Description

This Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream recipe is a quick and delicious way to enjoy a high-protein dessert at home. Using your favorite protein powder combined with milk and instant pudding mix, this treat is churned in the Ninja Creami machine to create a smooth, creamy ice cream that’s perfect for a healthy indulgence.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients: Add all ingredients directly into your Ninja Creami container, ensuring you measure accurately for the best texture.
  2. Blend Mixture: Use a handheld milk frother to blend everything together until the mixture is fully smooth and no clumps of protein powder remain, which is essential for a creamy result.
  3. Freeze: Seal the lid tightly and place the container upright in your freezer. Freeze for at least 24 hours or until the mixture is completely solid to achieve the perfect consistency for processing.
  4. Process in Ninja Creami: Insert the frozen container into your Ninja Creami machine and select the Lite Ice Cream option to spin the ice cream, which softens and aerates the mixture.
  5. Re-Spin if Needed: If after the first spin the texture is crumbly, add a splash of milk directly to the container and use the Re-Spin function until the ice cream becomes smooth and creamy.
  6. Add Mix-ins: Stir in extras such as crushed protein bars, sugar-free chocolate chips, peanut butter cups, or swirls of peanut butter after spinning to enhance flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use chocolate milk and chocolate instant pudding for a chocolate-flavored ice cream variation.
  • A handheld milk frother helps to eliminate powder clumps for a smoother final texture.
  • Freezing for at least 24 hours is critical to allow the mixture to harden adequately before processing.
  • Adding a splash of milk and re-spinning smooths out any crumbly texture that might occur post-processing.
  • Customize your ice cream by adding mix-ins such as sugar-free chocolate chips or peanut butter after the spinning process.
  • This recipe makes 2 servings, perfect for portion control.
