Berry & Banana Protein Creami (Creamier Version)
A richer, sweeter version of our classic protein treat, using extra Greek yogurt for a velvety texture and monk fruit for a hit of sweetness.
Method
- 1.
In a blender or bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, frozen banana, frozen berries, monk fruit, and vanilla extract.
- 2.
Add a splash of your chosen milk and blend (or whisk vigorously) until the mixture is mostly smooth, but don't over-process if you want berry chunks.
Don't over-blend if you like a bit of texture from the berries.
- 3.
Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami Deluxe pint, making sure not to exceed the 'Max Fill' line. Add a bit more milk if needed to hit that line.
- 4.
Place the lid on and freeze for at least 24 hours until solid.
- 5.
Remove from the freezer, place in the Creami machine, and select the 'Lite Ice Cream' program.
- 6.
Check the texture. If it looks like icy snow or crumbs, add one tablespoon of milk and hit the 'Re-spin' button.
This is the magic step for creaminess!

Health Insight ✨
This is a protein-packed, fiber-rich treat that satisfies dessert cravings without the heavy sugar load of traditional ice cream.
- Impressive 22g of protein per serving from the Greek yogurt base
- High fiber content (6g) provided by the berries and banana
- Low glycemic impact thanks to the use of monk fruit sweetener
- Mix in a teaspoon of chia seeds to boost the fiber and omega-3 content even further
- Top with a few crushed almonds for added healthy fats and a satisfying crunch
For the best texture, ensure your base is completely level in the pint before freezing. If it comes out crumbly after the first spin, add a tiny splash of milk and use the 'Re-spin' function.
