🧊 Ingredients

For One Standard Pint

• 14 ounces Fairlife Core Power Vanilla Protein Shake

• 1 tablespoon stevia

• 1 tablespoon sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix

For One Deluxe Pint

• 21 ounces Fairlife Core Power Vanilla Protein Shake

• 2 tablespoons stevia

• 2 tablespoons sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix

🍨 Step-by-Step Directions

Part 1: Mix and Freeze

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the vanilla protein shake, stevia, and sugar-free pudding mix.

2. Whisk the mixture until the stevia fully dissolves and the texture is smooth. (Note: the pudding mix won’t completely dissolve—this is normal.)

3. Let the bubbles settle for about a minute before transferring the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container.

4. Seal the container with the lid and freeze on a flat surface for at least 12 hours or overnight for best texture.

Part 2: Blend in the Ninja Creami

1. Once frozen, remove the pint from the freezer and take off the lid.

2. Place the frozen pint into the outer bowl of your Ninja Creami. Attach the Creamerizer Paddle, secure the lid, and lock it onto the machine base.

3. Twist to lock the bowl in place, then select the “Ice Cream” function.

4. After the first spin, your ice cream may look a bit icy or crumbly—this is common for protein-based recipes.

5. Re-spin the mixture once or twice until you achieve a soft, creamy consistency.

6. Serve immediately for a freshly churned texture.

🍫 Optional Mix-Ins

For extra flavor or crunch, use the Mix-In setting on your Ninja Creami:

• Create a small tunnel in the center of your ice cream using a spoon.

• Add your favorite mix-ins—think sugar-free chocolate chips, protein cookie chunks, or crushed nuts.

• Reattach the lid and process again using the Mix-In mode.

Deluxe Tip: If you’re using the Deluxe model, you can process the top half with one flavor of mix-ins, scoop it out, and then process the bottom half with another—perfect for variety lovers!

🧁 Storage Tips

• To store leftovers, flatten the surface of your ice cream with a spoon and secure it with the storage lid.

• When refrozen, the ice cream will harden. To restore its creamy texture, simply re-spin on the Lite Ice Cream setting before serving again.
