Tips & Tricks

- Use chilled milk for a smoother blend and faster freezing.
- If the texture is too icy after the first spin, re-spin once on the same setting to reach a creamier consistency.
Tools to make this easy recipe

- Ninja Creami ice cream maker (or similar single-serve ice cream machine) to process the frozen pint.
- Freezer-safe pint containers with lids for freezing and storing the ice cream.
How to make Oreo Protein Ice Cream with your Ninja Creami
- Add the milk and protein powder to a blender. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint and secure the lid.
- Freeze the pint on a flat surface for at least 24 hours (18–24 hours recommended).
- After freezing, remove the lid, place the pint into the pint holder, and attach the Creami blade lid.
- Run the Ninja Creami using the “Lite Ice Cream” function. If needed, re-spin once to reach a creamy texture.
- If using crushed Oreos, create a small well in the center of the base, add the cookies, replace the blade lid, choose the “Mix-In” setting, and spin to incorporate.
- Scoop and enjoy immediately, or return to the freezer for firmer texture.
How to store
Store the sealed pint on a flat shelf in the freezer. Properly sealed, the ice cream will keep well for 3–6 months. To preserve texture between servings, flatten the surface, replace the lid, and freeze. Before serving again, run the pint on the Creami’s ice cream or lite ice cream setting for one or two spins to refresh the texture.
