What Mint Chocolate actually tastes like
Mint Chocolate is a cool, refreshing shake with a clear mint flavour and a chocolate base, think After Eight in milkshake form. The mint is genuine rather than artificial-tasting, and the chocolate provides enough richness to make it feel satisfying rather than just sweet.
It is a stronger, more distinctive flavour than Smooth Chocolate. People who love mint chocolate tend to love this shake and use it consistently. People who are not sure about mint in a breakfast context should start with Smooth Chocolate first and come back to Mint Chocolate once they have established the habit.
It works best blended with ice, the cold temperature amplifies the mint and makes it feel genuinely refreshing. Shaken with cold milk it is still good but less impactful.
Best ways to make it
Standard (90 seconds)
2 scoops + 250–300ml cold semi-skimmed milk in a shaker. Approximately 221 calories and 18g protein. The mint flavour is clear and refreshing even without blending.
Blended with ice (2 minutes)
Blend with 200ml milk and a generous handful of ice. The cold temperature makes the mint much more pronounced. Thick, cold and genuinely refreshing, the best way to use this flavour.
Mint choc truffles
Mix with oats, peanut butter and a splash of milk, roll into balls and refrigerate. A high-protein snack that uses the Mint Chocolate flavour brilliantly. See the full Mint Chocolate Protein Truffles recipe.
Higher protein (2 minutes)
Add a scoop of PDM to the standard recipe. Boosts protein to approximately 33–35g per serving without changing the mint chocolate flavour.
Mint Chocolate vs Smooth Chocolate, which to choose
Choose Mint Chocolate if: you genuinely love mint chocolate as a flavour combination (After Eights, mint Magnums, mint chocolate chip ice cream). You want a shake that feels refreshing rather than just filling. You are confident you will enjoy it every morning.
Choose Smooth Chocolate if: you want a classic chocolate shake without the mint. You are not sure whether you will enjoy mint at breakfast. You want a more versatile flavour that works with peanut butter, banana and other additions.
Both are £26.46 for 550g, approximately £1.26 per meal. The only question is which flavour you will look forward to drinking every morning for three weeks.
