INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE CHOCOLATE PROTEIN ICE CREAM RECIPE

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make the ice cream base (the exact measurements, step-by-step instructions and full recipe are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post):

• Fairlife chocolate milk – alternatively you can use a chocolate protein shake and omit the chocolate protein powder.
• Fairlike skim milk
• Sugar-free butterscotch pudding mix – the instant pudding mix is used to make the ice cream thick and creamy. Can also use chocolate pudding mix, guar gum or xanthan gum.
• Chocolate peanut butter protein powder – I love Peanut Butter Cup from PEScience, you can use code BAILEY at checkout to save money on all their products.
• PB Fit – adds 4 g protein per tbsp and extra peanut butter flavor.
• Peanuts
• Optional – unsweetened cocoa powder, coconut milk, greek yogurt, almond milk, your favorite toppings, etc.

HOW TO MAKE THE NINJA CREAMI PROTEIN ICE CREAM

1. Add all ingredients except peanuts, chocolate chips and coarse salt to the ninja creami pint up to the max fill line and mix well with hand held frother.
2. Freeze container for 24 hours until frozen solid.
3. Remove frozen pint and run it under hot water for 60-90 seconds.
4. Install the pint into your machine and press the Lite Ice Cream button for the first spin.
5. Check the texture. If it’s still a bit powdery, pop it back in and press the Re-Spin button.
6. Check ice cream. The final product should be creamy and have a smooth texture. If your desired consistency isn’t reached you can add 1 tbsp of milk and spin again on the respin setting. Keep in mind when you add mix-ins it will mix the ice cream again.
7. Once it’s silky smooth, dig a hole in the center and add peanuts and chocolate chips. Spin once more on mix in setting and enjoy!
    

TIPS AND VARIATIONS FOR THIS HEALTHY ICE CREAM RECIPE

1. Protein Powder Options: Choose a high-quality chocolate protein powder that suits your dietary preferences and needs. You can opt for whey protein, plant-based protein, or collagen protein powder. Ensure it is a flavor you enjoy since it will heavily influence the taste of the ice cream.
2. Sweetness Level: The natural sweetness of the ripe bananas often suffices for most individuals, but if you prefer a sweeter ice cream, you can add a small amount of sweetener like maple syrup or stevia to the blender.
3. Mix-in Magic: Feel free to get creative with mix-ins to enhance the texture and flavor of your chocolate protein ice cream. Consider adding a chopped protein bar, crushed cookies, chopped nuts, chocolate chunks, or even a swirl of peanut butter for added indulgence.
4. Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to experiment with other flavors by swapping the cocoa powder for different options like matcha powder for a green tea twist or adding a touch of peppermint extract for a chocolate-mint combination.

CAN I USE ANY TYPE OF PROTEIN POWDER FOR THIS RECIPE?

Yes, you can use your preferred type of protein powder, whether it’s whey protein, vegan protein powders, or collagen protein. Choose a chocolate-flavored protein powder for the best chocolatey taste.

STORING LEFTOVER NINJA CREAMI SNICKERS ICE CREAM

Unlike regular ice cream, this will not stay soft and edible in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat your leftover ice cream, remove the ninja creami container from the freezer and spin again on lite ice cream setting.

Because there is so little sugar and fat content, it will not say soft and ready to eat.
