1. What’s your favorite protein powder brand for making Ninja Creami ice cream?

Brands like Optimum Nutrition (whey), Orgain (plant-based), or Vital Proteins (collagen) work well for smooth Ninja Creami protein ice cream. Choose based on your dietary needs—whey for higher protein, plant-based for dairy-free ice cream, or collagen for joint health.

2. Have you tried other Ninja Creami settings, like Sorbet or Gelato, for protein-based recipes?

3. What toppings would you add to make this chocolate protein ice cream your own?

Crushed pecans, sugar-free caramel drizzle, or raspberries add texture and flavor to this chocolate protein recipe. For a keto-friendly dessert, try cacao nibs or unsweetened coconut flakes.

4. Are you looking for more Ninja Creami recipes, like fruit-based sorbets or vegan options?

Absolutely! Try a strawberry-banana sorbet with plant-based protein or a vegan mango dairy-free ice cream. Let me know your preferences for tailored Ninja Creami recipes!

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 scoop chocolate protein powder

1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tbsp sweetener of choice (monk fruit, stevia, or erythritol)

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

Blend the Mixture: Combine almond milk, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and optional sea salt in a blender. Blend for 30 seconds until smooth, ensuring no clumps remain.
Freeze: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, seal tightly, and freeze for 24 hours to create a solid base for processing.
Process: Place the frozen pint in the Ninja Creami and select the Lite Ice Cream setting to churn into a creamy, high-protein dessert.
Serve: Scoop into bowls or cones. Add toppings like crushed almonds, sugar-free chocolate chips, or a drizzle of almond butter.
Store: Store leftovers in the pint container in the freezer. Use the Re-spin function to restore creaminess before serving.

Notes

Choose a high-quality chocolate protein powder with minimal additives to avoid graininess.

Taste the mixture before freezing and adjust sweetness, as freezing can mute flavors.

Try toppings like shredded coconut, chia seeds, or fresh berries for variety.

For variations, swap cocoa powder for vanilla protein powder or add frozen fruit during the Mix-in cycle.
