Instructions

Prepare the Base – In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup, combine the protein shake and low-fat milk. Stir well until completely mixed. Taste, then whisk in sweetener if desired.
Freeze – Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Seal the lid and freeze the container upright for at least 20-24 hours until solid throughout.
Spin in the Ninja Creami – Remove the lid and place the frozen pint into the Ninja Creami outer bowl. Lock into place. Select the “Ice Cream” setting and process until smooth and creamy.
Check Texture & Add Mix-ins – For a softer creamier texture, use the “Re-spin” function once or twice as needed. If adding mix-ins, create a well in the center, add your desired mix-ins, then run the “Mix-in” setting.
Serve & Enjoy – Scoop and serve immediately for best texture. Store leftovers tightly sealed in the freezer and re-spin before eating.

Notes

For best results, ensure the base is completely frozen before spinning in the Ninja Creami.
Adjust the sweetness to your liking with the sweetener of your choice or omit if your protein shake is already sweetened.
Re-spin as needed for a creamier consistency.
Any protein shake flavor will work, including plant-based options.
Be creative: add in cocoa powder, espresso powder, or vanilla extract for extra flavor depth.
