3-Ingredient Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream
I like to sneak in healthy alternatives whenever I can. (I’ve lost 50 pounds in the past 2 years with the help of making healthier food swaps.)
One of the biggest reasons I wanted a Ninja Creami was because it can turn protein shakes, fresh or frozen fruit, cottage cheese, yogurt, and natural ingredients into ice creams, sorbets, gelatos, milkshakes, or smoothie bowls. It feels like I’m eating something indulgent, but it’s much more nutrient dense than store-bought.
The Home Depot has many of their small kitchen appliances on sale right now, including some from the Ninja brand.
For this red, white, and blue ice cream bar, I made a simple high protein vanilla ice cream base the day before.
Soft Serve Ice Cream Ingredients
- 1 vanilla protein shake serving (Use a scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder mixed with 10-12 ounces of any milk of your choice.)
- 1 Tbsp vanilla pudding mix (For less sugar, you can use a sugar free version.)
- 1 Tbsp vanilla bean paste (or scrape the inside of one vanilla bean pod)
- 1/4 Cup milk of your choice (if needed for a soft-serve texture)
