This is my go-to protein shake when I am in the mood for something chocolaty, yet healthy and filling. This shake could be perfect for breakfast or even as a healthy dessert or post-workout option, making it perfect for every hard-working chocolate-loving athlete! And it can be made in a dorm (just don't wake up your roommate)!
