Nutella Milkshake Recipe: 4-Ingredient Chocolate Shake (60 Seconds)

A nutella milkshake recipe turns four pantry ingredients into a thick chocolate-hazelnut shake in 60 seconds. Two tablespoons of Nutella, cold milk, frozen banana, and a few ice cubes. The whole thing fits in a 500ml portable blender bottle and costs 80 to 100 rupees at home versus 250 to 400 rupees at a cafe.

Ingredients & Quantities

• 30g Nutella (2 tbsp)
• 250ml cold whole milk
• 100g frozen banana (1 medium, sliced and frozen)
• 20g ice cubes (4 to 5 small cubes)

Just 4 ingredients. No ice cream needed. Frozen banana gives you the same thick texture.

Step-by-Step Recipe

1. Pour cold milk first. Add 250ml of cold whole milk to your portable blender bottle.
2. Add Nutella. Scoop 30g (2 tablespoons) of Nutella directly into the milk. If the Nutella is stiff from the jar, microwave it for 10 seconds to soften slightly.
3. Drop in frozen banana. Add 100g of pre-sliced frozen banana. Freeze banana slices on a tray the night before so they do not clump together.
4. Add ice cubes. Drop in 20g of small ice cubes.
5. Blend for 30 to 60 seconds. Run until the colour is uniform chocolatey brown with no streaks.
6. Swirl and serve. The shake should coat the back of a spoon. If it is too thick, add 30ml more milk.

3 Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Overfilling beyond 400ml of liquid. Causes leaks or incomplete blending due to limited headspace. Keep total ingredients under 450ml for portable blenders.
2. Adding unfrozen banana or room-temp milk. Results in a watery texture instead of a thick, creamy shake. Frozen banana is essential for structure. Chill your milk for at least 2 hours.
3. Skipping ice or using large chunks. Large ice cubes overload portable blender motors. Use 4 to 5 small cubes (20g total) or skip ice entirely if using frozen banana.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use any chocolate spread instead of Nutella?

Yes. Any hazelnut-chocolate spread works. Indian brands like Hershey's or Cadbury chocolate spread are good alternatives. The flavour will differ slightly since each brand has a different cocoa-to-hazelnut ratio.

How many calories are in a Nutella milkshake?

This recipe has 385 calories per 500ml serving. That is about half the calories of a cafe-bought Nutella milkshake (which often uses extra ice cream and whipped cream). The frozen banana replaces ice cream here.

Can I make Nutella milkshake without banana?

Yes. Replace the banana with 100g of vanilla ice cream for a more traditional milkshake flavour. This adds about 100 extra calories and removes the potassium and fibre that banana provides.

Is Nutella milkshake good for kids?

As an occasional treat, yes. At 42g sugar per serving, it is not a daily drink. The kids version with strawberry has less banana sugar and more fruit nutrition. Limit to once or twice a week.

How do I make it thicker?

Use 150g of frozen banana instead of 100g. Or add 50g of vanilla ice cream on top of the banana. Another trick: freeze the milk into cubes and use those instead of regular ice.
