Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled if fresh
  • 4 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1–2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute)
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder (approx. 30 grams)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Mixture: Wash and hull the strawberries if using fresh. Blend strawberries together with cream cheese, Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and sweetener until completely smooth to create a vibrant pink, flavorful base.
  2. Mix in the Protein Powder: Add the vanilla whey protein powder to the smooth mixture and blend again until fully incorporated, adding creaminess and protein boost.
  3. Freeze the Base: Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container and freeze for at least 24 hours to ensure a solid freeze required for best results.
  4. Process in the Ninja Creami: Attach the frozen pint to your Ninja Creami machine and select the “Ice Cream” setting. The machine will churn it into a creamy, scoopable texture.
  5. Customize Texture and Add-Ins: If texture is too crumbly or powdery, use the “Re-spin” function for a softer consistency. Fold in optional mix-ins like graham cracker crumbs, nuts, or fresh strawberry pieces for extra texture.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture and avoid icy results.
  • Choose a high-quality vanilla whey protein powder with minimal additives for best flavor and texture.
  • Freeze the mixture completely for at least 24 hours before processing to avoid mushy ice cream.
  • Adjust sweetener to your taste by starting with less and adding more after blending if needed.
  • Try adding mix-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or cookie crumbs after the final spin for extra flavor and crunch.
