Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 scoop (30-40g) high-quality vanilla protein powder
  • 1-2 tablespoons erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit sweetener
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract (or seeds of half a vanilla bean)
  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum or guar gum (optional but recommended)
  • Pinch of fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. In your Ninja Creami pint, pour the unsweetened almond milk.
  2. Add the vanilla protein powder, your chosen sweetener, vanilla extract (or vanilla bean seeds), xanthan gum (if using), and a pinch of salt.
  3. Using an immersion blender, blend all ingredients until completely smooth.
  4. Seal the pint and freeze for a minimum of 24 hours (48 hours is recommended).
  5. Remove the pint from the freezer, place it into the Creami outer bowl, and secure it.
  6. Select the 'Lite Ice Cream' or 'Ice Cream' setting and press start.
  7. Check the consistency; if crumbly, use the 'Re-spin' function.
  8. For mix-ins, create a well in the center of the spun ice cream, add ingredients, and select the 'Mix-in' function.
  9. Scoop and enjoy your high-protein ice cream.

Notes

Ensure your freezer is set to 0°F (-18°C) or colder.
Do not skip the xanthan gum for optimal creaminess.
Always fill to the MAX FILL line in the pint.
