Chocolate Fat Shake
This Banting friendly Fat Shake Recipe is one of best weight loss shakes you can make yourself.
This fat shake will help you consume plenty of healthy fats which are the backbone of this Banting, or Keto, styled eating plan.
In fact the benefits of this delicious weight loss shake are that it provides you with plenty of energy and will keep you feeling full for ages without getting any cravings to snack.
Interestingly this fat shake recipe originated from a blog post on a popular South African cycling forum (The Hub SA) some years ago.
According to Noakes fat is your friend & is also an appetite suppressant which will therefore keep you feeling full for longer whilst providing you with enough fuel to keep your energy levels topped up for longer.
So when a cyclist or endurance athlete says they do not start their training days without having their fat shakes first it makes a massive statement as to the important role that fat plays in keeping your body fuelled for long lasting energy.
Chocolate Fat Shake Recipe
Ingredients
- 150ml full cream milk (organic is best otherwise it could be full of antibiotics & growth hormones or other nasties)
- 50g butter (again, organic is best)
- 50ml cream
- 200ml coconut cream
- 1tbsp sugar-free hot chocolate, cocoa powder or some chunks of 80% chocolate
- ¼ tsp salt
- optional – add fresh or frozen berries, vanilla extract, almond nut butter
- for extra sweetness you can also add xylitol or stevia
Directions
- For the cold version…
Blend the mixture with a stick blender, drink & enjoy - For the hot version…
you just need to warm all the mixture above in a saucepan, blend & drink
This is a great option not only for endurance athletes, but also for anyone who is struggling to control their appetite or weight.
Fat is an appetite suppressant and as consequence will keep you feeling full for longer whilst providing you with enough fuel to keep you energised.

Chaps, please could you remove the coconut sugar from this recipe. It isn’t in the book and RMR does not endorse it at all. It completely defeats the purpose of Banting.
Thanks a mil,

The guy who wrote the recipe.
Thanks for pointing that out Jonno (as have others) – not sure how that crept in there & totally agree that it’s contrary to Banting & a healthy sugar-free diet.
Just want to know if the shake can be used as a meal replacement and what if I am still a bit hungry and eat something on the green list will this have an influence on my weight loss.
Hi Gerhard
You should be ok with that but remember everyone is different so I recommend you consult a registered dietician or nutritionist for professional advice.
Also remember that it’s what you eat & not how many calories you consume that is important – read more about the calorie debate as to how many calories men & women should be eating per day
Hi There
I find that a lot of these recipes are great but never include nutritional values.These are absolutely necessary if you are following a real food low carb lifestyle.
