Equipment

Ninja Creami

Ingredients

¾ cup 2% milk
¾ cup skim milk
1 serving chocolate whey protein powder or any vanilla protein powder
1 tablespoon sugar-free chocolate pudding mix
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1 small package mini eggs 8-12 eggs

Instructions

Add the milk, protein powder, pudding mix, and maple syrup to a Ninja Creami pint. Stir and freeze overnight.
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”. Stuff the mini eggs in the center of the ice cream and blend on "Mix-In" mode. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

If you can't find sugar-free pudding mix, this recipe will still taste great without it. It adds a little extra chocolate flavor and thickening.
If you only have 1 type of milk, you can use entirely skim milk or entirely 2% milk and it will turn out fine.
Protein content will depend on the brand of protein powder and milk.
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 mini eggs will blend into the base.
