The Best Protein Ice Cream | 4 Ninja Creami Recipes | Healthy & Simple Ingredients!

[@MegaJojhan]

For anyone doubting getting a creami. DO IT!! It has been worth every single penny, I have used mine for a year now and I have served multiple people with it without telling them its fancy pantsy protein ice cream and they love it.

[@suverenia]

it shaves off plastic from the lid under operation, and the lid collects ice cream while simultaneously being impossible to clean. Ninja has been notified by several customers, but hasn't replied to them. Major drawbacks which made me opt for another one. I hope they fix it in the future, because the idea is amazing.

[@MegaJojhan]

@@suverenia i have used mine i dont know how many times but the lid is in pristine condition so I have no Idea where it would shave plastic from. Yes the lid collects Ice Cream as it operates but its SUPER easy to just rise it a couple of times while pressing the blade release lever several times while, until the water becomes fully clear and then just shake it abit afterwards, the its clean again

[@kj-bt5yw]

I don't need another gadget. Nope nope. I have 2 sore fries instant pot ninja blender. Vitamin. Noooo. I'll try it and return if I funny need it. I loooove it. Get it

[@jensmertes9864]

@@suverenia I admit I am not a long-time user by now (just a couple of month or so) but I do not see any scratches with serious material removal. The surface of that area looks quiet normal and sleek to me. And cleaning is pretty easy if you follow one rule, clean it right after preparing a batch of ice cream. Remove the blade and sealing, rinse blade, seling and lid, take out an empty container, fill it half the way with hand warm water and a drop of detergent, put the lid back together, insert the container, put the lid on and have the creami run an re-spin cycle. Take out the canister, dry the parts and wipe off the drive shaft. Takes 3 mins total and the device will stay in a top condition.

[@Osprey1994]

​@@suvereniaIf you follow directions, as well as some general tips you can find on the net, you shouldn't have this issue. Additionally, some lady posted about having an issue with hers hitting the sides of her pints, and they sent her the next model up as a replacement. Make sure the surface is flat, make sure you thaw the pints for long enough (I submerge mine in hot water for 2 minutes), and for cleaning there are plenty of videos on how to keep it clean. I personally have been using really hot water, and just making sure to shake it before postioning it in such a way that it can drain properly.

[@ditz3nfitness]

I'm on a 4 months "A CREAMi a day, saves the day" streak! Haven't missed a day of ice cream since I got the Deluxe version! It's worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY!

[@OneManWolfpack79]

Before I add the milk and do the respin I always use a butter knife to scrape around the sides of the container the frozen bits stuck to the side that the blade missed, it makes it so you get less random ice chunks in the end and better consistency

[@classicnut6655]

Run the frozen pint sides under hot water for a minute before you spin and you won’t have to do that anymore!

[@EgonSorensen]

@@classicnut6655 More energy expensive - less (potentially, but not really ;ø) damaging to the inside walls of the container 👍

[@chairyannn]

My favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip. If you make a vanilla base ice cream, throw in 1-2 teaspoons of mint extract. You can either throw in mini chocolate chips OR melt the chocolate chips, and create a small hole in the center of the ice cream after you’ve mixed it. The chocolate freezes really fast, and when you mix it in it breaks it up throughout the whole pint. It’s amazing. 26 grams is my guess for the cookies. Awesome video dude!

[@nehi62]

I wonder if chopping up some refrigerated Andes chocolate mint candy would work as well.

[@JL-nk1pc]

The pros infuse fresh mint in the milk when making the base

[@RyanZirnheld11]

That’s a horrible guess for the cookies 😂

[@Wealth.is.Health]

Great recipes! To enhance the flavor even more, I highly suggest adding a generous pinch of salt to your creami ice creams. It's a true game changer.

[@tylerjameswall]

I use gypsy tears if I'm out of salt

[@fearceigknighter]

This thing is great for people who have restrictive diets. To be able to customize your own frozen treats is great!

[@cillianlyons8398]

206g. I’m currently perfecting a protein Chunky Money. Blended banana, vanilla protein powder, 1tbs of vanilla, 1 tbs of vanilla pudding mix. Walnuts and chocolate chips as a mix in.

[@sheilabostic6616]

Thank you for adding this.

[@kyrastuart1920]

185 grams. Frozen halved cherries are my current favorite mix in.

[@bobnewkirk7003]

I've had my Creami since Christmas and I use it probably 3-4 times a week. My big tip is to grab a cheap stick blender to do the pre-freeze mix as its way stronger than a frother and easier to clean than a blender/food processor. Going the Greek Yogurt/Cottage Cheese route along with a scoop of protein powder and you can put away 40+ grams of protein for desert, which is a huge win for me. However the downside is that its tough to get it all to mix and stirring gets real old, the stick blender gets through it in 10 seconds and only needs a quick rinse. I like the tip of using a splash of milk during the re-mix. I pretty much exclusively run the "lite ice cream" setting and it almost always needs a double run to get to creamy.

[@PrimeMatt]

The creamie is an amazing piece of kit! If you want a higher protein content, then just adding 80g of a decent flavoured whey protein, that will have some thickeners in it already, plus 320g of milk, makes perfect ice cream 💪🏼

[@JL-nk1pc]

No one needs 80g in one serving you'll shit it out

[@codycast]

@@JL-nk1pc80g for the pint. You don’t eat the whole damn thing in one sitting.

[@JL-nk1pc]

@@codycast speak for yourself

[@codycast]

@@JL-nk1pc lol okay 👍🏼

[@nihouma11]

​@JL-nk1pc there's no conclusive proof that humans have an upper limit for dietary intake for protein, so it's more important to worry about hitting protein intake goals over 24 hour periods than it is about over consuming protein in any one sitting. Besides, how would that even work, how would your body know when it's time to process protein again or just let it pass undigested? Your body doesn't work like that, digestive system is always working, even when it's not in full use - that said, protein in excess of what you need may be converted to fat, but again it's better to hit macros over 24 hours than worry about what's optimal at any given meal, plus if you're hitting the gym regularly it's doubtful you'll be overconsuming protein to such an extent it becomes fat (unless you're over indulging in calories generally)

[@TheProteinChef]

I think this is my longest video to date! Having to shutoff the AC in the house (too loud) is a food photography nightmare when it's 100F + max humidity outside…🍦

[@rudanegordon5607]

215 grams

[@jza8080]

For mixing these i always just use the milkshake function on the creami!

[@donquias903]

216 grams

[@imacraftysoul]

You are the BEST! I have that little ice cream devil that sits on my shoulder, too. You've inspired me to dust off my Ninja Creami and get busy with it again! Your recipes sound wonderful!

[@MylifeisHIS]

Very worth every penny! Coconut or almond milk ice cream is almost $6 for a pint at walmart. Then its really not that healthy cause it has a lot of sugar. If you want to make a bunch of different ways to make ice cream you can but once your find your favorites it’s awesome!! Thank you for making this video! Very helpful! Saved it under my creami recipe you tube tab!

[@scofah]

Beautiful floof at the end. 😺Thanks for the recipes!

[@mindypweightloss]

Resses' Puffs and Cocoa Puff minis are the absolute GOAT as a mix-in... as a caveat... I prefer not to mix in my mix-ins... but have them on the side so I can sprinkle a little in each bite with their preserved texture... I don't like how broken up everything gets on the mix-in setting. Also... If people prefer a thicker ice cream-like texture, you can do the respin without the added milk and it's AMAZING!!

[@debgonzales4828]

Thank you for this! I’ve been wanting a good recipe using the protein shake.

[@eeeeeeeeememe]

Thanks for sharing this video Derek!!! I LOVE the Ninja Creami!!! I am an ice cream lover so ever since this came out, I had to buy it! My favorite recipe is using Dymatize Fruity Pebbles protein and mixing it with almond milk and a teaspoon of vanilla pudding, then using Magic Spoon fruity cereal as a mix in. YUM!!!!! And my guess is 187 grams!

[@user-ec7wc6pi3r]

223 grams. I've never seen a creami but now I'm pretty sure I need one 🤤

[@energymusixback]

Thank you! Finally a good video!!! Good tips, good recipes, much of information, great summary!!!!! Of course I subscribed!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks so much! We have a creami and are always look8ng to improve on the nutrition side.

[@lindasingleton1828]

Just got mine 1 month ago and love it

[@kathyt729]

Love these recipes! My go-to, which happens to be dairy free, is: one Orgain plant-based chocolate shake + 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter + 1/2 scoop Equip vanilla beef protein, and I usually add 1-2 T allulose. Also, if you freeze it for a few hours without the lid on, you won’t get so much of that hump.

[@daveanderson6007]

Any of the TruFru are really good mix ins. I like the dark chocolate covered blueberries the best and then the white chocolate pina colada ones!

[@hectorsoulless]

Love these recipes! Gonna try out the first one with the fairlife. Have you ever tried the Alpha Prime protein brownies? Tried one of them as a mix in for a cookies and cream Creami I made. So good!

[@binchyaube7885]

Thanks, very interesting ❤

[@THEPROPHETSEERISAIAH]

I’m happy your still making videos

[@TheProteinChef]

Me too and more than anything, happy you're still watching them!

[@Kumofan]

You can also add a little lecithin to greatly reduce ice crystals (emulsifier)

[@rtgbhreth]

I won one of these in a pie contest at work. It will probably be my go to when I go back in keto again

[@lorim.4136]

Oh, I forgot mix-ins and toppings! I make sugar-free butterscotch, caramel, chocolate sauce, fudge, black raspberry sauce, lemon curd and maple curd. My favorite mix-ins (by hand if delicate or by Creami if not) are: Highkey mini chocolate chip cookies (sigh, they have almond flour), Catalina Crunch honey graham non-cereal cereal (S'mores ice cream), Catalina Crunch dark chocolate (sigh again, they have pea protein), Catalina Crunch cinnamon toast (esp. snickerdoodle ice cream) Lily's chips (the milk chocolate doesn't freeze as hard), BakeBelieve chips, sugar free marshmallows cut to mini, homemade frozen little balls of edible chocolate chip cookie dough, homemade half-baked sugar-free flourless brownies, homemade baked coconut flour sweetened pie crust (pumpkin pie ice cream made with Nestle Media Crema), homemade Magic Shell (coconut oil mixed with chocolate chips). I haven't gotten around to making my own sprinkles but I have organically colored erythritol and re-dried it for some gritty color on top. I guess everyone can tell how much I really, really love "ice cream"!

[@beaverboydilly]

As an upstairs neighbor, I feel obligated to buy this machine and make ice cream on the floor every night.

[@TheProteinChef]

Hahahaha!!!

[@bentuttle9170]

As a fellow professional upstairs neighbor, I concur. The blender and creami are not to be turned on until the clock strikes 10pm

[@jmt__]

Did you say you can replace the pudding mix with collagen? Great video.

[@FUKuViacom]

I think he said unflavored gelatin Aka KNOX for example

[@brittanysuppes]

243grams, the chocolate one... amazing 😍 ty!

[@yoDominican-]

To be honest, don’t need to re-spin it. If it’s powdery, add any mix-in and press the mix-in setting. This will give you more of an ice cream consistency rather than a melting shake consistency.

[@felinesofine]

Gorgeous cat! Oh, and I love my Creami too. Breakfast of Champions!

[@joshdewoody]

The way this man moves as he talks leads me to believe he is indeed a cyborg.

[@1KayBilly]

To avoid getting a milkshake/Frosty consistency, scoop it out when it is still just a little crumbly. Scooping brings it together and the result is more like a normal ice cream.

[@Mathachew]

185g. Can't wait to get a Creami in the future. Just wish I had more space in the kitchen

[@davidbay8389]

What's the pudding mix for? Can I do that without?

[@roycecharlton4924]

You can, but it does make it smoother once mixed.

[@MrTrip666]

[@GordonMacDonald-x1f]

Buying one today amd was scrolling for some recipes. Thank you. Also....I remember a marketing professor in university stopping someone in the middle of a presentation and said (thick Imdian accent), "Ben, your hands don't stay still. It's very distracting. You look like a boxer. Stop with the hands." After a chuckle over it, Ben stuffed his hands in his pockets to help stop them from moving. Made for an even better presentation because he was still a "hand talker" and it looked hillarious....still. distracting, but funny. Lol. Long story short...stand still laddie!!

Nice to see ninja creami video! One question: why put containers aside at room temp for 5-10min?

[@busymom0507]

To allow it to thicken before freezing.

[@guynursebsn2721]

The frother is linking to a scale ... 🍨

[@br0dy32]

[@sophiedesjardinsfamille1527]

Looking into getting one, thank you for this video! One question, do you have to add pudding powder or you can sub for extra protein powder?

[@TheProteinChef]

No need/don't need to sub though it'll make it a bit creamier.

[@derekdean5210]

great video, quick question, what does setting it aside for a few mins b4 putting the lid on it do?

[@lorim.4136]

I'd guess the frother would add air just as a blender did the few times I tried it. Otherwise, the air goes away when you freeze and you are left with an odd foam at the top as well as space that could have been used for a little more liquid.

[@codingnoob5946]

I’ve noticed most recipes use the fat free jello pudding. But it has maltodextrin and aspartame.. is there an alternative I can replace this with ?

[@LordCrowGaming]

The Unflavored yogurt doesn't have to be Greek. Use sour cream or cottage cheese as substitutes

[@ApteraPioneer]

If you want to challenge yourself and make some of us happy, could you try some plant-based versions? MIne always seem to come out slightly "icy" when i use plant based protein powder, even after running it through my coffee grinder first. And BTW, the link to your frother goes to a scale....

What happens if you spin these recipes on ice cream or gelato instead of the "light ice cream"?

[@deadlyalliance8281]

For using protein bars as a "mix in", I wonder if this machine can handle them already cubed up and frozen into the mixture over night or not....

[@Snerdles]

You generally wouldn't want to because the point of mix-ins is that they stay mostly solid. If you put things in ahead of time they will be shaved in to creamy unidentifiable goo just like the rest of the contents. You may as well just put a little extra powder in the mix ahead of time if you want a few extra grams in the creamy parts of the end product. Also, the manual warns against freezing solids and trying to spin them. Even things like sorbet and frozen fruit recommend not to use "in water" canned fruit because the block of ice will be too hard and the "in syrup" cans will be better suited for the machine.

[@deadlyalliance8281]

@@Snerdles right on. My idea behind it was to chop out a cookies and cream protein bar into small peices and use that to make my vanilla base cookies and cream. But, like you said and I was also thinking it, that it might be too much for the machine once frozen. As a regular mix in, it worked well, just didn't infuse it into my protein ice cream like I wanted it to lol. I was hoping a bar, chopped up, frozen inside it, would give it that Grey ish cookies and cream color. That's what I waa going for

[@g0gin0]

I eat two pints a day lol my mix ins are usually just cereal.

[@TheKnightArgent]

Am I missing something? I followed the greek yogurt recipe and there's very little there - maybe halfway to the fill line on my pint? 1/25 c of yogurt + 2oz milk isn't very much, but your video makes it look like it fills the container....

[@lorim.4136]

Just about anything tasty as a liquid mixture with a little heft can be made into a creamy frozen treat with the Creami! Thanks for putting so many bases together in one place. You forgot to have an example of protein that uses whole eggs either raw or heated custard. Premade protein drinks can have some really suspect ingredients. I also wouldn't recommend using the pudding mix - though cheap and easily available - as they are frequently sweetened with aspartame and the thickener is modified food starch (especially if you are going to eat the whole pint in one sitting), but I'm keto not just lower carb/higher protein. If you are not averse to some fiber, acacia fiber is pre-biotic and is what is used in Keto Chow. The number of spins somewhat depends on fat (more) and alcohol (fewer). Guar gum gives a creamier texture and xanthum gum can get - dare I say it ... snottier or clingier and while very expensive as well as hard to find, tara gum is supposed to be best. With a sensitivity to nuts and pea protein while despising yogurt, I'm firmly in the egg, cottage cheese and whey/casein/milk isolate camp. I also have dozens of flavors of extract after 18 months of having a Creami. I also lost 10 pounds having "ice cream" most days!!

Seriously I bought a Creami (such a cringe name), and it is absolutely incredible, and everyone overstates how loud they are. I had moderate expectations when I made my first batch and honestly it blew me away. Literally no need to buy ice cream ever again, and I can fine tune all the nutrition. If you are on the fence, ABSOLUTELY get one.

I have a few tips: 1. Mix ingredients in a blender bottle, way easier. 2. You don’t need to thaw or run under water when frozen. 3. Add a 1-2 tablespoons of liquid before you spin and you won’t have to re-spin. Trust me on these.

I thought the Creami was all fad/gimmick until I finally caved and grabbed one in a Costco sale because I was tired of having a protein shake every couple of days. This device is nothing short of magic. You can literally take a can of fruit, freeze it, and have sorbet with 1 ingredient. Protein shakes on a hot day as ice cream? Yes please. Low calorie ice cream with whatever low calorie sweetener you like? Yep, that too. If you enjoy ice cream you have to have this thing. Make sure to grab a couple of extra pints so that you can have a couple basic flavors always frozen for those times you just get a craving for cold deliciousness.
