Ingredients

You’ll need the following simple ingredients to make this creamy vanilla ice cream:

  • 1 cup Fairlife skim milk (or any milk of your choice, like whole milk).
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or substitute with coconut milk, oat milk, or cashew milk).
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (a high-quality whey protein powder is recommended).
  • 1 tablespoon sugar-free vanilla pudding mix.
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.

Optional add-ins: Vanilla bean paste, heavy cream, chocolate chips, fresh fruit, vegan cream cheese, or other mix-ins.


Instructions

  1. Mix the Ingredients: Pour all the ingredients into the Ninja Creami pint container. Use a handheld frother or whisk to blend them well. Make sure not to exceed the max fill line.
  2. Freeze the Mixture: Place the container in the freezer for 24 hours until frozen solid.
  3. Prepare the Pint: After freezing, run the container under hot water for 60 seconds to help loosen it. Ensure the surface is flat and level to avoid damaging the machine’s blade.
  4. First Spin: Install the container in the Ninja Creami. Press the “Lite Ice Cream” button.
  5. Check Consistency: After the first spin, check the texture. If it’s still powdery, return the container to the machine and press the “Re-spin” button.
  6. Adjust as Needed: If the texture still isn’t creamy, add a small amount of liquid and re-spin until smooth.
  7. Add Toppings (Optional): Use the “Mix-In” function to blend in your favorite toppings, like chocolate chips or fruit.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop the ice cream into bowls, add more toppings if desired, and enjoy!
