Chocolate Protein Powder Recipes (+ Malai Kulfi Ideas)

Here is a truth every gym-goer learns sooner or later: the best protein powder is the one you actually enjoy drinking. Taste decides whether a tub gets finished or sits half-full in a cupboard. That is why chocolate protein powder remains a favourite, and why Indian flavours like malai kulfi protein are winning people over. This guide covers both flavours of EVRYDAY Yeast Protein and gives you simple, everyday recipes to keep things interesting.

The two EVRYDAY flavours

Both flavours share the same label numbers: 25.5g protein per 30g scoop, 0g added sugar and 33 servings per 1kg tub. The only difference is taste.

Chocolate: the all-rounder

EVRYDAY Yeast Protein Chocolate is the safe choice if you are buying your first tub. Chocolate works with water, works with milk, works with banana, coffee, peanut butter and oats. If you like your post-workout shake to feel a little indulgent, this is the one.

Malai Kulfi: the desi favourite

EVRYDAY Yeast Protein Malai Kulfi is inspired by the creamy frozen dessert most of us grew up with on summer evenings. It is a softer, milky-sweet flavour that pairs well with cardamom, saffron-style notes, mango and dry fruits. Great if you are bored of chocolate or want something that feels more homely.

Recipe 1: The basic shake (label method)

Straight from the label, and the quickest option after training:

1. Add one level scoop (30g) to a shaker.
2. Pour in 250 to 300ml of chilled water.
3. Shake for 15 to 20 seconds and drink.

Tip: add water first, then powder, to reduce clumps.

Recipe 2: Creamy chocolate milk shake

For a thicker, richer shake when you have a few extra minutes:

• 1 level scoop EVRYDAY Chocolate
• 250ml chilled milk (or half milk, half water)
• 1 ripe banana
• A few ice cubes

Blend until smooth. Want a mocha version? Add a small amount of cooled black coffee. Remember that milk and banana add their own calories and protein on top of the scoop.

Recipe 3: Malai kulfi protein shake

• 1 level scoop EVRYDAY Malai Kulfi
• 250ml chilled milk or water
• A pinch of elaichi (cardamom) powder
• 2 to 3 chopped almonds or pistachios on top

Blend or shake, pour into a glass and sprinkle the nuts on top. It tastes like a lighter, everyday version of kulfi in a glass.

Recipe 4: Chocolate overnight oats

A make-ahead breakfast for busy mornings:

1. In a jar, add 40g rolled oats.
2. Add 1 level scoop EVRYDAY Chocolate.
3. Pour in about 200ml milk or water and stir well so there are no dry lumps.
4. Add a spoon of chia seeds if you like a thicker texture.
5. Close the jar and refrigerate overnight.
6. In the morning, top with sliced banana or a few nuts.

If it is too thick, loosen it with a splash of milk or water before eating.

Recipe 5: Mango malai smoothie

Perfect for mango season:

• 1 level scoop EVRYDAY Malai Kulfi
• Half a cup of ripe mango pieces
• 200ml chilled milk or water
• A few ice cubes

Blend until smooth. The kulfi flavour and mango together taste a lot like a summer dessert, without any added sugar from the scoop.

Recipe 6: Peanut butter chocolate smoothie

• 1 level scoop EVRYDAY Chocolate
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter
• 1 banana
• 250ml milk or water

Blend and drink. This one is more filling, so it works well as a breakfast or a long gap between meals.

Recipe 7: Chocolate curd bowl

A quick, no-blender option for evenings:

1. Take a bowl of thick, chilled curd (about 150g).
2. Stir in half a level scoop of EVRYDAY Chocolate until smooth. Add a splash of milk or water if it gets too thick.
3. Top with a few slices of banana, some roasted peanuts or a sprinkle of oats.

Using half a scoop keeps the texture creamy. Malai Kulfi works here too, especially with chopped pistachios and a pinch of elaichi on top.

Tips for better protein recipes

• Do not cook it on high heat. Stir protein powder into oats or other foods after they have cooled a little, rather than boiling it, for better texture.
• Measure a level scoop. The 25.5g protein figure is for a level 30g scoop.
• Watch the extras. Milk, fruit, nut butter and oats are nutritious, but they add calories. Adjust them to your goals.
• Add creatine if you take it. A 3g serving of unflavoured creatine disappears into any of these shakes. See our creatine monohydrate guide.

Chocolate or Malai Kulfi: which should you buy?

If you want one flavour that goes with everything, pick Chocolate. If you love Indian dessert flavours or are tired of chocolate, pick Malai Kulfi.
