Tropical Mango & Coconut Creami
A sunshine-filled frozen treat using creamy mango and coconut for a tropical escape. High in protein and naturally delicious.
Method
- 1.
In a blender or bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, frozen mango, coconut milk, monk fruit, and vanilla extract.
- 2.
Blend (or whisk vigorously) until the mixture is mostly smooth, but keep some texture if you like it that way.
- 3.
Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami Deluxe pint, making sure not to exceed the 'Max Fill' line. Add a splash more coconut milk if needed to reach the 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 coconut milk and hit the 'Re-spin' button.
The re-spin is the secret to that silky, professional texture!

Health Insight ✨
This is a clever, protein-rich twist on a tropical treat that relies on fruit and monk fruit for sweetness.
- The Greek yogurt provides a significant 21g of protein, making this much more satiating than standard desserts.
- Using monk fruit instead of refined sugar helps manage the glycemic impact.
- The mango and desiccated coconut contribute a good amount of dietary fiber.
For extra tropical vibes, sprinkle some desiccated coconut on top after processing. If it's too thick, add a tiny splash of coconut milk and re-spin.
