Ninja Creami Milkshake (High Protein)
A thick and creamy protein milkshake made in the Ninja Creami.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 scoops chocolate protein powder
- 1.5 cup milk divided, plus more to achieve desired consistency
- 1/4 cup peanut butter or peanut butter powder
Optional
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup if needed, especially if using an unsweetened protein powder
- chocolate syrup, melted peanut butter, or chopped peanut butter cups for topping
Instructions
- In the Ninja Creami pint container, add 1 cup milk, protein powder and peanut butter.
- Using a whisk or immersion blender, combine ingredients 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 24 hours.
- Add ½ cup milk to frozen Ninja creami container.
- Place frozen Ninja Creami pint container in the Ninja Creami machine and press the milkshake button. Re-spin x2 until thick and creamy, adding an additional tablespoon of milk until it reaches desired consistency. Milkshake will be thick (like a Wendy’s Frosty!) when its finished and will get a little thinner within a few minutes. If you like a thinner milkshake, you can stir in some milk at the end as well by hand.
Notes
If you prefer a lower calorie shake, use peanut butter powder instead of peanut butter, which is peanut butter with most of the fat removed.
Exact nutrition facts will vary depending on the protein powder and milk you use, as well as any mix-ins.
