Here are some creative Bournvita shake variations:
A timeless favorite, the classic Bournvita shake combines the smoothness of milk and vanilla ice cream with the bold flavor of Bournvita powder. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of Bournvita. There’s no limit or wrong answer to the amount of Bournvita powder that goes into it.

The natural sweetness of bananas complements the chocolatey notes of Bournvita perfectly. Blended with milk and Bournvita powder, this shake offers a nutritious and delectable option for health-conscious indulgence. The addition of bananas to the classic recipe makes it thicker and richer. To go the healthier route, also add some rolled oats and chia seeds, making it the perfect breakfast. Serve in a glass or smoothie bowl and top with thinly sliced banana pieces.
For those who enjoy a satisfying crunch, adding almonds, hazelnuts, or cashews to the Bournvita shake creates a delightful nutty texture. Once you've blended the ingredients together, also add some whole nuts from the top so there’s more of a crunch throughout the drink. Finished with chocolate syrup and a garnish of chopped nuts, it's a treat for both the palate and the senses.
The infusion of fresh mint leaves into a Bournvita shake creates a refreshing and invigorating beverage. Mint's coolness enhances the chocolate flavor, making it an ideal choice for warm days or as an after-dinner refreshment. It’s refreshing and an exciting combination for the palette with every sip. Top with some fresh mint leaves. The green against the brown is as appealing as the complementing tastes.
Add caramel syrup to the blender, along with the milk and Bournvita powder. The heavenly combination of caramel and Bournvita results in a shake that's as rich as it is flavorful. For more flavor, add a dollop of peanut or almond butter. Drizzled with caramel sauce and adorned with crushed biscuits on top, it's a dessert in a glass, perfect for those with a sweet tooth.
For the ultimate chocolate indulgence, throw together all your favorite things in the blender, channeling your inner child with no restraint. Add the milk, ice cream if you prefer, some vanilla extract, the Bournvita powder and Oreos. It’s a sweetness overload for those times the cravings hit hard.
