Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon instant vanilla pudding mix (optional for creaminess)
- 1–2 teaspoons sweetener of choice (stevia, monk fruit, or sugar)
- 2 crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreo Thins or a healthier brand)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Create your base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond milk, protein powder, pudding mix, vanilla extract, and sweetener until smooth. Adjust sweetness to taste.
- Freeze overnight: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Cover and freeze for at least 24 hours, ensuring it’s fully solid.
- Spin your ice cream: Place the frozen pint in the Ninja Creami and select the “Lite Ice Cream” or “Ice Cream” function, depending on your model.
- Add mix-ins: After the first cycle, create a small hole in the center, add crushed cookies, and run the “Mix-In” cycle to evenly distribute them.
- Serve and enjoy: Scoop and enjoy immediately. For a softer texture, add a splash of milk and re-spin.
Notes
- Freeze the base completely flat for consistent texture.
- Re-spin if needed for a smoother, creamier consistency.
- Add Greek yogurt or cream cheese for extra richness.
- For dairy-free versions, use plant-based milk and vegan protein powder.
- Store leftovers in the pint container and re-spin before serving again.
