How to Make Protein Cookies and Cream Ninja Creami Ice Cream

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups milk (I use Fairlife for higher protein content)
1 1/2 scoops vanilla protein powder
2 tbsp vanilla instant pudding mix (sugar-free or regular)
3-4 Oreos (crushed)

Directions:

Mix the protein powder, pudding mix, and milk in a Ninja Creami pint container using a small whisk or spoon until combined.
Freeze for 24 hours on a level surface.
Place the pint container in the Ninja Creami outer bowl and secure the lid with the blade. Install it onto the machine.
Run the lite ice cream mode once and check the consistency.
If needed, run the re-spin mode once.
Scrape down the sides to remove any iciness and create a hole in the center of the pint that goes all the way down for even distribution.
Add the crushed Oreos and secure the lid.
Run on mix-in mode.
Scoop and enjoy!

How to Store Protein Cookies and Cream Ninja Creami Ice Cream

Tips to Make Protein Cookies and Cream Ninja Creami Ice Cream

Use cold milk for a creamier texture.
Make sure the pint container is level in the freezer to ensure even freezing.
Adjust the number of Oreos based on your preference for crunchiness in your ice cream.
For a chocolate twist, try using chocolate protein powder instead of vanilla.

Variation

You can switch up the flavor by using different types of protein powder or adding other mix-ins, such as chocolate chips or other cookie pieces. For a minty version, consider adding some mint extract along with the other ingredients.
