Ingredients

1 1/2 scoops chocolate protein powder
2 tablespoons chocolate instant pudding mix sugar-free or regular
1 1/2 cups milk
1-2 teaspoons cocoa powder

Instructions

Mix the protein powder, pudding mix, milk, and cocoa powder in a Ninja Creami pint container using a small whisk or spoon until combined. Note: Give it a taste to see if you'd prefer to add 1-2 tablespoons of sweetener at this step.
Freeze for 24 hours on a level surface.
Place the pint container in the Ninja Creami outer bowl and secure the lid with blade, and install onto the machine. Run lite ice cream mode x1, then check consistency.
Run re-spin mode x1 if needed. If still crumbly, spin again!
If you're adding mix-ins, create a small hole in the center and then add in any mix-ins that you want before pressing the mix-in button.
Scoop and enjoy!

Notes

Sweetener: Protein powders vary in sweetness, so feel free to add sweeter to taste before freezing.
Freeze level. Make sure the pint is completely level when freezing for the smoothest texture.
Re-spin. If the ice cream still looks dry after re-spinning, add a small splash of milk and spin again.
Nutrition information: Does not include optional sweeteners or mix-ins.
