[01dragonslayer]

No-Added-Sugar, Ridiculously High Protein​

Hit your daily protein goals with ice cream. No kidding. Just make it the right way. Here's the recipe.​

There's only one thing more delicious than peanut butter and that's peanut butter ice cream. But at 640 calories, 57 grams of sugar, and only 12 grams of protein per pint, it's a rare treat. So, make your own. All you need is a Ninja CREAMi.

This version has 64 grams of protein, no added sugar, and fewer calories. Here's Dani to show you how to make it:

Ingredients​

• 12 ounces 1% milk + 1 optional tablespoon
• 2 scoops vanilla whey protein
• 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts

Instructions​

1. Whisk all the ingredients together except the peanuts and the extra tablespoon of milk. This is your "base."
2. Add the base to the Ninja CREAMi pint. Don't pass the fill line. Freeze this base overnight.
3. Insert the frozen base into your machine and smash that "lite ice cream" button.
4. If it looks a little powdery, add the extra tablespoon of milk and use the "re-spin" button.
5. After it's finished, make a hole all the way to the bottom of the pint and add 1 tablespoon of chopped nuts.
6. Hit the "mix-in" button, let it do its thing, and enjoy!
