Notes

Switch the protein – Use vanilla or unflavored protein if you want to tone down the chocolate.
Try a different nut butter – Peanut butter or cashew butter would also work well here.
Add texture – Stir in mini chocolate chips or a few crushed nuts before chilling.
Chill for 4 hours before serving. 
Use any milk, almond milk, soy, or dairy milk.
