If you love healthy desserts, this Ninja Creami Mint Chocolate Chip Protein Ice Cream Recipe is perfect. It is creamy, cool and full of mint flavor.
Ingredients
- Milk low-fat or almond – 1½ cups
- Vanilla protein powder – 1 scoop
- Fresh mint leaves – 10 leaves
- Honey or sweetener – 2 tablespoons
- Vanilla extract – ½ teaspoon
- Chocolate chips sugar-free – 2 tablespoons
- Spinach optional, for color – 1 tablespoon
Instructions
Blend the Base
- Add milk, protein powder, mint leaves, honey and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until smooth. The mixture should look creamy and slightly green from the mint leaves.
Adjust Sweetness and Flavor
- Taste the mixture before freezing. Add more sweetener if needed. You can also add a few more mint leaves for a stronger flavor. Blend again for a smooth texture.
Freeze the Mixture
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover it well. Freeze for at least 8–10 hours until completely solid. This step is very important for best results.
Process in Ninja Creami
- Place the frozen container into the Ninja Creami machine. Select the “Lite Ice Cream” or “Ice Cream” setting. Let the machine process until creamy and smooth.
Re-spin if Needed
- If the texture looks crumbly, use the “Re-spin” function. This helps make the ice cream smoother and creamier. Repeat if needed for best texture.
Add Chocolate Chips
- Make a small hole in the center of the ice cream. Add chocolate chips. Use the “Mix-In” function to combine them evenly into the ice cream.
Notes
- Use cold milk for better blending.
- Do not skip freezing step.
- Re-spin helps improve texture.
- Use fresh mint for best flavor.
- Add more protein powder for extra protein.
