Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream Recipe
The Ninja Creami is one of the most fun and popular kitchen machines right now! Using this machine, you can create delicious, creamy, protein ice creams that will fit into your daily macros with ease.
Equipment
- 1 Ninja Creami Machine
- 1 Blender (optional, but optimal)- I like my Ninja blender
- 1 Kitchen scale or measuring cup
- 1 Spoon or spatula
Ingredients
- 12 oz milk (I find Fairlife 1% works best)
- 1 scoop protein powder (I like Clean Simple Eats best Code TAMI)
Instructions
- Add 12 oz. of milk to your blender cup (or right into your Ninja Creami ice cream cup if you’re not using a blender).
- Add 1 scoop of protein powder and any other ingredients you’re planning to add to the base i.e. vanilla extract, cocoa powder, etc.
- Blend the milk & protein powder together until well combined. If not using a blender, whisk together thoroughly.
- Pour the mixture into your Creami ice cream pink container and place the lid on securely.
- Place your ice cream pint into the freezer and allow to freeze overnight or for at least 6 full hours.
- Once your mixture has completely frozen, remove it from the freezer and remove the lid.
- Put your frozen protein ice cream base on your Ninja Creami pint holder.
- Place the blade securely into the lid and then place the lid onto the pint holder.
- Lock the Creami into place, turn the machine on, and then select “ice cream.”
- After the first cycle has completed, remove your pint from the Creami, remove the bladed lid, and create a small hole in the middle of the ice cream. Your ice cream at this point should be a little more like shaved ice than ice cream.
- Add a couple of tablespoons of milk to the whole you created in the center.
- Place the Creami pint lid back on and place your pint back on the machine.
- Once secure, run the ice cream cycle again.
- After the cycle has finished, remove the lid and give your ice cream a stir. At this point, it should be very smooth, creamy, and ice cream-like.
- Create another small hole in the center and add your mix-ins right into the whole.
- Place the lid back on the Creami pint, add the pint back onto the machine, secure it in place, and run the machine on the “mix-ins” cycle.
- Once the cycle is finished, remove the pint from the machine and remove the lid.
- Scoop your ice cream out into a bowl and add any additional toppings of your choice. Enjoy!!
Notes
If your ice cream doesn’t come out as creamy as you’d like, add a couple of tablespoons of milk and use the “re-spin” option as many times as needed to get the consistency you want.
You can store your ice cream in the freezer so long as you keep the lid securely closed.
