Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding a natural sweetener if desired, then blend briefly again.

Vanilla extract enhances the chocolate flavor and adds warmth, making the shake more complex and satisfying.
