These high-protein Ninja Creami recipes have basically become our peace treaty between “I want ice cream” and “please eat something with nutritional value.”

  • Use a tablespoon of pudding mix to enhance creaminess without overpowering the flavour.
  • After freezing, let your base it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or run it under hot water before spinning.
  • Scrape down the sides and re-spin if needed for the creamiest texture.
  • Add mix-ins after the first spin so they stay chunky instead of fully blended.
  • Label your containers if you’re storing multiple flavours in the freezer.
