Description

This Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream recipe combines protein powder with instant pudding and milk to create a creamy, high-protein frozen treat. Using the Ninja Creami machine, the mix is frozen overnight then spun into smooth ice cream, perfect for a delicious and nutritious dessert or post-workout snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk (use chocolate milk for chocolate ice cream)
  • 2 tablespoons instant pudding mix (use chocolate pudding for chocolate ice cream)
  • 2 scoops protein powder (use your favorite flavor)
  • A pinch of salt

Alternate Variation

  • 1 1/2 cups milk (chocolate milk for chocolate ice cream)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar-free instant pudding (chocolate flavor for chocolate ice cream)
  • 1 1/2 scoops protein powder (favorite flavor)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients: Add all ingredients directly into your Ninja Creami container, ensuring all powders are measured accurately to create the right texture.
  2. Blend: Use a handheld milk frother to blend all ingredients together until the mixture is fully smooth and there are no clumps of protein powder or pudding mix.
  3. Freeze: Seal the lid tightly on the container and place it upright in your freezer. Freeze for at least 24 hours until the mixture is solid and ready to be processed.
  4. Spin the Ice Cream: Insert the frozen container into your Ninja Creami machine. Select the Lite Ice Cream option and spin to transform the frozen block into creamy ice cream.
  5. Adjust Texture: If the ice cream texture is crumbly or dry after the first spin, add a splash of milk directly into the container. Then, use the Re-Spin function on the Ninja Creami until the ice cream becomes smooth and creamy.
  6. Add Mix-Ins: After spinning, mix in optional extras like crushed protein bars, sugar-free chocolate chips, peanut butter cups, or swirls of peanut butter to customize your ice cream.

Notes

  • Use chocolate milk and chocolate instant pudding for a rich chocolate-flavored ice cream.
  • Ensure the mixture is completely frozen before spinning in the Ninja Creami for best texture.
  • The Re-Spin function is helpful to fix crumbly textures by adding small amounts of liquid.
  • Customize with mix-ins post-spin for added flavor and texture.
  • Store leftover ice cream in the freezer and let soften slightly before serving for best consistency.
