Ingredients

If using Protein Powder

If using Protein Shake

Instructions

If using Protein Powder

  • In a blender add the vanilla protein powder, almond milk, sugar-free pudding mix (we used banana flavor), and vanilla extract. Blend for 30 seconds then pour into the Ninja Creami pint and freeze for 24 hours.
    1.5 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 2.5 tablespoon low carb vanilla protein powder, 2 tablespoon sugar free pudding mix, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

If using Protein Shake

  • Add the Fairlife protein shake (any flavor) to the Ninja Creami pint with the almond milk and sugar free pudding mix (any flavor). You will probably want to use chocolate flavors together but if you have a vanilla shake you can use any flavor pudding mix.
    Mix together and store in the freezer for 24 hours.
    .5 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1 bottle Fairlife protein shake, 2 tablespoon sugar free pudding mix

Steps for both variations

  • Remove the Ninja Creami pint from the freezer after 24 hours. Remove the lid from the pint and place the pint into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami with the lid locked in place.
    Lock it into the Ninja Creami machine and use the "light ice cream" button to mix.
  • After completing the mix, take it out from the machine and assess if the ice cream has reached your desired consistency; in case it appears slightly crumbly, you can enhance its creaminess by adding a tablespoon of milk or heavy cream to the center of the ice cream and utilizing the "respin" function on the machine.
    Now you can enjoy your Ninja Creami protein ice cream
