Notes

Here are some important notes to keep in mind when making Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream:
  1. Protein Powder Selection: Choose a protein powder that complements your flavor preferences and dietary needs. Whey, plant-based, or collagen powders are common options.
  2. Sweetener Adjustment: Adjust the amount of sweetener based on personal taste preferences. Start with less and add more if needed.
  3. Mix-ins: Experiment with various mix-ins like frozen fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips to customize flavors and textures.
  4. Consistency Check: Monitor the ice cream's consistency during the freezing process in the Ninja Creami. Stop when it reaches a creamy texture suitable for serving.
  5. Storage: If storing leftovers, transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and cover tightly to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  6. Serve Immediately: Ninja Creami Ice Cream is best enjoyed immediately after preparation for a soft-serve texture. Freeze longer for a firmer consistency.
  7. Nutritional Variance: Caloric and nutritional values can vary based on ingredient brands and specific measurements used.
