Servings: 1 serving
Calories: 296kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fairlife skim milk
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder I used PEScience Gourmet Vanilla (use discount code BAILEY)
- 1 tbsp sugar-free vanilla Jello pudding mix
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 can diet root beer
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except root beer to the Ninja Creami pint container, filling it up to the max fill line. Mix well with handheld frother.
- Freeze container for 24 hours until frozen solid.
- Remove frozen pint, run under hot water for 60 seconds and install into your machine. It’s important that your pint has a level surface, otherwise it can damage the blade.
- For the first spin, press the Lite Ice Cream button. Remove the outer bowl lid. If the ice cream is still powdery, then add it back to the machine and press the respin button.
- Check the ice cream. The final product should be creamy and have a smooth texture. If your desired consistency isn’t reached, you can add a bit more liquid and spin again on the respin setting.
- Scoop a few big ice cream scoops into a tall glass.
- Slowly pour the Diet A&W Root Beer over the ice cream. Watch it fizz and foam up. Grab a spoon and a straw. Serve immediately.
Notes
Pour the root beer slowly – It foams up fast over the ice cream.
Variations – Try a diet orange, cherry, or cream soda. Chocolate ice cream works really well with diet cola.
