Health Benefits
Milk – Milk, mainly from cows, sheep, and goats, has been consumed through out the world for thousands of years. It is protein-rich and packed with important nutrients including, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium, phosphorous, potassium, and selenium. Milk is known to benefit bone health and may prevent osteoporosis.
Whey Protein Powder – Whey protein powder is the most highly studied nutritional supplement readily available, providing great nutritional value and numerous health benefits.

How To Make The Smoothie King Gladiator Chocolate
The Smoothie King Gladiator Chocolate is very easy to make:
- Step 1: Place milk, Gladiator protein powder, and ice into a blender and secure the lid.
- Step 2: Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
- Step 3: Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.
Recipe Tips And Substitutions
For a lighter take, swap the milk for water to cut calories while keeping the protein punch intact, or experiment with almond milk, oat milk, or any preferred liquid base to suit dairy-free or vegan preferences.
Substitute the Gladiator protein powder with an equivalent scoop of Gold Standard chocolate protein powder and incorporate a teaspoon of MCT oil for added sustained energy and a smoother texture.
Boost nutrition by adding a banana for natural sweetness and potassium, a spoonful of peanut butter for extra healthy fats and satiety, or spinach for hidden greens without altering the chocolate dominance.
