If you don't have a Ninja Creami and you need protein and love ice cream you need one.

The top contain the blade. If you rinse it off in warm water right after you process you pint it's that easy. I'll pull the gasket off hand clean it and throw the rest in the dishwasher every couple of days. Toss the empty pint in the dish washer. Not much to cleaning it.

People say how loud it is, but it's quieter than my ninja blender.

dean turner on twitter post awesome recipes for those cutting and needing high protein

i really need to get one for sure.

I have the deluxe with bigger pints and use 1 cup Kroger vanilla Carbmaster Milk, 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, a scoop of whey, a serving of icheesecake instant pudding mix, and sucralose as a base. That is 225 cals, 38p, 12c, 3f. You can then add whatever flavorings you like. It is 10x better than any of the low cal ice creams sold in stores with way better macros and 1/4 of the price.

I've had a Creami for over a year now. Average 2-3 pints a week when I'm craving something sweet. Most of my concoctions are ~200-300 calories and 30-40 protein. Crunchy mix ins for good texture take it to another level

Is there a way to refresh the ice cream once it goes back in the freezer? I made 3 different ones and tried a little of each then put em back in the freezer overnight. They are like ice now.

I'd love for folks to share their recipes or links to in this thread. I made 3 from the OP's link and the greek yogurt base was my favorite'.

I haven't. I think he newer model lets you do a half blend instead of doing the whole thing. That may prevent the freezing. Really ruins the leftovers.

Vanilla - 220mL fat-free Fairlife milk, 220mL 2% Fairlife milk, about 5g of vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp xanthan gum, 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use Gorilla Mind), +/- 40g artificial sweetener depending on what you use. Blend wet and dry ingredients seperately and then together. Makes 1 creami pint, I use ice cream setting for the texture but light ice cream is fine if you dont feel like respinning a couple of times. This is a great base for mix ins....thin oreos, Reeses cups, whatever

Chocolate - 1 small bottle (355 mL) of Promised Land Chocolate, 900mL 2% Chocolate Fairlife, 2 scoops Chocolate protein powder (Jocko Molk), 1tsp xanthan gum, artificial sweetener to taste...I usually toss a tablespoon or two in there. This makes 3 pints so you will need a big stand blender or use an immersion blender. I always mix in a few tablespoons of sugar free chocolate syrup when I creamify and I swear mine come out tasting like frosties...this is definitely worth the 10-20 calories.

Strawberry - 1 small bottle of Promised Land Strawberry, around 400mL of both fat free and 2% Fairlife milk, 400-500g cut fresh strawberries, sweetener to taste (I'm drawing a blank on how much I use but its not much, maybe a few tablespoons allulose), 1 tsp xanthan gum and 1 scoop vanilla protein powder but you could use 2. As always, mix wet and dry ingredients seperately and then together. Makes 3 pints

Mango Pineapple - so easy...2 plastic cups (comes in packs of four) of diced mango and 2 of diced pineapple, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1/2 tsp xanthan gum. Blend fruit with the juice together in stand blender then add in protein powder and xanthan gum. No sweeteners needed, trust me. Makes 1 pint.

I'll have to circle back to my banana recipe, it's at home and I can't recall off the top of my head. My advice on these and any recipes is blend them for at least a minute. I usually do 90 seconds to be sure so they dont separate and settle in the freezer.

Maybe. But I just assumed the respin does whatever your last spin selection was. Would need to read the manual?

I only use the light ice cream and mix in buttons.

I made a yogurt base once. Because yogurt is so tangy, I try to make it as if it is a cheesecake flavored ice cream so:

Yogurt
Half & half
2 scoops vanilla protein powder
fruit of choice
Blend it all and freeze it overnight.

Sometimes I make recipes with coffee, half & half, & either vanilla or chocolate protein powder.

When you blend it in the creami, run it through as many times as it takes to make it creamy (& not crumbly). Usually 2-3 times. If you want it like soft serve, add a splash of water (1 tablespoon), and mix it (usually at least twice).
