Some summer cravings don’t need a complicated recipe. This simple homemade milkshake is creamy, refreshing, and feels like the perfect little pause in the middle of a warm day.
I came up with this recipe on one of those scorching summer afternoons when it was about 103°F outside. I wanted an easy way to boost my protein intake but needed a break from my usual handful of nuts. On a whim, I tossed in some frozen mango for a little natural sweetness—and it turned out to be exactly what I was craving. Creamy, refreshing, and surprisingly satisfying.

Equipment
- Blender with ice crusher feature
Ingredients
- 2 scoops Chocolate Protein Powder or vanilla if you prefer
- 1 cup milk or almond milk if you prefer
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks or any frozen fruit of your choice
Instructions
- Add frozen mango chunks, milk, and protein powder to the blender
- Start by processing on an "ice" setting for about 10 seconds
- Move to normal blend mode for about 30 seconds to 1 minute
- That's it! Pour into two glasses and share with a friend.
Keep extra milk at the ready in case the milkshake becomes too thick for the blender to process it. If so, add a tablespoon or so at a time to desired consistency.
You can keep extra in the refrigerator for a few hours. It may not be milkshake-y, but with a good stir, it makes a delicious chocolate milk.
Recipe Notes
Protein is based on your particular protein powder and the type of milk you use. This recipe came in at 28 grams of protein total using the whole milk and Designer Wellness Chocolate Protein Powder. So split between 2 servings that is 14 grams of protein each.
