Ninja Creami High-Protein Banana Pudding Ice Cream
Classic banana pudding flavors come together in this high-protein Ninja Creami recipe. Vanilla pudding mix, fresh banana, and Nilla wafers create a creamy dessert that's nostalgic and perfect for keeping in the freezer.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 2 tbsp vanilla instant pudding (regular or sugar free)
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 sliced banana (yellow, not overripe)
- 4 Nilla wafer cookies broken into pieces
- Whipped topping, freshly sliced bananas, more cookies (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the protein powder, pudding mix and milk in the Ninja Creami pint container using a small whisk or spoon until completely dissolved.
- Cover and freezer on a level surface for 24 hours.
- Place the pint container in the Ninja Creami outer bowl and secure lid with blade, install onto machine. Run lite ice cream mode x1.
- Create a hole in the middle of the ice cream (all the way to the bottom). Add banana and cookies. Run mix-in mode x1.
- Scoop and top with whipped topping if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use a ripe yellow banana with only a few brown spots. Overripe bananas can overpower the pudding flavor.
- Whisk the base until completely smooth before freezing. This prevents any clumps of protein powder or pudding mix.
- First spin might be crumbly. The ice cream still looks a bit crumbly before the mix-in spin, but if it's able to be smoothed out with a spoon, it will be perfect after the mix-ins are added.
