Ninja Creami Mint Chocolate Chip Protein Ice Cream Recipe
The Ninja Creami Mint Chocolate Chip Protein Ice Cream Recipe is a cool, creamy and healthy dessert. It tastes like classic mint chocolate chip ice cream but with extra protein.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk low-fat or almond milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
- 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener
- 1/4 teaspoon green food coloring optional
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips sugar-free if possible
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
Instructions
Mix the Base
- Take a mixing bowl and add milk, Greek yogurt, and protein powder. Whisk everything slowly until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps. This creates a creamy base for your ice cream.
Add Mint Flavor
- Now add mint extract and sweetener to the mixture. Stir well so the flavor spreads evenly. You can also add a little green food coloring for a classic mint look.
Add Chocolate Chips
- Mix in chocolate chips gently. Do not overmix. This will give small chocolate bites in your ice cream. You can add more if you love extra chocolate flavor.
Freeze the Mixture
- Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Close the lid tightly. Place it in the freezer for at least 24 hours. It must be fully frozen for best texture.
Process in Ninja Creami
- Take the frozen pint and place it in your Ninja Creami machine. Use the “Ice Cream” setting. Let the machine do its magic. It will turn into smooth ice cream.
Re-Spin if Needed
- If the texture looks crumbly, use the “Re-spin” option. Add a small splash of milk if needed. This makes the ice cream extra creamy and soft.
Serve and Enjoy
- Scoop the ice cream into a bowl. Add extra chocolate chips on top if you like. Enjoy your healthy and refreshing dessert right away.
Notes
- Use almond milk for a lighter version
- Add dark chocolate for richer taste
- Freeze longer for better texture
- Use stevia for low sugar option
- Add protein cookie crumbs for crunch
