This Coconut Protein Ice Cream recipe, made with the Ninja Creami, is a creamy and nutritious frozen treat perfect for a high-protein snack or dessert. Combining skim milk, almond milk, light coconut milk, vanilla protein powder, and a hint of vanilla pudding mix, it’s a delicious way to enjoy a guilt-free indulgence with a tropical twist of coconut shreds.

Ingredients

Liquids

  • 1/2 cup Fairlife skim milk
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup light coconut milk

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tbsp vanilla jello pudding mix
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Flavorings and Add-ins

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut shreds

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: Add the Fairlife skim milk, almond milk, light coconut milk, vanilla protein powder, vanilla jello pudding mix, vanilla extract, and salt into the Ninja Creami pint container up to the max fill line. Mix thoroughly using a hand-held frother to combine all ingredients evenly.
  2. Freeze Mixture: Place the pint container in the freezer and let it freeze for 24 hours until the mixture is solidly frozen.
  3. Prepare for Processing: Remove the frozen pint container from the freezer, run it under hot water for 60 seconds to loosen the ice cream, and install it securely into the Ninja Creami machine. Ensure the surface is level to prevent damage to the blade.
  4. First Spin: Select and press the ‘Lite Ice Cream’ button on the Ninja Creami machine to process the frozen mixture into ice cream texture. Remove the outer bowl lid after spinning.
  5. Respin if Needed: If the ice cream appears still powdery or crumbly, return the pint to the machine and select the ‘Respin’ option to improve texture.
  6. Adjust Consistency: Check for a creamy, smooth consistency. If the ice cream is too firm, you can add a small amount of liquid and respin again using the ‘Respin’ function to achieve the desired texture.
  7. Add Coconut Shreds: Create a small hole in the center of the ice cream and add the unsweetened coconut shreds. Use the ‘Mix-In’ function on the Ninja Creami to evenly distribute the coconut throughout the ice cream.
  8. Serve: Enjoy your creamy, protein-packed coconut ice cream immediately or store it in the freezer for later.

Notes

  • Make sure to freeze the mixture for the full 24 hours to ensure proper texture.
  • If the ice cream is too hard or icy after the first spin, adding a splash of milk before respinning can help soften it.
  • Using a hand-held frother ensures the mixture is smooth before freezing.
  • The recipe yields 1 serving, so for larger quantities, multiply ingredients accordingly and freeze in separate pint containers.
  • Ensure the pint container has a flat surface before processing in the Ninja Creami to protect the blade mechanism.
