Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk of choice (almond, coconut, dairy, oat, etc.)
- 1/4 cup protein powder (any flavor)
- Sweetener of choice (pick one):
- 1/2 banana
- 1 date
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1–2 tablespoons instant pudding mix (optional, for better texture)
- Optional: 2 tablespoons additional milk (for re-blend if needed)
- Optional: mix-ins (crumbled Oreos, peanut butter, fruits)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup protein powder, and your chosen sweetener. Blend until smooth (about 20 seconds).
- Pour the blended mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Secure the lid and freeze for 24 hours.
- After freezing, remove the container. Run warm water around the sides of the container for 1 minute to loosen.
- Place the container into the Ninja Creami machine. Use the ‘Lite Ice Cream’ function to process.
- If the texture appears powdery after the first blend, add 2 tablespoons of milk to the center and select ‘Re-Spin.’
- Fold in any desired mix-ins (Oreos, peanut butter, fruits).
- Scoop, serve immediately, or return to freezer for later.
Notes
- Use flavored protein powder to complement your sweetener and mix-ins.
- Banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess.

- Adjust sweetness and thickness based on personal preference and protein powder brand.
