Directions

Makes: 16oz · Servings: 2

Pour the entire protein shake into the Ninja Creami pint container.

Pro Tip

Fill to the max fill line but not above — overfilling can cause the lid to pop off during processing.

Freeze for 24 hours.

Pro Tip

Place on a flat, level surface in the coldest part of your freezer. Uneven freezing leads to inconsistent texture.

Process using the Lite Ice Cream function.

Pro Tip

If the machine struggles or the pint spins freely, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before retrying.

Re-spin 2-3 times until smooth and creamy.

Pro Tip

One re-spin usually does the trick. If still crumbly after two, let it soften for 2-3 minutes and try again.

How long does Fairlife Protein Shake Ice Cream last in the freezer?

Is Fairlife Protein Shake Ice Cream suitable for special diets?

Yes, this recipe is: High Protein, Gluten-Free. Always check individual ingredient labels to confirm they meet your specific dietary requirements.

What if my lite ice cream comes out crumbly?

This is normal after the first spin. Select the Re-Spin function for a smoother, creamier result. If it's still crumbly after two re-spins, let the pint sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes, then try again.

Why does my protein ice cream need more re-spins?

Protein-based recipes are denser and harder when frozen. It's completely normal to need 2-3 re-spins to achieve a creamy texture. Adding a tablespoon of cream cheese to the base can dramatically improve the texture of protein recipes.
