Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine almond milk, protein powder, almond butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, honey, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high until smooth and well combined.
- If you wish to include chocolate chips for extra texture, stir them into the blended mixture.
- Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami Breeze pint container. Ensure that the mixture does not exceed the max fill line.
- Place the lid on the container and freeze for at least 24 hours. This ensures that the mixture is fully solidified before processing.
- Once frozen, remove the container from the freezer. Remove the lid and insert the container into the Ninja Creami Breeze machine.
- Secure the processing lid on the machine and select the "Ice Cream" function. Let the Ninja Creami Breeze work its magic, transforming the frozen block into creamy perfection.
- If desired, you can run the "Mix-In" function to incorporate any additional toppings or mix-ins for enhanced flavor and texture.
Tips and Tricks
- Ensure all ingredients are well blended before freezing to maintain a consistent texture.
- For an even creamier texture, you can substitute half of the almond milk with Greek yogurt.
- Experiment with different protein powder flavors to customize your ice cream.
Serving Suggestions
This protein ice cream is delightful on its own but pairs wonderfully with fresh berries, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, or a sprinkle of crushed nuts for added crunch. Serve in a chilled bowl or cone for a refreshing treat.
