Equipment

  • Ninja Creami

Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk Great for a creamy yet low-calorie base that's dairy-free.
  • 1 scoop protein powder Boosts the protein content for a satisfying, nutritious treat.
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract Delivers that refreshing, holiday flavor.
  • 1-2 tablespoons sweetener Adjust to taste; options include honey or agave.
  • optional unsweetened cocoa powder Adds a chocolate twist for an indulgence without the guilt.

Optional Creaminess

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt Enhances creaminess while keeping it light.
  • 1/2 cup silken tofu A fantastic dairy-free alternative for extra smoothness.

Instructions

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, blend 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop of protein powder, 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract, and 1-2 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener. Whisk until smooth!
  • Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Let it chill in the freezer for about 1-2 hours until it's semi-frozen but still scoopable.
  • Transfer your semi-frozen delight into the Ninja Creami pint container. Secure the lid tightly and place it in the machine. Choose the 'Ice Cream' function to whip it into creamy perfection.
  • Once the cycle ends, check the consistency. If it's too soft for your liking, simply rerun the 'Ice Cream' cycle. Add a splash more almond milk and blend again for an even creamier treat.
  • Scoop your luscious Ninja Creami Peppermint Frosty Protein Ice Cream into bowls or cones. Optionally, garnish with crushed peppermint candies or drizzle some chocolate syrup for an extra festive touch!

Notes

Ensure you whisk the mixture thoroughly to avoid clumps of protein powder. Don't skip the semi-freezing step for the right texture. Adjust sweetness to your preference before freezing.
