Equipment

  • 1 Ninja Creami machine Essential appliance to process frozen bases into creamy treats.
  • 1 Mixing Bowl Used to combine ingredients thoroughly before freezing.
  • 1 Whisk For blending ingredients evenly and dissolving protein powder.
  • 1 Ninja Creami pint container To freeze the ice cream base before processing.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla) Base for creamy texture and protein.
  • 2 scoop Protein powder (vanilla, chocolate, or unflavored) Adds protein and flavor; blend well to avoid lumps.
  • 1 cup Almond milk (or milk of choice) Liquid base; use dairy or plant-based milk.
  • 2 tablespoon Natural sweeteners (honey, maple syrup, or stevia) Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • 2 tablespoon Heavy cream For extra richness and creaminess.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Adds depth of flavor.
  • 1 cup Fresh or frozen fruit For sorbets or mix-ins.
  • 1 cup Cottage cheese Optional high-protein base alternative
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar substitutes (monk fruit, erythritol) Use if sugar-free option desired.

Instructions

  • Pour the blended mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
  • Freeze the filled pint container on a level surface for at least 24 hours, ensuring the base is completely solid.

  • Remove the pint from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Install the Creami blade lid, place the container in the machine, and select your preferred cycle "Ice Cream," "Sorbet," or "Lite Ice Cream" depending on your recipe.

  • After the first cycle, check the texture. If crumbly, use the "Re-spin" setting. Add mix-ins like fruit or chocolate chips using the "Mix-in" program if desired.

  • Serve immediately for soft-serve consistency or place back in the freezer for 10–15 minutes for firmer scoops.

Notes

For best results, freeze your base for a full 24 hours before spinning. If the texture is crumbly, use the Re-spin function. Add mix-ins only after the first spin using the Mix-in setting. Adjust sweetness to taste, and freeze again for 10–15 minutes if you prefer firmer scoops.
