Update for the 3 recipes I’ve made so far: Using PEScience protein powder as the base and whole milk. 1. Peanut Butter Cookie: 1 scoop powder, 1/4 tsp xanthum gum, 2 drops McCormick Mint Extract, top off with whole milk. I ran on ice cream twice, adding just a bit of milk for the re-spin. Texture was awesome! 1 drop mint extract would be plenty. 2 drops gives it an equal mint/peanut butter flavor, but almost over shadows the Peanut Butter. It was really good regardless! 2. Chocolate Mint Cookie: 1 scoop powder, ¼ tsp xantham gum, 4 drops mint extract, top off with whole milk. I ran on Sorbet twice, adding just a bit of milk for the respin. Texture was literally like soft serve ice cream from a restaurant and taste just like thin mint cookies :) 3. Gourmet Vanilla: 1 scoop powder, ¼ tsp xantham gum, 1 tbps peanut butter powder, whole milk. First spin was ran on ice cream. I then made the hole in the center and topped off with Butter Finger Bits, just a dab of milk, and re-spun on ‘mix-in’. The PEScience PB flavor is tasty, just not near strong enough for me. The Great Value brand of Peanut Butter powder I got really adds to the PEScience and really brings the flavor full circle. Definitely recommend PB powder with the PB protein powder. Real PB just 'wasn't there', the powder did the trick :) It turned out exactly like a Dairy Queen Butter Finger Blizzard. I put half in a bowl, then made a hole in the center of the Creami cup and filled with more Butter Finger Bits, ½ tsp PB powder, and ran another ‘mix-in’. OMG, incredible! I recommend using blue painters tape (won’t leave a residue when removed) to label lids when mixing multiple pints. Of my 3, they all smelled the same, and 2 were the same color lol! I wasn’t sure which was mint and which was peanut butter with mint :) My next recipes will be 1, Gourmet Vanilla with mint extract and a drop or 2 of green food coloring...2, Vanilla with chopped up Snickers Mini's... 3, Peanut Butter Cookie with Butterfinger Bites and some PB powder, yummy! Considering the cost of DQ and McD’s Flurries, you can make 1 a day for 30 days and your Creami has paid for itself. 1 pint container is about 2 servings. Well, it should be, I eat it all at once though! I bought 4 pack of pint containers as well which will be really nice being able to make multiple recipes at once, or when knowing friends or family will be coming over. Having 6 different flavors to choose from will be handy. Having 3 vanilla’s made, spin them up, divide them in half, and you now have 6 individual servings to make as mix-in re-spins, heckuva value!!!
If you freeze the ice cream without the top on, the mound is much smaller. Also, if you run the sides of the pint container under hot water for 40 seconds, you can avoid the ice around the sides. Lastly, the "Re-spin" function is designed for the second spin. It's much faster as it assumes you have already done the initial processing.
Wonderful recipe! I bought my Ninja CREAMi to enjoy ice cream without sugar and unnecessary carbs but had trouble getting a good sugar free product. I made a vanilla version with PEScience Vanilla and it was delicious! Creamy with a deep vanilla taste. And so easy!
That's exactly why I bought the creami. I normally scrape the sides with a knife before respin. Also flatten the mound in the center first so it doesn't damage the blade with time.
Yeah, I sometimes scrape the edges too, depends how icy things look and feel. Personally, I haven't found any need to scrape down the mound. My understanding is the blade issues only happen when the pint was unlevel.
This is a god send for us bodybuilders I waited 4 months to get the ninja delux I just prepared some ice cream last night and making my first batch today. Mine has 65 grams of protein 3g fat and I am using gram crackers, chocolate chips and Reese’s pieces and different batches.
I really enjoyed your video. I like to watch TH-cam videos. I have to say, I really liked your personality. You're very informative and covered all the bases right to the point. I normally don't pay too much attention to the personalities as I am usually trying to learn something. BUT very well rounded without to much other yada yada. Thank you
Im glad you like ice cream so much that you are a connoisseur, and not only running the equipment and expect an ice cream miracle. Thanks for showing us the tips and tricks to achive the best results for the perfect ice cream outcome. Ninja needs to hire you as their spokesman.
My PEScience was delivered today :) I got the Vanilla, Chocolate Mint Cookie, and the Peanut Butter Cookie. I mixed up some Chocolate Mint and a Peanut Butter Cookie with 1/4 tsp xantham gum and Vit D Whole milk. I added 2 drops of McCormick Mint Extract to the Peanut Butter one and 4 drops to the Chocolate Mint. The Peanut Butter powered I ordered won't be here til Saturday, and that should enhance the PEScience powder a bit. The taste test before putting in the freezer, they were both really good. My first reaction was 'Wow, that's really good!'. For mix-in's, I got some Butterfinger Bits and Snicker Mini's. Those Butterfinger Bits are gonna make that PB ice cream amazing! I'll update tomorrow when I get them spun up :)

7:50, It can damage the blade because it's just locked loosely in, which then, if the bump is too big, causes the blade to go down at an angle, hitting the sides of the pint and damaging the pints, causing plastic to end up in the ice cream, and also damaging the motor because it'll force it into an angeled angle.
I recently bought the Ninja Breeze and I love it! I'm trying all kinds of different recipes. Yours is super simple, so this recipe will be next on my list to try. I usually do a re-spin unless I'm adding mix ins. Nice scooping texture. I made a delicious butter pecan! Thanks!
@@LowCalNinja-qf4yeI'm considering it but a little hesitant given the price point and small amount of ice cream it can make at a time. I'm also looking at the cusineart ice cream makers. And it looks like there's a pretty long wait to get one of these ninja models.
@@delt19mine came with 2 pints and I ordered a set of 3 more at the same time. I got the set a day before my creami arrived, so I already had 3 pints frozen, ready to go. You could literally run as many pints as you want, back to back since they only take less than 5 minutes total. I got all of mine from eBay. 😊
I just got my Creami and wanted to use my protein powders to get the protein eaten but in an ice cream way as that is almost like cheating but it is healthy! Thank you for all the tips. I am looking forward to my first pint! Thanks!!
I love it when people post their experiments! I like how concise yours is. A few days before this video I just purchased some PEScience protein samples. My previous powders were Quest and KOS. So funny. I like the casein blends, but didn’t realize that was part of the creaminess. Good to know! I just got my ninja creami breeze a few weeks ago so I’ve been experimenting. My husband and I are addicted to this stuff, but I really need to keep the calories low to maintain my weight. I track my food so depending on what I eat, I can definitely fit some in. I decided to skip the mix ins because the calories for that really add up so I just put a tiny bit on top.just curious to know what your favorite vanilla protein is? That would be a fun video. Everybody seems to be stuck on a brand because they are affiliated, but it would be good to know an unbiased opinion. Chocolate too. I love KOS vegan chocolate, but does it do well as a creami? I’ve made it, but forgot. Anyway, just rambling away……
I'm gearing up to do a few videos like that. What's the best vanilla powder? Chocolate? etc. I bought a crazy amount of other powders since recording this initial video. :) Probably the first in this series(?) is going going to be about Cinnamon powders and other flavors you can make with Cinnamon protein. Right now, my favorite Vanilla is actually a Dymatize Vegan blend (amzn.to/3KmAcet). It does need a hint of sweetness or something though...I'm still figuring that out. It's got this smooth texture and super clean vanilla flavor without any weird aftertastes. Dymatize's Vegan chocolate (amzn.to/3rPgKRf) is very good too, but PEScience Select Chocolate Truffle (amzn.to/3rPgKRf) is my favorite chocolate. I toss in a Tbsp of dark coco powder and then use the recipe shown in this video. It never disappoints!
My experience has been that it refreezes hard, but with a few seconds in the microwave, it's very nice. I do transfer any leftovers into small plastic containers.
Thanks for this video. It seems your recommended Protein Powder's formulas have Suculose. Do you recommend a product that uses a more friendly Keto sweetener like Stevia, Monk Fruit, Allulose of Erythritol? Or, why might you think Suculose is a good ingredient? Thanks.
My understanding is Sucralose is fine when consumed in moderation and that's been my personal experience. Clean Simple Eats would be my recommendation for a Powder (at this time at least) for protein powders without Sucralose. CSE does have Stevia, Monk Fruit, and Xylitol though.
I order from True Nutrition. They have a number of flavors and you can do a "custom"sort of thing so you choose your protein type, your flavor, and can choose stevia sweetened. You can also do a protein blend if you want whey and casein.
Curious why you add the xanthum gum when the quar gum is already in the protein powder? I have read you can use EITHER but typically guar gum is for cold food. Just wondering why you use both?
It needs a larger amount than what's in the powder. Nowadays, I typically just do 1/4 teaspoon of Xanthan. That said, there are benefits of combining multiple stabilizers instead of just loading up on the same one.
Another question, what about using water instead with protein? I did 8 oz water, 1 scoop quest salted caramel protein, and 7 gram jello brand sugar free butterscotch pudding mix. It was very creamy, but I mixed it too much and it got a bit melted. I found the butterscotch flavor a bit strong.
I've tried that and the texture just isn't as good. It's more icy and feels more like an Ice Cream substitute than the real thing....and at the low cost of ~80 calories for the almond milk, I think it's worth it. Thanks for the comments and let me know if you have other ideas or suggestions! You and I seem to think similarly about this machine and recipes. :)
@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye ok, good to know! I’m glad the almond milk adds creaminess so I will try that. I’ll have to try your stuff you use. I was using 2% fairlife to reduce the lactose. Very creamy. I used to be an engineer and have a minor in chemistry. I love experimenting. I usually have too many things going at once. Ha. I had to really restrain myself to not buy protein powders. They really don’t agree with me (prob lactose)? Looking forward to more videos.
why does 2x spin on sorbet make it creamier vs 1 or 2x spin on lite ice cream? is it because theres not enough fat in the recipe to benefit from the more vigorous mixing or something?
Can you give the weight of the scoop of protein powder? From the video it looks like around a quarter of a cup. Here in Australia, scoops are different sizes. Powders that I have vary from 25 grams to 50 grams.
It varies with the brand. I would recommend doing whatever is on the label if it comes in around 150 cal. I didn't get to it in this video, but if the brand's shake recipe recommends that it be mixed with 5-6 ounces of water (and not 8-12), then it's generally not going to have a strong enough flavor for the whole pint. So look at the instructions for making a shake to inform how much to put in too.
@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye thanks so much for the quick response. Have checked mine and yes will need to increase as they are all under 100 cals for the grams they have. Cheers 😊
I'm finally gonna get my creamie ordered tonight. Could the 'milkshake' setting be used to initially mix everything before freezing instead of using a hand mixer? Would the Peanut Butter powder work as the main ingredient in place of the protein powder? I'm looking forward to making my own snicker blizzards with the 'mix-in' setting :)
You can give it a try, but you're not really saving any dishes using the creami to mix it. An immersion blender just makes it all so easy. Clean-up is mostly just running the blender in soapy water for a few seconds + a wipe down. You're going to need something a bit more than just the PB powder for flavor--it just won't have any sweetness at all. I think it'd be fine texture wise (assuming you use a 1/4 tsp of gum), but you're just not going to need to add some sort of sweetner.
I prefer gums. They're a bit weird since most people have never used them before, but once you try it it's super easy. The gums don't add any flavor and just a tiny bit thickens it up, meanwhile you need to pair up pudding flavor with whatever flavor you're making. Both work, but I think gums are the best tool for the job unless you're looking for the extra flavor that the puddling provides.
@@ironmaidenfitness654regular cornstarch only thickens with cooking. Instant pudding uses modified cornstarch. The gums are easy to use and pretty cheap given that you only use 1/4 tsp
You guys, I have only one box of a whey/casein blend vanilla taste protein powder (mostly because my kitchen space is minuscule) so here are the recipes I came up with: 1. Milk+gum+protein powder+double espresso = coffee ice cream 2. Milk+gum+protein powder+cacao powder&chocolate chips = chocolate ice cream 3. Milk+gum+protein powder+leftover baked pumpkin + spice = pumpkin ice cream 4. Coconut Milk+gum+protein powder+coconut chips = coconut ice cream 5. Milk+gum+protein powder+random fruit = random fruit ice cream
#NinjaCREAMi GREAT TIPS!!! Thanks for explaining everything! I am looking for more recipes and Ninja CREAMI tips! Please keep it coming! #ninjacreamitips
Yep. Is there a vegan flavor you're looking for in particular? I haven't tried all the PEscience vegan flavors, but I have a few recommendations for other vegan brands (ghost and Dymatize) that I've liked better.
@@lauramayhew848 How'd the PES Vegan Vanilla work out for you? Would you purchase it again or going to try a different brand next time? I'm getting ready to place another order and was curious what you thought of it.
In my experience, spinning on Sorbet a second time makes for a slightly thicker ice cream. Sorbet into light ice cream has just made for consistently good texture.
Do you know if it's a lactose thing? Or is it artificial sweeteners? Transparent Labs (www.transparentlabs.com/products/proteinseries-100-grass-fed-whey-protein-isolate) has probably the cleanest flavored protein. Maybe that'd work--still uses whey protein though.
You can make alot of things without protein powder. Ive used everything from plain greek yogurt and flavorings to fat free cottage cheese and flavorings. My faves though are just canned or frozen fruit made on sorbet.
I have used eggs, egg custard, and yogurt to provide creaminess without protein powder. Collagen also seems to give it a little creaminess. But I'm still experimenting and thankfully do not have food allergies or intolerances.😊
@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye I did some digging and turns out guar gum might be a slightly better alternative. Either way, it's a pretty small quantity as you said... Probably not too bad

My experience has been that it refreezes hard, but with a few seconds in the microwave, it's very nice. I do transfer any leftovers into small plastic containers.
If I want to omit the protein powder and just use sugar and half and half instead, do you recommend adding both xanthum gum AND guar gum?
Definitely use at least one--personally I'd go with Xanthan gum if it's one or the other.

So the pe science vegan powder works in the machine too?
Yep. Is there a vegan flavor you're looking for in particular? I haven't tried all the PEscience vegan flavors, but I have a few recommendations for other vegan brands (ghost and Dymatize) that I've liked better.
Cool thanks! Not necessarily, I ordered the vegan vanilla and wasn't sure if it would work for my machine. @@LowCalNinja-qf4ye
@@lauramayhew848 How'd the PES Vegan Vanilla work out for you? Would you purchase it again or going to try a different brand next time? I'm getting ready to place another order and was curious what you thought of it.
What is the reason you don't use the re-spin option instead of choosing to do the second spin on ice cream or sorbet?
In my experience, spinning on Sorbet a second time makes for a slightly thicker ice cream. Sorbet into light ice cream has just made for consistently good texture.
Is this lactosse free like isopure? Iam lactose intolerant
Guess who got his CREAMi Deluxe last Wednesday, and have been having ice cream daily since? 🔥
I am so jealous cause I cannot tolerate any Protein Powders and I just bought this amazing machine.
Do you know if it's a lactose thing? Or is it artificial sweeteners? Transparent Labs (www.transparentlabs.com/products/proteinseries-100-grass-fed-whey-protein-isolate) has probably the cleanest flavored protein. Maybe that'd work--still uses whey protein though.
You can make alot of things without protein powder. Ive used everything from plain greek yogurt and flavorings to fat free cottage cheese and flavorings. My faves though are just canned or frozen fruit made on sorbet.
Ninja Kitchen have recipes online without protein powder.
@@tonidale5274 I was bit shocked how tasty Grapefruit Sorbet is. I add Pineapple Juice for sweetness,
I have used eggs, egg custard, and yogurt to provide creaminess without protein powder. Collagen also seems to give it a little creaminess. But I'm still experimenting and thankfully do not have food allergies or intolerances.😊
Why do you choose not to use the re-spin setting for the 2nd spin?
Respin seems to be at a lower power level. Whenever I hit respin it seems to be at ~50% of the power or speed as the first spin.
Isnt xantham gum made from GMO corn and bad for your microbiome?
It's 1/4 tsp. You can sub out for whatever stabilizer you'd like.
@@LowCalNinja-qf4ye I did some digging and turns out guar gum might be a slightly better alternative. Either way, it's a pretty small quantity as you said... Probably not too bad
Enhancer
Those coffee creamers have nasty ingredients, I'd recommend sugar free pudding mix. It has better ingredients and adds to the texture.
Itt looks kindda high in cholesterol
Dont have this ice cream maker. I have a bullet maker.
Time to get a new kitchen appliance. 😀
