Unsweetened Almond Milk:

  • It has no fat and no calories or WW points, but it is creamy.

  • Greek yogurt gives the ice cream more thickness and protein without making it frosty.

Optional Mix-ins:

INSTRUCTIONS:

  2. Whisk or blend until pureed and well incorporated.
  3. Fill the inside of the Ninja Creami large package with the mixture.
  4. Do NOT fill to the max fill line. Even out the top.
  5. Close with the lid and freeze flat for at least 24 hours.
  6. Freeze it and then take the container out of the freezer.
  7. Put it in the Ninja Creami bowl & place the paddle lid.

TIPS:

  • Gummy Texture? Do not be concerned! That is typical. Simply spin it again once or twice, or spin it again after adding a little almond milk.
  • For a variety of flavors, try adding PB2, chocolate powder, or a dash of espresso.
  • To avoid spinning problems, stay below the Max Fill line.
  • To guarantee uniform texture, always freeze the pint on a flat surface.
  • To ensure you always have an initial flavor ready to spin, prepare a few different base flavors in advance and keep them in the freezer.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

REFRIGERATOR:

  • Not advised because melting cream rapidly loses its texture.

FREEZER:

  • Any remaining ice cream should be leveled out on top before being covered. And put it back in the freezer. Use the “Re-spin” feature and a little milk to make it creamy before eating again.

FAQs:

May I substitute another milk?

  • Yep, any milk will do! Then just pick one that suits your WW plan. Any of oat, skim/cashew milk is okay.

Is it rich in protein?

  • Indeed! Depending on the brand, some protein powders have 20–25g of protein per serving.

Which WW plan is it best suited to?

  • The recipe is applicable in any WW programme, more so the high-protein, low-fat food-based plans.

Is it possible to use dairy yogurt?

  • Absolutely! Non-fat dairy Greek yogurt is equally good.

Can children watch it?

  • Yes, definitely, but make sure that the protein powder suits them, or omit it and add yogurt.
