Berry & Banana Protein Creami
A creamy, high-protein frozen treat using banana for texture and berries for flavour. Perfect for hitting those sweet cravings without the sugar crash.
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.
- 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!
Don't skip the re-spin if it looks dry; that's how you get the professional texture.

A decent recipe nutritionally with some room for improvement. Small tweaks could push this into the top tier.

Great protein ratio at 31% of calories — ideal for muscle maintenance and satiety.
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.
