This Ninja Creami Chocolate Protein Ice Cream is a delightful and nutritious treat that caters to your chocolate cravings while providing a protein boost. The combination of rich cocoa powder and chocolate protein powder creates a deep, luscious chocolate flavor that feels indulgent yet healthy.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (e.g., stevia, monk fruit, honey)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1 tablespoon nut butter (e.g., almond, peanut) for extra creaminess
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and there are no lumps.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Secure the lid and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 24 hours.
- Process: Once the mixture is completely frozen, remove it from the freezer. Attach the pint to the Ninja Creami machine, and select the “Ice Cream” function. Process according to the machine’s instructions.
- Optional Mix-ins: If you want to add any mix-ins (like chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit), create a well in the center of the processed ice cream and place the mix-ins inside. Process again using the “Mix-in” function.
- Serve: Scoop the creamy, chocolate protein ice cream into bowls or cones. Enjoy immediately, or store in the freezer for later.
