Ingredients

Vanilla Premier Protein shake – the creamy, protein-packed base for this ice cream. You can substitute with milk if you want.
Monk fruit sweetener or granulated white sugar – adds just the right touch of sweetness. Use your sweetener of choice!
Instant vanilla pudding mix – for that creamy, ice cream texture!
Peppermint extract – the key to that refreshing, cool mint flavor.
Green food coloring – gives it that classic minty green look, it’s optional though.
Oreo cookies, crushed – adds the perfect chocolate crunch to this sweet treat.

Instructions

1. Combine vanilla Premier Protein, pudding mix, extract, and food coloring in the Ninja Creami pint container. Stir well.

2. Freeze the pint container on a flat surface for 24 hours or until frozen solid.
3. Run the frozen pint under hot water for 30 seconds to loosen the sides. Remove the lid and place the container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami.
4. Secure the outer bowl lid, insert it into the Ninja Creami machine, and press the Lite Ice Cream button. Let the cycle complete.
5. Check the texture; if powdery, use the Re-spin function for a smoother consistency.

Tips & Tricks

Want ultra-creamy frozen yogurt? Add ½ teaspoon xanthan gum before freezing to maintain texture. This can be substituted for the pudding mix.
Chop mix-ins into small pieces so they distribute evenly and blend smoothly.
Place the pint on a flat, level surface in your freezer to prevent freezing at an angle.
If the ice cream is too hard, use the Re-spin function for a softer consistency.
Let the frozen pint sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or run under hot water for 30 seconds before spinning to prevent icy chunks.
If a dome forms on top while freezing, try freezing without the lid or scrape off any excess before spinning to protect your blades.
If you’re looking to reduce sugar content, consider using natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup or agave syrup for a different flavor profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different protein shake flavor?

What if I don’t have a Ninja Creami?

You can try blending the ingredients and freezing in a traditional ice cream maker, but the texture may not be as smooth as using the Ninja Creami.

How can I make this dairy-free?
