Equipment
- Ninja Creami
- Handheld Milk Frother
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Sugar Free Vanilla Pudding Mix
- 1 scoop Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
- 300 ml Semi-Skimmed Milk
- 1 pinch Salt
- Sweetener (optional)
Instructions
Blend the Ingredients:
- In a Ninja Creami container, combine the vanilla protein powder, milk, vanilla sugar-free pudding mix, and a pinch of salt.
- Use a handheld milk frother to blend everything together smoothly. This ensures the protein powder and other ingredients are fully mixed without any clumps. Add sweetener if desired.
- Place it in the freezer for at least 24 hours until fully frozen.
Spin in the Ninja Creami:
- Once frozen, remove the pint from the freezer and insert it into the Ninja Creami machine. Select the Lite Ice Cream setting and let it process.
- The ice cream may look powdery at first—this is normal.
Respin:
- If the ice cream appears too powdery after the first spin, scoop a small hole in the center and add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to the pint and select the "Respin" setting. This will create a smooth, creamy texture.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Customizations:
- Add Toppings: Enhance the flavour by adding toppings like chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup for extra sweetness and texture.
- Add More Flavour: Try adding a few drops of vanilla extract or cinnamon to boost the flavour.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use a plant-based milk and protein powder for a dairy-free version that still packs a protein punch.
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
