Mylee's Corner: Best Ninja Creami Recipe

 

Best Ninja Creami Recipe

In November 2024, I purchased a NinjaCreami for my mom's birthday. She wanted it to make slushies and ice cream, and little did we know we’d fall in love with it. We’ve made plenty of ice cream and slushies, but my favorite is the protein ice cream. If you’re craving sweets but also need to increase your protein, these recipes are perfect for you! 

I’ve made the basic flavors such as chocolate and vanilla. These only take three simple ingredients:

 

1.     Milk

2.     Vanilla or chocolate pudding mix (I use Great Value)

3.     Protein Powder

 

In the cup that comes with the Creami, add milk until it’s right below the freeze-fill line. Then add one packet of pudding mix and two small scoops of protein powder. Mix it up and let it freeze for 12-24 hours. 

 

After freezing, let it sit out on the counter to thaw. Then add a little more milk and put it into the Creami and push the knob over to the ice cream setting. It’ll mix for about two minutes, and then your ice cream is ready! If you don’t eat the entire cup, you will have to refreeze it and mix it again when you want more. 

 

Another one I made was a birthday cake, which is a very similar process to the others. Instead of milk and protein powder, I used a birthday cake protein shake and birthday cake pudding mix (Sonic brand). You’ll go through the same process of freezing and mixing. It comes out thicker than the other ones, you can add milk to thin it out if you prefer. You can also add sprinkles and birthday cake cookie dough bites to make it extra delicious! 

 

These three are my current favorites, but I will be trying more soon! It’s the perfect sweet treat that helps me reach my protein goals.
