Create a creamy, high-protein ice cream base using the Ninja Creami. This recipe is macro-friendly and perfect for satisfying sweet cravings after a workout.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Fairlife ultra-filtered milk (or similar high-protein milk)
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored whey/casein protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for texture)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Sweetener to taste (e.g., stevia or monk fruit drops)

Instructions

  1. Combine the Fairlife milk, protein powder, xanthan gum (if using), vanilla extract, and sweetener in a sealable container suitable for the Ninja Creami.
  2. Whisk or blend the mixture thoroughly until the protein powder is fully dissolved and there are no clumps.
  3. Place the lid on the container and freeze for 24 hours until solid.
  4. Place the frozen base into the Ninja Creami outer bowl and secure the lid.
  5. Process using the ‘Lite Ice Cream’ or ‘Ice Cream’ setting.
  6. If the texture is powdery, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk and run the ‘Re-spin’ function until you achieve a creamy texture.
  7. Serve immediately as a healthy frozen dessert or post-workout treat.

Notes

  • For a chocolate version, add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the base mixture.
  • If you do not have a Ninja Creami, you can use this base in a standard ice cream maker or blend it with a small amount of liquid for a soft-serve consistency.
  • Using a blend of whey and casein protein powder often results in a creamier texture than using whey alone.
