Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream

The Ninja Ice cream maker is an amazing appliance for making quick and delicious ice creams. It’s a tooled alternative to my Avocado Ice Cream or 5-Minute Pumpkin Nice Cream. However, the TikTok trend to make protein ice cream is not to my taste as they all use Fairlife dairy milk and are packed with sugar-free pudding mix. So let me introduce this wholesome, dairy-free protein ice cream made with clean and delicious ingredients to fill your body with plant-based proteins.

What Is Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream?

It’s a protein ice cream made from the same natural ingredients you use for your protein shake but frozen and blended by the Ninja Creami machine. The machine has the ability to turn a frozen protein shake into a creamy texture like traditional ice cream.

Ingredients and Substitutions

All you need are your Ninja ice cream maker, an empty Ninja Creami pint, and the ingredients below.

Peanut Butter, almond butter, or cashew butter. Swap the peanut butter for sunflower seed butter and use a nut-free protein powder. Maple Syrup or any liquid sweetener you love including sugar-free if preferred. Soy Milk – The best way to add protein to the ice cream is to use high-protein milk. Use protein-fortified almond milk and protein powder made from hemp or pea for a soy-free option. Chocolate Pea Protein Powder – You can use any chocolate protein powder you love, like hemp, soy, or peanut-based. Vanilla Extract – for flavor. Cocoa Powder – Prefer unsweetened cocoa powder to make it easier to balance the sweetness.

How To Make Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream

My favorite way to make protein ice cream in the Ninja Creami is to use simple, wholesome ingredients.

Serving

This peanut butter ninja protein ice cream is delicious served with:

A few dark chocolate chips Date Caramel A drizzle of extra peanut butter Shredded coconut Crushed peanuts Sliced almonds Vegan Whipped Cream

Flavor Variations

Of course, you can use this recipe to create a range of Ninja Creami protein ice cream recipes. It doesn’t have to be a chocolate peanut butter protein ice cream. Try the combination below to create different protein frozen treats flavors.

Vanilla Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream – Remove the cocoa powder, and use the vanilla protein powder and cashew butter. Strawberry Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream – Add 1/2 cup fresh pitted strawberries, remove the cocoa powder, use vanilla protein powder, and use cashew or coconut butter.

In the Ninja Creami machine, you can add pieces of chocolate or cookies to the pint to mimic traditional ice cream. If you want to add protein to the ice cream try adding 1/4 cup of:

Peanut butter protein bar crumbs Soy crisp Protein cookies Protein brownies

Secure the jar again, without a lid, in the Ninja Creami and press the mix-in button to incorporate.

Storage And Refreezing

You don’t have to serve the whole jar of Ninja Creami protein ice cream. If you have leftovers, use a spoon to smooth the surface of the ice cream left in the jar. You want a flat surface before refreezing, or the ice cream will be very hard to process by the ice cream machine the next time. Secure the lid and freeze it again. When you feel like ice cream, replace the tub in the Ninja Creami and press on the lite ice cream button again. Below are my answers to your most common questions.
