Ingredients Needed For

- Strawberry Nesquik: Provides sweet, fruity strawberry flavor and color.
How To Make Ninja Creami McDonald’s Strawberry Milkshake

Step One: Place strawberry ice cream in an empty Ninja Creami pint container. In a small bowl, mix together the milk and the Strawberry Nesquik mix well until combined.
Step Two: Use a spoon to create a 1½-inch wide hole down to the bottom of the pint. Add the milk mixture into the hole.

Step Three: Place the pint into the outer bowl. Attach the Creami Paddle to the outer bowl lid, then secure the lid assembly onto the outer bowl. Place the bowl assembly onto the motor base and twist the handle right to raise and lock it in place.
Step Four: Select the MILKSHAKE function on the Ninja Creami. When processing is complete, remove the milkshake from the pint and serve immediately.

Ninja Creami McDonald’s Strawberry Milkshake Recipe Tips
- Use high-quality strawberry ice cream for the most authentic flavor and creaminess.
- If you want a thicker shake, reduce the milk slightly or add a little extra ice cream.
- For a lighter version, try using low-fat or plant-based milk options.
- Clean the Creamerizer Paddle promptly after use to keep your machine running smoothly.
- Serve immediately for the best texture; leftovers can be refrozen and reprocessed if needed.
Storing Instructions
To store your Ninja Creami McDonald’s Strawberry Milkshake, pour any leftovers into an airtight container and freeze immediately. When ready to enjoy again, freeze the shake overnight, then reprocess in the Ninja Creami using the Milkshake setting for a fresh, creamy texture. Avoid storing at room temperature or in the refrigerator, as this can affect the shake’s consistency and flavor.

Ninja Creami McDonald’s Strawberry Milkshake Recipe Faqs
How long does the milkshake last in the freezer? Stored properly in an airtight container, the milkshake will stay fresh for up to 1 month in the freezer.
Can I use other types of ice cream or milk? Yes! You can substitute with your favorite strawberry ice cream or any milk (dairy or non-dairy), but the texture and flavor might vary slightly.
Do I need to reprocess the milkshake if it gets icy? Yes, if ice crystals form or the texture feels icy, simply run the Milkshake setting on your Ninja Creami again to restore creaminess.
Can I add fresh strawberries or other mix-ins? You can! Add fresh or frozen strawberries before processing for extra fruit flavor, or mix in chocolate chips or sprinkles after.
What if my milkshake is too thick or thin? Adjust by adding a splash of milk before processing if too thick, or freeze a bit longer if too thin for your liking.
