It’s never too late to jump on the bandwagon when it comes to a healthy trend. This product has been out for a while and if you have any sort of social media you’ve probably already seen what this thing can do. The Ninja CREAMi is by far the best at home ice cream maker and the creativity is endless for what recipes you can make. My absolute favorite are the easy high protein CREAMi recipes.
You can find them virtually anywhere however, these are the two that are my current favorite. Below I’ve provided the instructions for a chocolate ice cream recipe that can easily be switched to vanilla AND you can add any mix-ins (candy, cookies, syrup, etc.) you want! The second one is a strawberry sorbet (again, with protein added.)
When it comes to enjoying something sweet AND hitting your protein goal, this machine makes it so easy it feels too good to be true.
Note: The recipes below are using the older model of the Ninja CREAMI and there has since been a newer release. You’ll want to check out these pros and cons if you decide to buy one.
