Ingredients

  • 1 scoop of protein powder any flavor
  • 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk or any milk of choice
  • 1 tablespoon of sweetener optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • Optional add-ins: chocolate chips nuts, or fruit

Instructions

Mix Ingredients:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, almond milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth. If you’re adding chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit, mix them in now.

Freeze the Mixture:

  • Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Place the container in the freezer and freeze for at least 24 hours.
  • Process in the Ninja Creami:
  • After freezing, attach the container to the Ninja Creami machine. Select the "Ice Cream" function and let the machine blend the ingredients until creamy.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Scoop the ice cream into a bowl and enjoy your protein-packed treat. Add toppings if desired!

Notes

Protein Powder Choice: The flavor of your ice cream will largely depend on the type of protein powder you use. Experiment with different flavors like chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry to suit your taste.
Consistency Tips: If the ice cream is too firm after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before processing in the Ninja Creami. This helps achieve a creamier texture.
Sweetener Options: If you prefer a sweeter ice cream, adjust the sweetener to taste. Stevia, honey, or maple syrup are good alternatives to sugar.
Dairy-Free Alternative: For a vegan version, use plant-based protein powder and milk alternatives like almond, oat, or soy milk.
Add-Ins: Feel free to get creative with add-ins! Try incorporating peanut butter, coconut flakes, or fresh berries for additional flavor and texture.
Serving Size: This recipe makes approximately 1-2 servings, depending on portion size. Adjust the ingredients accordingly if you need more.
Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in the freezer. However, the texture may become harder over time, so it's best enjoyed fresh. Reprocess in the Ninja Creami if needed before serving again.
