Why you’ll love this

This cookies and cream Ninja Creami milkshake is a fun twist on a protein shake that’s made with just three simple ingredients and SO good.

It’s sweet, has the perfect creamy texture, and it’s full of delicious Oreo cookie flavor. Plus, it’s made healthier than a standard milkshake with nutritious ingredients like milk and vanilla protein powder instead of heavy cream or regular ice cream. PS- you’ll love this Ninja Creami Cookies and Cream Ice Cream, too.

One of these delicious milkshakes has over 25 grams of protein, so it’s the perfect treat for satisfying your sweet tooth while also keeping you full and supporting your health goals.

If you haven’t made a milkshake in your Ninja Creami machine yet, you definitely have to give this one a try. I love making Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream too, but the milkshakes come out deliciously thick and creamy like a Wendy’s Frosty.

Let’s get into what you need to put it together!

Ingredients

1. Milk: Milk adds creaminess and protein to this shake. My favorite milk for the ice cream base is Fairlife 2% milk (it has a similar texture as whole milk), but you can use whatever you like. Dairy-free milk alternatives like almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk and soy milk will work too.
2. Vanilla protein powder: The protein powder makes this shake high protein but also adds flavor and makes it nice and thick too! Make sure to choose a protein powder that you like. Here are a few options that you can check out:
   • Clean Simple Eats: One of my new favorites! Really tasty, uses monk fruit and stevia instead of artificial sweeteners. I love both the chocolate flavor and vanilla.
   • Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey: My personal favorite flavor-wise but does use artificial sweeteners.
   • Orgain Simple Plant Protein Powder: Awesome plant-based protein powder option.
   • Naked Whey Protein: Great if you prefer something with very minimal ingredients. It only uses three ingredients!
   • Premier Protein: Another popular option taste and texture-wise but does use artificial sweeteners.
3. Oreos: You’ll need Oreo cookies, of course! You can also use any other chocolate sandwich cookies that you like (or any cookies, really!).

If you’re using an unsweetened protein powder, you may need to add some honey or maple syrup, but most protein powders are already sweetened with sugar or a sugar alternative.

How to make a Ninja Creami Oreo Milkshake

1. Add 1 cup milk and protein powder to Ninja creami pint container.
2. Using a whisk or immersion blender, combine milk and protein powder until smooth. You can also put the pint cover on tightly and shake it until mixed well (make sure it doesn’t leak!). Place in the freezer for 12-24 hours.

3. Place frozen Ninja Creami pint container in Ninja Creami ice cream machine and press “lite ice cream”.

4. Next, add ½ cup of milk before running the machine on the milkshake setting x2. Add an additional tablespoon of milk at a time to reach your perfect texture If needed.

5. Add crushed Oreos and run on “mix-in setting” and serve immediately with additional crushed Oreos, whipped cream or chocolate sauce.

Variations

• Use chocolate protein powder instead for a chocolate Oreo version.
• Instead of Oreos, use your favorite crunchy chocolate chip cookies.
• Add a scoop of peanut butter or almond butter for an Oreo peanut butter variety.
• Add a tablespoon or two of vanilla instant pudding mix to your base for an even creamier shake with a frozen pudding-like texture. You can even use Oreo instant pudding mix for more cookies and cream flavor.
• Add vanilla extract for a more intense vanilla flavor.

Toppings + add-in ideas

• Crushed Oreo cookies or any other crunchy cookie you enjoy.
• Chocolate syrup
• Mini chocolate chips
• Melted peanut butter or almond butter for drizzling
• Fresh fruit like strawberries
