Smoothie King Lean1™ Chocolate

Want to make the Smoothie King Lean1 Chocolate at home? This homemade copycat recipe uses easy ingredients you can find anywhere and tastes just like the store version. It’s smooth, chocolatey, and packed with protein—perfect for a lean, post-workout snack.

How I Figured Out This Recipe

I’ve always liked the Lean1 Chocolate because it’s lighter than the keto ones, but still filling. My first try was okay, but not chocolatey enough. I was missing the cocoa powder and banana that Smoothie King uses to give it that sweet, creamy flavor.

Once I added a ripe banana and a spoonful of unsweetened cocoa, it all came together. It had the right balance—creamy, chocolate-rich, and still lean. Now I make this one when I want something light but still packed with protein.

Lean1 Chocolate Ingredients

• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (like Lean1 or whey): gives the chocolate flavor and protein punch.
• 1 banana: adds natural sweetness and a creamy texture.
• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder: boosts that deep chocolate taste.
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk: keeps it smooth and low in calories.
• ½ cup ice: thickens it up and keeps it cold.
• Optional: 1 packet stevia if you want it sweeter.

How to Make Smoothie King Lean1 Chocolate (Copycat)

1. Add everything: protein powder, banana, cocoa powder, almond milk, and ice to your blender.
2. Blend low to high for about 30 seconds until smooth.
3. Taste and fix: too thick? add more almond milk. Want it sweeter? add stevia or a few berries.
4. Blend a little more if needed and enjoy fresh.

Why This Tastes Like the Smoothie King Version

• Chocolate protein and cocoa powder give that true chocolate taste.
• Banana adds smoothness and natural sweetness.
• Almond milk keeps it light, just like theirs.
• Ice thickens the smoothie, just like at the store.
• Optional stevia matches their no-sugar-added vibe.

Easy Tips and Swaps

• Don’t like bananas? Try frozen avocado or ½ cup frozen cauliflower for creaminess.
• Vegan? Use plant-based chocolate protein.
• Want more protein? Add an extra half scoop.
• Need it sweeter? Add 1-2 pitted dates or more stevia.

How to Store Your Smoothie

In the Fridge: Store in a sealed jar up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking—banana thickens over time.

In the Freezer: Freeze in a container and thaw overnight in the fridge. Blend again to bring back the texture.
