Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt (Easy Recipe)

This Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt is creamy, high-protein, and lower in sugar. A quick, healthy dessert that’s easy to customize with your favorite flavors!

NINJA CREAMI FROZEN YOGURT

Alright, let’s set the scene. 

It’s 9 p.m. You want something sweet but you also want to feel like you’ve got your life together. Enter: Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt. 

She’s high-protein, super creamy, and won’t leave you with that “I just ate a pint of ice cream and now my stomach hates me” regret.

This frozen yogurt isn’t just any frozen yogurt. 

We’re talking Greek yogurt, a scoop of vanilla protein powder (because gains), a touch of honey for sweetness, vanilla pudding mix for that chef’s kiss texture, and a little vanilla extract to round it all out. Oh, and a pinch of salt. Because salt = flavor. Science.

The best part? This takes about five minutes to prep. 

You toss it all in a Ninja Creami pint, freeze it overnight, and the next day you’ve got a dessert that tastes way more indulgent than it actually is. 

And since you know I’m not about boring desserts, this one’s got the perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and just the right amount of tang from the yogurt.

Basically, if froyo and a protein shake had a super chill, low-maintenance baby, this would be it.

SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE NINJA CREAMI PROTEIN ICE CREAM

You will need the following full ingredient list below to make this sweet treat (the exact measurements, nutritional information and full recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post):

• Plain Greek Yogurt – high-protein, creamy, and gives that classic frozen yogurt tang

• Vanilla Protein Powder – boosts the protein content and adds a touch of sweetness

• Honey – for natural sweetness and smooth texture. Can substitute for maple syrup, agave nectar, monk fruit sweetener, or type of sweetener of choice.

• Vanilla Jello Pudding Mix – helps create that silky, scoopable texture

• Vanilla Extract – adds warmth and rounds out the flavor

• Salt – a tiny pinch to enhance all the other flavors

• Optional – chocolate chips, peanut butter, fresh fruit, xanthan gum, heavy cream, cocoa powder, coconut milk, etc.

HOW TO MAKE THE DELICIOUS FROZEN YOGURT SOFT SERVE

Combine the Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey, vanilla pudding mix, vanilla extract, and salt all in the ninja creami pint container. Stir until fully combined and smooth, making sure it’s no higher than the max fill line.

Freeze for at least 24 hours.

Remove frozen pint and run it under hot water for 60-90 seconds.

Install the pint into your machine and press the Lite Ice Cream button or Frozen Yogurt setting for the first spin.

Check the texture. If it’s still a bit powdery, pop it back in and press the Re-Spin button.

Check frozen yogurt again. The final product should be creamy and have a smooth texture. If needed, respin until it reaches your desired creaminess.

Once it’s silky smooth, dig a hole in the center and your favorite toppings. Then spin once more on mix in setting.

Scoop, serve, and enjoy every tangy, creamy, protein-packed bite.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS

• Mix thoroughly before freezing to avoid clumps and ensure even texture.

• Let the frozen pint sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before spinning if it’s rock solid.

• If the mixture is too thick after the first spin, add a splash of unsweetened almond milk or regular milk before respinning.

• Use a high-quality protein powder you actually like — the flavor comes through.

• Customize with add-ins like chocolate chips, fresh strawberries, or granola after spinning for a froyo shop experience at home.

STORING LEFTOVER NINJA CREAMI FROZEN YOGURT CREAMY DESSERT

If you have leftovers (which, let’s be honest, rarely happens), smooth out the surface, refreeze, and respin when you’re ready for round two. Best enjoyed within 3-5 days for optimal texture.

​FAQS

CAN I USE FLAVORED GREEK YOGURT IN THIS DELICIOUS ICE CREAM RECIPE?

Yes! Just keep an eye on the amount of sugar in flavored yogurts — some can add way more than you expect. I usually stick to plain and sweeten it myself.

WHAT’S THE BEST TYPE OF YOGURT TO USE IN NINJA CREAMI FROZEN YOGURT?

Full-fat or 2% plain Greek yogurt works best for that super creamy texture. Fat-free yogurt can be used, but it may freeze a little icier.

CAN I USE REGULAR YOGURT INSTEAD OF GREEK?

You can, but the fat content and thickness are different, which can affect the consistency. Greek yogurt is the gold standard here.

WHAT’S THE BEST PROTEIN POWDER TO USE IN THIS ICE CREAM BASE?

Any vanilla protein you love. Whey or plant-based both work, just avoid gritty or chalky ones.

CAN I SKIP THE INSTANT PUDDING MIX IN THIS FROZEN YOGURT NINJA CREAMI?

You can, but the pudding mix helps give that ultra-creamy, scoopable texture. Without it, the yogurt may freeze a bit icier.

CAN I ADD FROZEN OR FRESH FRUIT, LIKE IN A NINJA CREAMI STRAWBERRY VERSION?

Absolutely. You can mix in chopped strawberries or swirl them in after the first spin for a Ninja swirl effect.
