Description

Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- ½ cup honey
- 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, adjust to taste
- 1/3 cup almonds, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt, optional
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup, combine 2 cups Greek yogurt , 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, ½ cup honey , 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder, 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a 1 teaspoon salt. Whisk until everything is fully blended and smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Place the lid on tightly and freeze on a flat surface for at least 24 hours. Make sure it’s level for even spinning.
- Once frozen solid, remove the container from the freezer and place it into the Ninja Creami machine. Lock it in place and select the "Lite Ice Cream" or "Ice Cream" function (depending on your texture preference).
- If the texture looks dry or crumbly after the first spin, add 1–2 tablespoons of almond milk and use the "Re-spin" button. Repeat as needed until creamy.
- If you’d like some texture, add 1/3 cup almonds add them now. Use the "Mix-in" function to gently fold them in without over-blending.
- Scoop into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the pint container, re-spinning again before the next serving for best texture.
