I’m guessing you have some chocolate protein powder hiding in the back of your pantry. Perhaps it found a spot on top of your fridge? There ya go!
Pull it out, dust it off, and get ready to enjoy those morning protein shakes again because this Butterfinger Protein Shake will knock your socks off!
Surprisingly, there are zero Butterfingers harmed in this delicious shake.
The combination of chocolate protein powder, protein rich peanut butter, and a little bit of sugar free butterscotch pudding mix makes a guilt free shake that tastes exactly like a liquified butterfinger candy bar.
You’re welcome!
Some days I’ll mix it with almond milk, some days I mix it with regular milk… either way, it still tastes incredible. In fact, I look forward to my filling breakfast treat every day! Keeps me full until lunch time, which is a definite bonus for this full time food blogger!
I use the Shakeology Chocolate Protein Powder, but I’m sure any chocolate protein powder would give you the same results.

this sounds so good! I can’t wait to make it for dinner tonight. The only change I’ll be making is the addition of 2 Tbs. dark cocoa powder. I don’t usually like chocolate protein powder because it tastes like a fake chocolate flavor, so the unsweetened cocoa powder is a real game-changer for me. Thanks for the recipe!

U know i can understand why the one person stated that because of it having protein doesn’t make it healthy! SF can be a concern to some but when u look at the alternative to what really goes into smoothies at shops U would be surprised at the actual content of sugar that’s in there. I think well for me anyways these shakes are healthier and it’s still making wise decisions in what goes into your mouth. Tsp here or tbsp there really isn’t much especially the alternative so I still think this is a healthier option. This is just my opinion only. I’ve been drinking these for quite some time and with balanced meals and exercising I have lost 20-30lbs of unwanted fat with utilizing these shakes. I have never been more healthier than I am now. 🙂 God speed

Do you know how many calories this comes out to? I am trying this today 🙂

Everything is different as far as calories are concerned. It depends on what protein you are using. Some proteins have 140 calories per scoop and some only 90 calories. To give the right amount you have to figure it out for yourself sometimes. It doesn’t take long, when I did this recipe and with the protein I use came out to about 245 calories for me. But that’s using my own protein which has 190 calories per scoop.

Sophie, can you elaborate why its not healthy? * 1st time shaker*
Sophie
This may have protein but I wouldn’t exactly call this a health shake.

Love it! And if you don’t have any chocolate powder, use vanilla with a little bit of Sugar Free Chocolate Jello Pudding mix. Delish! I use PB2 instead of actual peanut butter. Not quite as good but saves a few calories. Love a good smoothie in the mornings. So much better than a heavy breakfast. In fact, my new fav is vanilla powder mixed in Trop50 for a creamsicle flavor!
Kristina
I just tried this and it is absolutely DELICIUOS!! I used 1 and 1/2 tablespoons PBfit instead of peanut butter and still soo yummy!! Thank you so much for posting this recepie!! My mornings are going to be so much better now!
Shawn
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Nicole
Where is the nutrition information for this shake?
Shawn
Hi Nicole, since a lot of protein powders vary in what they offer in way of nutrition, I do not have that information listed here.
Jerome
When it comes to the nutrition stats you have to see what the recipe calls for. The calories in a lot of sf items are next to nothing but for instance.
My stats for the butterfinger is
Protein:
Serving Size: (40g)
Calories 130
Total Fat 0
Sat Fat 0
Trans Fat 0
Cholesterol 0
Sodium 190mg
Potassium 570mg
Dietary Fiber 3g
Sugar 0
Protein 22g
Then you look at the peanut butter and see what the calories are for that. If you use a healthier pb the stats change.
SF Chocolate Pudding are usually carbs and sodium. Like Shawn stated there are different proteins being used so go by what you put in yours. I use two different kinds one is what’s listed above and another that has cholesterol in it and lower calories. But my peanut butter is made through a machine at a health food store so no sodium. I hope that helps some. 🙂 JJ
Jerome
Wow! That is an awesome shake!! I have one for you and I had it this morning it’s a Snickers Protein Shake
1tbsp SF Carmel Syrup
1tbsp natural peanut butter
1.5 tsp sf chocolate pudding mix
1-8oz cup skim or almond milk
2 scoops vanilla protein
2 cups ice
Blend together and enjoy 🙂
Shawn
Oh man, that sounds incredible! Can’t wait to try it. I just gotta get myself some vanilla protein powder. 🙂
Jerome
Here’s a Oreo cookie shake… I used to work for this company that sold different shakes that tasted like blizzards. I found one more. Trying to find more and when I do I’ll post it here. 🙂
Oreo ProteinShake
1.5 scoops vanilla protein shake mix,
8 oz skim milk, or almond
1 tbsp jello sf oreo pudding mix,
5-7 ice cubes,
1 tbsp lite whip cream,
1 fat free oreo crumbled to top it off. Now u can leave the cookie off the top and it will still taste great!
Shawn
Wow!! This one sounds amazing!! Thanks Jerome! 🙂
Angela @ Protein Companion
What a great way to use protein powder in a recipe! Chocolate in itself is a flavor straight from heaven and the fact that you have combined it with PB and butterscotch pudding is just tempting me to chug this shake down.
Jesse
Try using slim fast powder. Their chocolate flavor is the best ever
Janice
Where do you buy that brand protein powder?
Shawn
I bought my protein powder through beachbody.com, but I’m sure any chocolate protein powder would work for this. 🙂
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust
I am SO MAKING THIS TOMORROW for breakfast. #yum
Shawn
Thanks Dorothy! 🙂
Sarah K
Tried this today!! It’s great!
Stephanie @ Eat. Drink. Love.
Um, I want this.
Joicio
Shawn … Oh, this is so great and I found our protein powder and dust it off. Now, need to make a quick trip to the market to get Butterfingers. Would you believe that we can’t find a Butterfinger anywhere around this ole’ house … 🙂 But, I do have a question about the instant pudding – what flavor do we use? I’m thinking chocolate, but just not sure. Thank you for the recipe … you are wonderful!
Shawn
Hi Joicio, you’ll want to use the butterscotch pudding mix (I can’t believe I forgot to put that in the recipe, but I updated it just now), and you don’t actually put any butterfingers in the shake, so no need to purchase any of those! Unless, of course, you just want to eat a butterfinger! 😉
Aimee @ ShugarySweets
Oh man, I love butterfingers. Love that this shake doesn’t harm any, LOL!!!Looks awesome girl 🙂
Shawn
Thanks Aimee! 🙂
