I'd recommend Greek yogurt over ice cream. Sugar really isn't meant for human consumption. Fruit has some sugar, but nothing like cane sugar or HFCS. Sugar short-circuits the bodies natural processes. Cocoa powder isn't a bad idea, with dark chocolate being better than milk chocolate.
Fruit and some yogurt are a better option.

Try mixing in fresh fruits. That may change the flavor profile.

Make it into a smoothie.
Like /u/nilceps said, depending on how many calories you need to/are trying to add to it depends on what you should add.
Some options for banana could include: avocados (adds a 'spicy' aftertaste)
berries - strawberries, blueberries, etc
oats
fruits - cherries, apples (iffy on this one), bananas, etc
vanilla/chocolate ice cream
almond/coconut milk instead of water (I'm lactose intolerant hence these instead of 2%/whole/skim milk)

" avocados (adds a 'spicy' aftertaste)" Yeah I don't know about that. Maybe your thinking of guacamole lol.
It's not spicey like chili or jalepeno spice, but it's the only way I would describe it.

Sounds like you need to change your protein powder. Paying a little extra for something you don't have to choke down is worth it.
