Equipment

Ninja Creami

Ingredients

⅔ cup strawberry slices (80g) fresh or frozen
1 cup milk of choice I use 2%
1 serving vanilla whey protein powder (35g) or any vanilla protein powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoon maple syrup
½ cup fresh diced strawberries
1½ tablespoon chocolate chips
½ teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

Add ⅔ cup strawberries to your Ninja Creami pint container. Microwave for 30-60 seconds. Mash with a fork until soft.
Add the milk, protein powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the container. Whisk thoroughly, cover, and freeze for at least 12 hours.
Run the pint under warm water for 30 seconds then dry it off. Place in the outer bowl. Blend on “Lite Ice Cream”, then add 1-2 tablespoon extra milk and “Re-spin” if necessary. Add the diced strawberries and blend on "Mix-In" mode.
While mixing, microwave the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30 second increments, stirring until melted.
Push the strawberry ice cream down in the container and flatten the top. Pour the chocolate topping over the ice cream and freeze for 3 minutes. Once ready, use a spoon to crack the topping and enjoy!

Notes

You can use fresh or frozen strawberries. Ensure they are thawed.
Protein content will depend on the brand of protein powder and milk used.
Use almond milk and a plant-based vanilla protein powder if you are vegan or dairy-free.
Run the pint under warm water to soften the sides and reduce ice crystals.
If you cannot finish the entire pint, flatten the top and re-freeze. Spin on "Lite Ice Cream" next time. The chocolate topping will become specs of chocolate throughout the pint!
