Ninja Creami

@springlering62, aren't you like the oracle goddess of Ninja Creami around here? Seems like I've seen you post recipes on threads; any you could link here?

I LOVE MY NINJA CREAMI!!! (YES, I'M YELLING!!) I make a lot of different high protein low calorie ice creams. For the base, I typically use about 8-12 oz of unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop of chocolate or vanilla whey protein powder, 1 - 2 tsp of swerv or other artificial sweetener, a pinch of salt substitute and xantham gum. I then add extras to make a different flavor profile. Extras can include fruit, flavored extracts, or sugar free pudding mixes or syrups. I have started experimenting with just water and the protein powder to cut another 40 cals from the recipes, and have found success in my initial experiments.

Dark chocolate cherry - add a TB of cocoa powder to the base and mix in cherries at the end.
Maple bacon - vanilla base, sub 1-2 TB of maple syrup for the sweetener and add a dash of maple extract to the base; hand mix in some crispy bacon on the top
Pina Colada - unsweetened coconut milk, add coconut extract, lime juice and pineapple, shredded coconut as a topper.
Butterscotch - plain or vanilla protein powder with half a box of sugar free butterscotch pudding mix
Orangesicle/rootbeer float - 2 single serve sleeves of orange crush or rootbeer drink mix and vanilla protein powder

Endless possibilities...

PS it’s kinda funny when your banana for a banana split is more calories than your ice cream, zero cal syrups and whipped cream combined. And maraschino cherries are only 5 cal apiece. 😍

You all really have me tempted to buy one of these, but I have to wait until later this year to be able to afford it! Too many other plans this summer!

Next up: popsicle mold.

I’m obsessed with a local company’s blueberry-lemonade popsicles. Four ingredients: blueberries/sugar/lemon juice/ salt. Only 50 calories. But $4 bucks plus tax and tip for a popsicle……yikes.

Anybody remember Pudding Pops?

Jello popsicles were a great feature of my youth. Get the popsicle molds. Given the other things you enjoy eating, you'll achieve Great Things with popsicle molds.

I freeze 2 bottles of the Fairlife Protein Drinks in the deluxe pint. Then process on top half on lite ice cream and refreeze for another time. 150 calories, 30 grams protein per half.

I found if I freeze the fairlife protein chocolate milk (which I cannot currently find, dangit) and then blend it with about 30-40ml of half and half, it ends up very smiley in taste and texture to a frosty.

Lidl had strawberries for $.99 a quart, so this is half strawberries. To die for!!!!

Half pint (including the whipped cream):


Screenshot is a serving logged, multiply X6 if you’re filling all three containers. Mix pudding, skyr, Jordan’s Simple Syrup to taste, and enough I e water to make about 4 cups. Add finely diced fresh strawberries, should make about 8 cups. Divide into Ninja containers and freeze.

Still loving our Creami. Last week was Chocolate Chestnut icecream. Insanely rich and yummy.

Interesting… you add water. I’ve never done that, only almond milk or Fairlife milk. Is the taste still good and not watered down?

I eat it every night and I’m picky about my sweets lol. The pudding mix provides the creaminess. One spin and its ice cream container texture. Two and it’s getting to soft serve territory. We usually do two because we prefer the slightly softer, creamier texture. But we also usually put a half serving per serving of ice cream of low fat yogurt or homemade skyr in, too. (I was a bit short of skyr on this batch)

We like the skyr because it gives it a richer, tangier taste. To us, yogurt only in a pinch because it tastes a bit sourer.
