Notes
Customizations:
- Add Mix-Ins: If you want extra texture, crumble in digestive biscuits for a cheesecake crust effect, or add fresh strawberry chunks.
- Swap the Protein Powder: If you prefer a different flavour, try using strawberry protein powder for an extra fruity kick.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use a plant-based milk and protein powder for a dairy-free version that’s still packed with protein.
Leftover Tip:
If you don’t finish the ice cream, reseal the container and return it to the freezer. When you’re ready to eat it again, simply select the Respin setting on your Ninja Creami to restore it to a creamy texture.Nutrition
