extra honey or leave it out if you’re cutting down on sugar.
