Prep Time5

Freeze Time1

Course: Dessert, Snack

Cuisine: American

Servings:

1 1/2 cups 2% milk or whole milk
1 1/2 scoops vanilla protein powder use your favorite, I like Clean Simple Eats Simply Vanilla
2 tbsp instant vanilla pudding mix sugar free or regular
1/8 tsp peppermint extract
2 tbsp peppermint candy crushed, candy canes or peppermint mints

Mix milk, protein powder, pudding mix and peppermint extract in Ninja Creami pint container using a small whisk or spoon until combined.
Freeze for 24 hours on a level surface.
Place pint container in the Ninja Creami outer bowl and secure lid with blade, install onto machine. Run lite ice cream mode x1, check consistency.
Add crushed candy canes to the center hole, run mix-in mode x1.
Scoop and enjoy.

Make sure to mix the protein powder and pudding mix until it's fully dissolved. An immersion blender works great if you have one.

Don't skimp on the freeze time, it needs the full 24 hours for the creamiest texture.
