Absolutely fantastic video. However, I would highly suggest trying to add salt to your ice creams. It is an absolute game changer. Thanks again for the amazing video!

[@louieblouie8036]

a pinch of salt definitely enhances the chocolate flavor

[@janp7660]

That is a serious protein powder collection! I have quite a collection, but nothing like that! Thanks for trying all of these for all of us. Greatly appreciated.

[@tinas2597]

Thanks for this great video... my Creami is on it's way. Can't wait!

[@TrVlogs82]

Yes! A protein recipe channel!!! Thank you!

[@lauriewahlig2819]

I appreciate your video as a new creami owner. didn’t buy for the protein drinks but thinking about trying them!

[@Ieasha10]

Wow! This was soooo informational and helpful!

[@katherinekaprisone5763]

Thank you so much for this vid!

Amazing and thanks! My exp for the best PP for Creami is a blend of Casein and Whey Isolate, I think Quest has that.

Thank you!

It is easier to use unflavored whey isolates and have a number of extracts, especially for storage. Almost all of the whey protein powders contain soy, so not good for most cancer survivors. Also if you have any MTHFR gene polymorphism, they all contain synthetic folic acid that cannot be metabolized and can build toxicity and possibly be carcinogenic. Good point about the vanilla, I scrape bean pods to add to ice creams then make extract with the pod remainders. I prefer guar gum to xanthum gum but I hear tara gum is the best. I sometimes use milk protein isolates as the 80:20 split of whey to casein would be as found in nature. Definitely dark cocoa powder works best and its fiber content makes for a thicker ice cream. Acacia fiber can help with that as well. Thanks for trying and assessing so many protein powders!

[@LowCalNinja-qf4ye]

Do you have a favorite brand for isolates? Or have you found they're all pretty much the same?

[@lorim.4136]

@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye I use Bulk Supplements unflavored whey protein isolate because its only 2 ingredients: whey protein and sunflower lecithin. As a Type 2 diabetic (as well as the other 2 woes cited earlier), there are the fewest carbs in isolates versus concentrates. No, I find some mix better with alternative milks and some are grittier. I liked Isopure's texture the best, for baking as well, if it wasn't for the soy. The flavored ones all contain folic acid rather than methylfolate but they do have some fun flavors don't they. I get fruity cereal extract and toasted marshmallow extract from a company called One-on-One. It's funny, I wish I liked the of flavor of Keto Chow's vitamins and minerals, because they address most of my issues so they really must have done their homework.

[@applejacks971]

Awesome video, thanks for putting it together for us! I agree with the 'extract' flavoring. I use mint extract and its pretty harsh. Anything over 1 drop will ruin your pint. Its potent! I'm gonna try some mint 'flavored syrup', I think it'll be a more rounded and smooth flavor. I'm just finishing up my first 3 containers of PE Science, I'm pretty happy with the 3 flavors I have, Peanut Butter Cookie, Mint Cookie, and Vanilla.

[@LowCalNinja-qf4ye]

Thanks! If the syrup works better, please report back. I haven't tested all the different extracts, just vanilla. It was so counterintuitive that vanilla extract just made my vanillas worse. I love me some mint chocolate and have been thinking about getting some mint extract, but never got around to it.

[@dehilacalmon4887]

If you do get a mint extract. Make sure you get pure peppermint for a sweet flavour. If it's mint and peppermint it tastes like toothpaste.

[@Millasoaps]

Great collection! I’m still working on my Quest protein powders. I’ve been adding pudding to mine and using less protein, but I’ll try your recipe next time I just need to pick up some cottage cheese. What percentage of fat do you use? Fat free, 1,2 or 4?

[@LowCalNinja-qf4ye]

I use FF or 1%. I haven't tried the higher percentages, but I'm sure the higher fat the better taste.

[@trollzone1]

Here’s all you really need to know… Leave your ice cream out for 10 mins, use 10 grams of powdered pudding mix or use .005 of xanthym gum by weight, and fill to the max line with protein (yogurt, fair life, or powder) and over sweeten and salt…optional items add extracts.

[@jakelley24]

The PowerBI dashboard is great. One thing that could be a great addition is including something around price, like price per gram of protein or price per serving

[@LowCalNinja-qf4ye]

Thank you! Noted.

[@jamesvoigt7275]

Your protein powder collection is bigger than you are! I wish you abundant storage space. You included so much information in this video, I shall have to watch it several times just to absorb it all. Many thanks for all your research and investment in the process.

[@LowCalNinja-qf4ye]

Thanks! I just stowed away all the empties in the attic.

@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye I love it. I grew up with basements and attics in the east. Now I live in the west where they are uncommon.

[@jordanfitness2030]

Great video! Do you recommend a certain protein that mixes the best with greek yogurt?

[@LowCalNinja-qf4ye]

Thanks! I'm not a big Greek yogurt person, but in my experience yogurts seem to mix fine with them all.

[@cynthiapridham2885]

macromike almond protein shake is the best, just tried the banana custart and raspberry cheesecake

[@jamesvoigt7275]

Although you spent only a few seconds on the subject, I found it significant that you encourage your viewers to amend rather unsatisfactory powders to be more compliant with your needs. I do that kind of reinforcement all the time. Playing with recipes is very satisfying. If I make a new recipe that turns out less than I hoped for, I usually remelt it and add something to improve it, like sweetener or flavor. Only thing I can't do is remove an ingredient, but if I feel it has potential, I add enough other ingredients to dilute the effect I don't care for. I find most failures are retrievable in some fashion. I love all those empty hard plastic containers because I buy a lot of dry bulk foods, and they make the perfect storage containers for them. I agree, though, they do take space. After making my own high-protein ice cream for about a year now, I have found an interesting side effect. I also like to bake, but now I find that the ice cream bumps other desserts off my list. The ice cream is definitely the healthier option. Thank you, Ninja.

[@LowCalNinja-qf4ye]

Thanks, James! Great idea on reusing the containers for things like flour, sugar, and other bulk kitchen items. I will definitely be doing that. 😃

[@jamesvoigt7275]

@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye I also transfer protein powder from bags to the hard plastic containers. Quite confusing unless I label carefully. I always think I will remember what I did . . . . . but I don't.

[@kite6864]

maybe the vegan/plant based premade protein shakes would work better? a little more pricey but if it's just for ice-cream then might be worth it

[@michaelrayburn1545]

Try nutircost casein protein powder just made it in my creami and it was my first ice cream I made from the ninja and it was absolute ice cream texture and cream and tasted great I only used vanilla flavor but I’m sure chocolate is just as good!😊

[@TheDarkLasombra]

I find the nutricost vanilla casein to be a bit bleh on flavor. Did you add anything?

[@michaelrayburn1545]

Not at first but if you add some vanilla pudding it makes it that much more

[@anthonyorosco1615]

My favorite recipe I just discovered is 1 scoop of protein powder, 1 oikos yogurt, 1 box of sugar free pudding and full the rest with almond milk, run on soft ice cream settingi have the deluxe creami so it makes about 24 oz of ice cream which will last 3 or 4 days for me

[@LowCalNinja-qf4ye]

Thanks for the rec! That must come out really thick between the pudding mix and yogurt, right?

[@speedlever]

What size oikos yogurt?

[@jaredssj.]

No problem if I use almond milk plus protein powder, pudding mix and xhanthan gum.

[@BoxingNow]

Add a scoop of fluff for texture and sweetness. I know, i know, the sugar...

[@NickNeumann]

What’s your top 3 brands and top flavor from each brand?

[@LowCalNinja-qf4ye]

That's tough, Peanut Butter flavors for PEScience, Ryse, and Podium have all been fantastic. So I'm going to exclude those since that might otherwise be 1, 2 & 3. #1 PEScience - Chocolate Truffle (amzn.to/3UPtGBA) #2 Ryse - Jet Puffed Marshmallow (amzn.to/3UHDI7x) #3 Quest - Cinnamon Crunch (amzn.to/4akFgu2) It's a close between Ryse Marshmallow and Dymatize Vanilla (amzn.to/4bGpI51), but I wanted to keep it at 3. **all links above are amazon affiliate links and I earn commissions on qualifying purchases through them.

This was incredibly in depth and resourceful! I cry for your wallet 😂😂😂

[@LowCalNinja-qf4ye]

Thanks! Haha yeah, it's several hundred dollars of powders here! I enjoy testing them all and it's money I would have had to spend on other food anyways...at least that's what I tell myself. 😂

[@jaredssj.]

Do you think you can get good results by combining 200 ml of non-fat milk and 150 ml of water with pudding mix and xantham gum?

[@LowCalNinja-qf4ye]

And protein powder? Yes, definitely. No protein powder, you'll be lacking some flavor (and possibly texture) unless you go real heavy on pudding mix.

I love it as a protein powder and have made protein ice cream in a blender but don't have a creami. It's a great option if whey bothers your stomach.

Can any of these be made in a traditional ice cream maker? I don't really want to invest in a Creami since I have a fairly new ice cream maker

[@LowCalNinja-qf4ye]

I'm not sure. I haven't really used a lot traditional ice cream maker since I was young. A lot of what I've learned about ice cream has come from a channel called polar ice creamery. Here's a video he did about protein ice cream: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYuak5-wq9Olr7ssi=mvDedTXyZI31ebbD
