How to Make It

Let’s get started on this delicious ice cream!

Blend the Base

In a blender or a bowl with a whisk, combine the Fairlife 2% milk, fresh strawberries, monk fruit, and protein powder. Blend until smooth. This is your ice cream base.

Pour & Freeze

Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Pop it in the freezer on a flat surface for 24 hours until fully frozen.

Prep the Pint Before Spinning

Let the pint sit out on the counter for 15 minutes. Then run warm water over the side of the pint.

Spin It

Once frozen, place the Ninja Creami container into your Ninja Creami machine. Hit the lite ice cream button for that creamy texture. If it’s powdery after the first spin, add a splash of Fairlife milk and run a second spin for the best results.

Add Mix-Ins (Optional)

Use the mix-in button to toss in extras like crushed graham crackers for a strawberry cheesecake protein ice cream vibe or more frozen fruit for texture.

How to Store It

Fridge: up to 1 week in an airtight container.
Freezer: yes, keeps well for up to 2 weeks.
Reheat: not necessary; enjoy straight from the freezer.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure the mix is well-blended for a smoother texture.
• Let the pint sit out long enough to soften slightly before spinning.
• For added flavor, experiment with different fruits or flavor extracts.
• Always use high-quality protein powder for the best taste.
