Ingredients Method Notes

Ingrédients
  

  • 1 14–16 oz vanilla protein shake (e.g., Fairlife Core Power, Premier Protein, Quest, Ripple, Orgain)
  • 1 tablespoon instant vanilla pudding mix sugar-free or regular
  • Optional for re-spin Splash of unsweetened almond milk
  • For Blueberry Compote optional topping:
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 –2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 –2 teaspoons sweetener of choice

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
  2. Pour one full bottle (14–16 oz) of vanilla protein shake into your Ninja Creami pint container. Add 1 tablespoon vanilla instant pudding mix. Whisk thoroughly until smooth.
  3. Freeze:
  4. Secure the lid tightly and place the pint in the freezer for 20–24 hours. Ensure the surface is level before freezing.
  5. Process in Ninja Creami:
  6. Remove pint from the freezer and install in your Ninja Creami machine. Select the "Lite Ice Cream" function and process. If crumbly, re-spin once or twice. For extra creaminess, add a splash of unsweetened almond milk and spin again.
  7. Optional—Prepare Blueberry Compote:
  8. Combine blueberries and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until berries burst, mash for a jammy texture (3–6 minutes). Stir in lemon juice and sweetener, then simmer until thickened. Cool slightly before serving.
  9. Serve:
  10. Scoop ice cream into a bowl. Top with blueberry compote or any toppings you like.

Notes

For best results, use a thick, creamy protein shake (Fairlife Core Power recommended).
The instant pudding mix helps avoid an icy or chalky texture.
Add nuts, berries, or cacao nibs as “Mix-ins” after spinning for extra nutrition and crunch.
