Preparation time

minutes

Ingredients

  • 360 ml whole milk

  • 1 serving of vanilla or chocolate mint flavored protein powder (whey type, approximately 30g)

  • 3 tablespoons of full-fat Greek yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon of sweetener of your choice (sugar, coconut sugar, stevia…)

  • 1 tbsp instant vanilla pudding (regular or sugar-free)

  • 2 to 4 drops of peppermint extract (no classic mint extract)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 pinch of salt

  • Chocolate chips

Directions

  • Assemble the base 
    Pour into the pot of Ninja Creami or Ninja Swirl Whole milk, protein powder, Greek yogurt, sweetener, instant pudding mix, peppermint extract, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and green food coloring. Whisk vigorously with a whisk or milk frother until fully incorporated. If lumps persist, first mix the milk and protein powder separately, then add the remaining ingredients.
  • Freezing 
    Place the pot in the freezer for 24 heures, flat and without lid — Freezing with the lid on creates a bump on top that could damage the blade.
  • Transformation into ice 
    Once the base is completely solidified, place the pot in the machine and select the program. Lite Ice Cream. One pass is usually sufficient.
  • Incorporation of mix-ins 
    Scoop a well in the center of the ice cream to the bottom of the container. Add the chocolate chips and/or crumbled mint Oreos, then select the program. Mix-In to distribute them evenly. You can also simply arrange them on top when serving.
  • Tasting 
    Serve immediately with additional garnishes as desired.

Notes

  • Peppermint extract is much more potent than regular mint extract—2 to 4 drops are plenty. Start with 2 and adjust to taste before freezing.
