Ninja Creami has been around for some time now, but only recently have they been hard to find as they became super popular when individuals started using it for protein ice cream! Which is exactly why we chose to make the investment in this fancy machine. When I found it at Walmart for $148, I thought to grab two at the time, except there was only one left! I Haven’t seen many since and when I do their almost double the cost now. Ninja Creami can be found HERE.

I know what you’re thinking—another kitchen appliance… No more counter space. As that may be true, we have already used it just about as often as we are cooking steaks using the Ninja Air fryer.

For the last 10+ years my last “meal” of the day has been a low calorie, high protein snack: THE CHOCOLATE PB PROTEIN FUDGE, which is still a personal favorite, but now I have more options for nighttime desserts, packed with protein!

We know how important protein is for fat loss and optimizing performance.

 

 

Below I share with you some easy, protein packed, delicious recipes and pro tips when using ninja creami.

Toppings used on occasion for deliciousness:

1 Andes mint

How to make:

1. Grab a pint container   *ninja comes with two (We got extras off Amazon so we can “meal prep” ice cream)
2. Start w/ a base: Almond milk, whole milk, orange juice, whatever you want to try!
3. Prioritize Protein: 1 scoop of low temperature processed protein powder (Level-1 or Phormula-1)
4. Use handheld frother to mix directly in pint jar
5. Freeze for 24 hours
6. When you’re ready to make it, set it out to thaw for 30 min
7. Run the “ice cream” setting on the ninja Creami
8. Add 1 oz. of your base/ milk
9. Crumble up any desired toppings
10. Hit the “respin” button
11. Don’t forget the whip/ any toppings that you didn’t want to mix in but wanted on top!
12. LOG and SAVE as a Recipe/ Meal inside the TransPHORMation app

 

Pro Tip(s):

-Add in all ingredients (first we used a blender but than realized just more dishes.. ha! So now we just use a handheld frother & then shake it up before placing in freezer)

– Do not use ice cubes or any ingredients that are frozen (can break ninja creami)

-Make sure the cups sit in the freezer straight as they melt, don’t want them on their side

-Let sit out 20-30 mins before blending up

-Use regular ice cream setting

-When using “lite” ice cream setting will be louder + more creamier (melted super quick)

-Spin it two times total, once with ice cream and second using “respin” button

-use post-its to label his/ hers or flavors

-prep a couple at a time so they are stocked  in the freezer & ready to be made
