Description
This Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream is the ultimate healthy, protein-packed treat you can whip up in your Ninja Creami with just 3 main ingredients. It’s creamy, smooth, and easily customized with your favorite mix-ins.
Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Ice Cream Base
- 1.5 cups Fairlife chocolate milk
- 1 scoop (30g) chocolate protein powder (like Clean Simple Eats)
- 1 tablespoon dry chocolate pudding mix
Vanilla Ice Cream Base
- 1.5 cups Fairlife Core Power Vanilla Protein Shake
- 1 scoop (3og) vanilla protein powder (like Clean Simple Eats)
- 1 tablespoon dry vanilla pudding mix
Instructions
- Make the ice cream base – Add all of the ice cream base ingredients to a blender and blend on high until smooth with no lumps in the mixture. Note: I do this for each base recipe.
- Freeze – Pour the ice cream mixture into the Ninja Creami pint ice cream container. Tightly secure the lid and place it in the freezer for 12-24 hours.
- Blend – once the ice cream mixture is ready, remove the lid, place the container into the Ninja Creami outer container, secure it according to your creami instructions and select “lite ice cream”. Once the first spin is done, you will need to do a “re-spin. If the mixture looks dry, I like to add a splash of milk to loosen it up before you respin. Then place the outer bowl lid back on, secure your ice cream, and select “re-spin”.
- Add your mix-ins – if you like you can add any mix-ins you prefer. We added some mini peanut butter cups to the chocolate base and Oreos to the vanilla base and it was amazing. Add the mix-ins in the hole formed in the center of your ice cream, cover, and spin by selecting the “mix-ins” button.
- Serve – top with more toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- The base ice cream mixtures can be stored in the freezer for up to one month before you make your ice cream.
- Store mixed ice cream in the freezer for up to 24 hours then just add a splash of milk and respin your leftovers. It is not as good as when you originally made the ice cream but it is still delicious!
