    Why You Will Love this Ninja Creami MilkShake

    I’ve been trying to figure out why my Ninja Creami will sometimes make milkshakes instead of actual ice cream, and I think its cause it hasn’t been in the freezer long enough. I’ve tried leaving my pint in there for 4 to 6 hours and it comes out looking like a Milkshake. Still good though right?

    Dairy-free and Vegan milkshakes are really easy to make in the Ninja Creami!

    Once the blending cycle is complete, you can add any mix-ins like crushed cookies, fruit, or candies by using the "Mix-In" function to incorporate them evenly into your .

    Ingredients Needed Ninja Creami Milkshake

    • 1 cup of Dairy Free Chocolate Milk - I use Ripple or Silk Plant Based Protein Shake
    • 2 sccops of protein powder (plant based)
    • 1 to 2 tablespoons of peanut butter
    • See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    How to Make Ninja Creami Milkshake

    Step 1 Place all the ingredients in an empty Creami Pint in the order listed. Freeze for up to 24 hours.

    Step 2 Press Milk Shake option.

    Ninja Creami Milkshake Faqs

    Can I put frozen fruit into a Ninja Creami Pint?

    No the manual that came with the Ninja Creami recommends that you do not use that. You need to blend it first so the machine lasts longer.

    Why is my Ninja Creami Chalky?

    You need to add some kind of fat or binder! Thats why people like to use pudding mix in their Creami’s.
    Using too much water-based liquid (like almond milk or skim milk) instead of higher-fat options. Add heavy cream, full-fat coconut milk, half-and-half, or Greek yogurt to improve texture. Sorbets are going to be a chalky consistency so you have to respin and add more orange juice or water.

    What is the best sweetener for Ninja Creami?

    The best sweetener for Ninja Cream is probably natural sugars like sugar, brown sugar, or honey.
    Granulated Sugar – Provides the best texture but adds calories.
    Brown Sugar – Adds a deeper, caramel-like flavor.
    Honey or Maple Syrup – Natural options that enhance flavor but may slightly alter texture.

    Can I use non-dairy milk to make ice cream in my Ninja Creami?

    Yes you sure can! Instead of regular milk use almond or oat milk.

    Popular Ninja Creami Variations:

    • Ninja Creami Vanilla Ice Cream - 1 tablespoon cream cheese, ⅓ cup sugar, ¾ cup heavy cream, 1 cup milk, 3-4 sandwich or Oreo cookies.
    • Protein Ice Cream - 1 container of Chocolate or Vanilla Fair Life Protein Drink
    • Ninja Creami Cherry Sorbet
    • Ninja Creami Sorbet Ice Cream - 1 15 oz container of fruit cocktail + Plus
    • Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream - 1 tablespoon cream cheese, ⅓ cup sugar, ¾ cup heavy cream, 1 cup milk, 1 - 2 drops of green food coloring, 2 tablespoons of chopped chocolate chips
    • NInja Creami Gelato
    • Ninja Creami Slushie

    Recommended Tools for Ninja Creami Milkshake
