Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream
A high-protein ice cream made using a Ninja Creami machine that is smooth, creamy, and easy to prepare. Perfect as a low-calorie dessert or post-workout snack with a thick, creamy texture without traditional ice cream ingredients.
Method
-
Add the protein shake, protein powder, and pudding mix to the Ninja Creami container.
-
Stir or blend until completely smooth and fully combined.
-
Secure the lid and freeze for at least 24 hours.
-
Once frozen, place the container into the Ninja Creami machine and run the “Lite Ice Cream” setting.
-
If the texture looks crumbly after the first spin, add a small splash of milk and run a re-spin cycle until smooth and creamy.
-
Add any toppings or mix-ins you like and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Store the prepared base directly in your Ninja Creami container with the lid secured.
Freeze for at least 24 hours before spinning for the best texture.
Once spun, it’s best enjoyed straight away, although leftovers can be refrozen and re-spun later if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my protein ice cream crumbly?
This is completely normal after the first spin. Adding a small splash of milk and using the re-spin function usually fixes the texture.
Can I use different protein shakes?
Yes — any ready-made protein shake will work, although some create creamier results than others.
Do I need pudding mix?
No, but it helps improve the texture and creates a thicker, creamier finish.
Can I make it dairy free?
Absolutely. Use a dairy-free protein shake and protein powder alternative.
How should I store the protein ice cream base before freezing?
Store the prepared base directly in your Ninja Creami container with the lid secured and freeze for at least 24 hours before spinning.
