Put oat milk, espresso, cocoa powder, and chocolate protein powder into a blender. Secure lid.
Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
Blend until smooth.
Start the blender on LOW speed for 5 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for a full minute.
Pour shake into a cup. Serve immediately.

If plain cocoa powder is too bitter for your liking, add 1 tablespoon date syrup or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
For an icier shake, add a few ice cubes as the last ingredient.
You can also use 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup in place of cocoa powder. Keep in mind that chocolate syrup contains sweetener, so you might not need other sweetener add-ins.
Check the label of the protein powder before putting it in the blender. Some powders need more than one scoop per drink.
Store leftover protein shakes in an airtight jar in the refrigerator. The ingredients will separate over time, so try to drink it within 1 or 2 days. Be sure to shake the jar or stir the liquids first.
