Equipment

1 Ninja Creami Ice Cream Machine
1 Blender or immersion blender stick
1 Freezer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup full-cream milk or oat milk whole milk — gives creamier texture and traditional ice cream feel
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt adds creaminess and a bit of tang
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder try using low carb and sugar free option with at least 24g of protein per serving
  • 2 teaspoons monk fruit or stevia sweetener to taste
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Blend the full-cream milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, sweetener and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy using a blender or immersion blender. If using immersion (stick) blender, you can blend directly in the pint container.
  • Pour the ice cream base into your Ninja Creami pint container, making sure not to exceed the max fill line.
  • Seal the pint container with an airtight lid and freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours until completely solid to create a good solid base.
  • Place the frozen pint container into your Ninja Creami machine and process using the “Ice Cream” setting (one-touch program).
  • After the first spin, check the texture. If it’s crumbly or too icy, add a splash of full-cream milk and run the Re-Spin cycle until you achieve a creamy consistency.
  • Optionally, create a small hole in the center of the ice cream and add your favorite mix-ins like sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts. Use the Mix-In function to incorporate.
  • Serve immediately for the best creamy texture or store in an airtight container in the freezer for later.

Notes

Tip: the leftovers may go a bit hard again in the freezer. If that happens, pop the pint into the microwave for about 15 seconds to soften it a bit. Do not re-spin when the container is not full, it could break the machine. 
Note: calories and macros are based on the whole milk being used. If using alternative milk the macros may change.
