Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 scoop protein powder (whey, plant-based, or collagen)
- 1 cup milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, dairy, etc.)
- 1/2 cup frozen fruit (banana, mixed berries, etc.)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1–2 tsp sweetener (optional: honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute)
- 3–4 ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather your protein powder, milk or milk alternative, frozen fruit, Greek yogurt, and any optional sweeteners or add-ins. Measure out each ingredient to keep the ratios balanced for the perfect creamy consistency.
- Combine Ingredients in the Ninja Creami Pint: Place all your ingredients into the Ninja Creami pint container. Be sure to leave the top edge clear so the Creami can spin smoothly without spillage or clogging.
- Freeze the Mixture Overnight: Put the filled pint into your freezer and let it freeze completely for at least 12 hours. This step is crucial to achieve the ideal texture when the Ninja Creami processes the ingredients.
- Process Using the Ninja Creami: Remove the frozen pint from the freezer and install it on the Ninja Creami. Select the “Milkshake” function to blend your ingredients into a luxuriously smooth and creamy shake. If the texture is too thick or crumbly, add a splash of milk and re-spin.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once your Protein Milkshake with Ninja Creami is perfectly blended, pour it out into your favorite glass, add any garnishes if desired, and enjoy the fresh, healthy energy boost!
Notes
- Freeze fully: Ensure your mixture is completely frozen before processing for best texture results.
- Add liquids gradually: If your shake blends too thick, add milk a little at a time; too much can thin it out.
- Use ripe fruit: For natural sweetness, ripe bananas or berries provide the best flavor without added sugars.
- Customize protein powders: Mix and match flavors or brands to find your favorite taste and nutritional profile.
- Clean immediately: Rinse your Ninja Creami attachments right after use to prevent build-up and ensure smooth performance every time.
